This March-issue of WIRE is marked by a multitude of new product introductions. AIM from the USA is introducing its new ‘AFCe-3Dx’ line, an advanced and compact 3D wire-bending machine. Wire bending machines from Wafios such as the ‘BM 43 HS’ offer flexible bending solutions. The ‘BM 12’ bolt-making machine is the most powerful of all machines ever built by Amba. Carlo Salvi recently introduced the ‘CS 663 LF’, a upgrade to its ‘CS 663’ model. An automated feeding system from Simco effectively reducing spring tangling and improving loading accuracy. Pyromaitre’s new ‘P106-Basic’ oven is designed for small springs. For the production of ‘Twinax’ cables, Rosendahl Nextrom has just the right extrusions available. Kurre is enhancing its portal payoff with a new ‘Remaining length’ operation mode. Zumbach helped cable manufacturer Nexans with appropriate solutions. Videx now offers operator-free lines to produce hi-tensile U-bolts from coils and bars. We wish you an enjoyable read! Your WIRE team
