Wire and cable is a demanding profession. It is also one that we have spent our careers serving. We have done so in different sectors, but we have shared a similar path. It is one that led each of us to join and support the WAI, because it serves the industry we care about. The clearest example of that is the Association’s staging of Interwire, and what it means. This is a critical time for manufacturing, and that includes the wire and cable industry. Yes, we all know there are enormous challenges, yet those hurdles also come with opportunities, if we are ready for them. That’s why each day we need to work on ways to further improve quality and reduce costs, all while innovating processes and products. We work in teams and we partner with suppliers and our customers. We are not intimidated by our ultra-competitive industry sectors and we are eager to collaborate with our peers when it is in the best interest of the industry. That is the backstory to Interwire and, frankly, of the WAI. It is where one can find solutions and directions. Nearly a hundred volunteers have worked behind the scenes to organize this industry showcase. This year’s program features a new Technical Program on the exhibit floor and the third production of the Global Continuous Casting Forum. A hundred authors and instructors are joined by some 350 represented companies on the exhibit floor. Interwire celebrates and showcases the rewarding, demanding, innovative business of wire and cable manufacturing. We hope you enjoy this special event, as you are an important part of it!

NEW & NOTEWORTHY
NEW & Noteworthy Sonoco Theater to present an industry triple feature on the show floor The Interwire Technical Program is not just ready for prime time, it is guaranteed to be marquee-quality, courtesy of Sonoco, which sponsored the first-ever such setting...and it’s all free!
The Sonoco Theater will be playing industry favorites. The first showing at the Sonoco Theater will be at 1 pm on Tuesday, May 14, with the presentation of the Mordica Lecture by Walter Van Raemdonck, NV Bekaert SA; followed by 14 technical papers over two days, then a rousing can-do talk by Ross Bernstein, “The Champion’s Code: Building Relationships Through Life Lessons of Integrity and Accountability from the Sports World to the Business World,” that should be of interest to any attendee.
The WAI reception combines gridiron setting, and a few stress-free laughs In 2015, the WAI held its Opening Reception at the newly opened College Football Hall of Fame, which lived up to its billing, getting rave reviews even from attendees who are not gridiron fans. The WAI will return on Tuesday, May 15. The three-story site has 50,000 sq ft of event space with more than 50 engaging and interactive exhibits. And even if sports is not your strong point, you can enjoy a different experience. A local comedian, John Floyd, will make an important presentation: “How To Laugh A Lot And Stress Not.” Warning! there’s only room for 150 people in the Game Day Theater, so if you’d like to attend, it’s first-come, firstseated.
TOUR - Additional Option This Georgia Tech tour offered a hefty degree of manufacturing smarts If you were lucky enough schedule-wise to be in Atlanta early on Monday, May 13, you could have been among those who got to experience the latest tech addition to the Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT). This great opportunity was slated to take attendees through the latest innovation center at GIT, the 17th such site on its campus. The newest one—the Advanced Manufacturing Pilot Facility (AMPF)—is a joint R&D facility between Georgia Tech, Delta Airlines and Boeing. This site is home to cutting-edge technology for digital, additive and hybrid manufacturing; multi-axis machining; robotics; and x-ray non-destructive evaluation. Tour transportation courtesy of Cimteq Ltd.
The GCCF returns, larger than ever! Back for its third staging, the Global Continuous Casting Forum promises to be the most comprehensive yet, with presentations by copper and aluminum industry veterans. A look at the program (see pp. 32-42) should offer plenty of incentive for people who work in these fields to consider attending.
Trouble with staffers? Try ‘employing’ some principles from this workshop The work environment has been called the most crucial factor in employee satisfaction. This seminar takes a look at why work atmosphere is important, how you can recognize the signs that the atmosphere isn’t as good as it should be, and how to fix it! Speaker Ed Krow of Ed Krow LLC, works with executives and business owners who are struggling with people problems. See p. 52.

The word on next gen manufacturing
If you are in the ferrous sector, plan to be there Tuesday, May 14, to hear Leggett & Platt President & CEO Karl Glassman discuss the state of manufacturing. On Wednesday, copper folk can get their sector take from Prysmian Group’s Giacomo Sofia, who heads North American operations, when he talks about future challenges and opportunities.
If you’re not sure what “next generation” covers, you should sit in on the keynote presentation, “The future of wire and cable in a connected world,” by Dr. Shawn DuBravac. The speech, sponsored by Gem Gravure, will be held on Tuesday, May 14. See p. 22.
Fastener event to join WAI in Atlanta

