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