Leggett & Platt’s Sopczak to receive the WAI President’s Award
GCCF outing is at STATS Brewpub: the ultimate socializing location
At Interwire 2019, Kevin Sopczak, vice president of sales, shaped wires & special products at Leggett & Platt, will receive the WAI President’s Award for his extraordinary service and dedication. WAI President W.T. Bigbee said that Sopczak has been a stellar contributor to the Association’s Midwest Chapter. “Kevin, as a volunteer myself, I know that there is nothing easy about doing more outside of work. Organizing, selling, and facilitating golf outings are Sopczak demanding tasks for a group, but for an individual to take on the project, year after year, it is truly special.” Sopczak was a founding member of the chapter in 2001, two years after he joined WAI. He was chapter president in 2007, and has served on its board for 14 years, working alongside Tim Fingeroos, who was chapter president for years. By their efforts, the chapter has flourished. Their hard work has also attracted new volunteers, a good sign for the chapter’s long-term success. Sopczak has long been chairman of the annual golf tournament, a key fundraiser for the scholarship program. He was also part of the group that launched the academic initiative. He will receive his award at the Interwire Conference on Tuesday.
The focus is decidedly on fun and camaraderie at the Global Continuous Casting Forum’s Social Hour that will take place from 7:30 pm to 9 pm on Monday, May 13, at STATS Brewpub, Adidas Room, 300 Marietta St. NW, Atlanta. STATS Brewpub is one of the only bars in the U.S. to feature a beer tap system, on select tables, which allows guests to pour their own beer with no server or bartender. The site also has five bars and almost 16,000 sq ft of restaurant and private event space. It is relaxed and inviting, with 70 high-definition TVs to keep your options endless. There’s not one detail that hasn’t been thought of at STATS Brewpub.
Win a powerful 3D printer! At Interwire, WAI will give away a QIDI TECH 3D printer, a powerful model great for engineering, design and home/hobby use. It can be connected to your computer, smart phone or Wi-Fi in your house. Raffle courtesy of WAI Southeast Chapter and M. Holland. All registered attendees at Interwire get a free ticket to enter. Tickets can be found among your show badges received during registration. Turn in your raffle ticket at the WAI Resource Center (WAI booth), level 3. The winner, who need not be present, will be chosen Wednesday, May 15 at 4 pm during the closing session at the Sonoco Theater. Delivery is included. 14 | SHOW PROGRAM

THE CITY of Atlanta
CITY OF ATLANTA
A different Atlanta experience
The New England Patriots were not the only winners at the Super Bowl The accolades continue to pile up for the city of Atlanta, which was named one of Lonely Planet’s 2017 “Best in the U.S.” destinations. Downtown is home to some of Atlanta’s top tourist attractions: the Georgia Aquarium, the World of Coca-Cola, Centennial Olympic Park, the CNN Center and State Farm Arena. The downtown dining district is emerging as a hot spot for food enthusiasts, with more than 300 restaurants from which to choose. The city has continued to see an expansion of Atlanta’s hotel portfolio, across Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead, but the proverbial icing on the cake was the Feb. 3 staging of Super Bowl LIII at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which was still under construction when Interwire 2017 was held. Per the Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau, hotel occupancy rate was a staggering 96% for the game weekend. The NFL required 20,000 rooms on peak nights. WAI has a block of rooms available at eight well-known hotels close to the GWCC through EventSphere, the only official housing provider for Interwire.
Up for an Atlanta Braves game? If you’re a baseball fan, the Atlanta Braves have three home games with the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday, May 14, Wednesday, May 15, and Thursday, May 16, all at 7:20 pm at SunTrust Field. The park, with some 41,000 seats “is the perfect marriage of classic ballpark feel, modern amenities and southern hospitality, which creates a fan experience unlike any other.” And one of those seats could be yours!

MORDICA Memorial Award
>>> Tuesday, May 14 | 1:00 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. | Sonoco Theater, Exhibition Hall, Booth #100
MORDICA AWARD
Van Raemdonck to present Mordica Lecture: “Trends and Challenges in Steel Wire Technologies” The 2019 winner of the Mordica Memorial Award, Walther Van Raemdonck will present his Mordica Lecture on Tuesday, May 14. Raemdonck Van Raemdonck has been senior process technology manager of wire products at the Technology Center of NV Bekaert SA, Zwevegem, Belgium, since 2013. He joined the company in 1986 and has since been involved in multiple process and product development projects in the rubber reinforcement as well as the wire division. Van Raemdonck has been a member of the Technical Committee of the CET (European Wire Producers Association) since 2002 and chairman of the committee since 2006. A frequent author, he won WAI’s Allan B. Dove Award for the best ferrous technical paper in 2010, 2015 and 2017. He served as an adjunct professor at the Colorado School of Mines. He earned a Ph.D. degree in metal-
lurgy and applied materials science from the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium. “Walther has been, and is, an outstanding member of WAI that truly exemplifies the attributes for which the award memorializes our founding President,” wrote Dr. Bhaskar Yalamanchili, the 2008 Mordica Award winner. “Over some 32 years he presented 12 technical papers for WAI...including three (that won) Allan B. Dove awards for the year’s best paper.” Further, he has been part of and supported research projects with several universities that advanced the industry, and encouraged students, he wrote. Dr. Robert Shemenski, a key author of the WAI’s Ferrous Handbook and the 1999 Mordica Award winner, supported his nomination. “When I worked for Goodyear, Dr. Van Raemdonck was a major contributor of technology for high strength steel tire cord from Bekaert.” He has two steel technology patents (1994) and (2012), served as an adjunct professor at the Colorado School of Mines and has contributed to WAI technical programs. For these and other reasons, “he is indeed a worthy candidate.”

Reichert to receive the Donnellan Memorial Award One nominator wrote that he was pleased to explain why Reichert was deserving. “From the difficult assignment as Finance Committee Chairman to the tedious Reichert and detail‐oriented role on the Conference Planning Committee, Bill adapted and contributed significantly in every role – he made it look easy, and set everyone at ease with his quick wit and keen sense of humor,” said 2016 WAI President Andy Talbot, Mid-South Wire. “He was an inspiring mentor.” Commented 2017 WAI President David Hawker, “The commitment Bill demonstrated to the organization set an example that others have worked to replicate given his personal and professional dedication to the WAI. ... I would like to add my recommendation that he be recognized with the Donnellan Award.”

WELCOME Reception >>> Tuesday, May 15 | 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame
WELCOME RECEPTION
Yes, you will want to go back again — it’s the College Football Hall of Fame In 2015, WAI’s Opening Reception was held at the newly opened College Football Hall of Fame—now called the Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame—which lived up to its billing as a celebrated area attraction, with rave reviews even from attendees who are not gridiron fans. The WAI returns to the iconic site on Tuesday, May 15. The three-story site has 50,000 sq ft of event space. For first-time visitors, it will be an amazing experience, with 50+ engaging and interactive exhibits. A spin has been added so even returnees can have a different experience. If you’re not a football fan, a local comedian, John Floyd, will make an important presentation: How To Laugh A Lot And Stress Not. There’s only room for 150 people in the Game Day Theater, so note that it’s first-come, first-seated. If you are a fan, keep in mind that only 0.02% of college football’s players and coaches are honored by being named to the Hall of Fame. At this venue, you can learn more about the elite few who made the cut.
Sponsors for the reception include: Niehoff Endex North America, Southwire Company LLC, LLFlex, Nexans, SAMPSISTEMI, and Encore Wire Corp. Whatever your status is football-wise, this looks to be a memorable experience.

The program has been prepared by a team of professionals that have spent their careers amassing experience in the aluminum and copper continuous casting sectors. The goal of the forum is to complement the well established conventions and user group meetings with another opportunity for technical exchange. Copper and aluminum are the fundamental building block metals of the nonferrous wire and cable industry and are often interchangeable in use. Despite some similarities there are some significant differences when processing each material, which is why we’ve arranged for both joint and parallel technical tracks at the forum. We greatly appreciate the suppliers represented in this program and those that have offered generous support as sponsors. ORGANIZING COMMITTEE

Use of OEE in Optimization of Maintenance Schedule Dunja Djurovic Batinic and Aleksandar Bukvic, Mika Drive and Automation Services Inc. According to some studies, 50% of all precautionary maintenance is futile. If the maintenance schedule is optimized, it does not only reduce the cost of the maintenance, but also improves the factory throughput. This paper aims to explore the possibilities of using modern mathematical methods for utilizing OEE measurement for achieving the best possible maintenance plan through the use of IIoT. This leads to a maintenance schedule which is dynamically adjusted rather than keeping the standard cyclical schedule.

Modification of Aluminum Alloy Filler to Improve Arc-Welding Performance Shenjia Zhang and Janusz S. Sekunda, General Cable, Prysmian Group Al-Mg alloys are widely used as GMAW and GTAW filler electrode for their high strength and compatibility with a large variety of aluminum grades. Compared to 4000-series filler alloys, Al-Mg alloys have less favorable welding characteristics such as spatter, fume, arc stability and puddle fluidity due to their high magnesium content. Low levels of alloying elements were added to AA5356 and these modified chemistries welding performance were assessed in GMAW and compared to the unmodified alloy. The modified alloys have shown significantly lower spatter, higher arc stability and better puddle fluidity than the baseline alloy. The improved welding performance is likely due to the effect of the alloy addition on metal transfer and surface tension. 1:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m., Room A403
Development of New HighPerformance Aluminum Conductors Produced by Continuous Casting Nhon Q. Vo, Francisco Flores, and David C. Dunand, NanoAl LLC; and Janusz S. Sekunda and Shenjia Zhang, General Cable, Prysmian Group This paper presents a micro-alloying approach to develop new high-performance aluminum alloys to achieve an improved and optimized combination of strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal stability. The micro-additions create nanoscale strengthening precipitates which are distinct from the traditional strengthening phases, such as β-Mg2Si and Al3Fe, and have a much higher thermal stability and coarsening resistance. This study demonstrates this micro-alloying modification concept in 1000-, 6000-, and 8000-series aluminum conductor alloys and discusses their mass-production scalability by the continuous casting process. 2:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m., Room A403

Installation of Flux Feeder Device (FFD) at Lapointe Works Eric Pilote, STAS Inc. Québec-based Lapointe Works (Prysmian Group) and STAS share a long history of collaboration. Twenty-five years ago, STAS provided the rod producer with one of its first Aluminum Compact Degassers (ACD) to process molten aluminum with the use of chlorine. Flux injection trials were performed on it to validate metallurgical performance (hydrogen, alkali, and inclusions) vs. the use of chlorine gas and to confirm the cable produced has the same quality specifications. This paper presents an overview of the metallurgical performance achieved while addressing the positive impact this approach may have on aluminum rod production.

Inline and Offline Concepts for FRHC Copper Rod
CASTING FORUM
Hans-Jörg Krassnig, PolyMet Solutions GmbH; and Rolf Degel and Timm Lux, SMS Group GmbH FRHC copper is either cast directly from the fire refining furnace into products using inline solutions or via offline solutions using FRHC ingots or blocks as cathode substitutes. This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of both variants and the different furnace concepts used. Further, it shows a new TBRC fire refining concept, which allows a reduction in natural gas consumption of up to 40% for FRHC copper. 9:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m., Room A411
The Effect of Flame Intensity on the Shaft Melting of Copper John Hugens, Hugens Metallurgy and Combustion The intensity of shaft furnace burner flames influences melting performance in many ways. Actual results contrast with handbook predictions of performance in terms of furnace thermal efficiency and product metallurgy.
Filtration via strainers or reticulated foam have been incorporated in many applications to achieve improvements in copper quality. Due to the low quality improvement or strainers and foam reticulates pore size restriction, many applications have been left without a path forward. This presentation explores the development of 3-D filters and their use in copper production. The flexibility and repeatability of a 3-D structure with the oxide removal of a reticulated foam has the potential to offer the best of both worlds in copper filtration.

Mechanics of Wiredrawing
Lubrication in the Wiredrawing Process
This course presents fundamental engineering principles and process calculations that are used to design, analyze, and improve metal rod and wiredrawing operations. Topics include a basic overview of wiredrawing mechanics with respect to material behavior and process parameters. Die angle and reduction are addressed in light of the Delta-parameter and its practical application. Drawing limits, friction and lubrication, work-piece heating, and temperature effects are also discussed.
Wiredrawing requires lubrication between the wire reduction system and the wire surface to successfully perform the deformation process. The selection and type of lubricant used must consider various factors in order to achieve optimal quality, efficiency, production costs, and EH&S concerns. Understanding the material type, surface preparation, processing, and end use application is critical in the determination of lubricant selection. Knowledge of lubrication principles, lubrication systems, and operational mechanics form the basis for lubricant selection.

The Effect of Bearing Length on the Surface Quality of Drawn Wire Joakim Larsson, Lars Pejryd and Patrik Karlsson, Ă–rebro University In wiredrawing, the geometry of drawing dies influences the performance of the wire process. This study investigates the effect of bearing lengths on the surface quality of the drawn wire. Wiredrawing tests were done using an industrial wiredrawing machine utilizing drawing dies with different bearing lengths. The influence of bearing length on surface quality are discussed.
Walther Van Raemdonck
Amit Agarwal and Satish Kadu, Tata Steel A metallurgical investigation of weld failure was done to identify the defect and arrive at the source of defect generation. Spark generation at the annealing jaws produces a hard spot near the HAZ (heat affected zone) which is quenched rapidly and produces a hard phase resulting in a button-shaped defect after drawing. The results indicate that measures of weld joint preparation and weld annealing procedure plays a key role in avoiding the defect and associated wire failure. 2:20 p.m. - 2:40 p.m. Sonoco Theater, Exhibition Hall
2:00 p.m. - 2:20 p.m. Sonoco Theater, Exhibition Hall

TECHNICAL PROGRAM
Global industry trends are well known, reflected in demands for innovation and innovation speed, cost reduction, digitalization, automation, reduced energy consumption and environmental protection. These matter to Bekaert. This paper highlights some of the developments and challenges that exist in wire deformation and coatings, such as higher strength and sound ductility of high-carbon wires, improved corrosion resistance, and endurance. It also discusses more novel approaches, like smart machinery for more robust processing, newly developed test techniques, and challenges to comply with fast-changing regulations.
HCl acid pickling is widely used for steel wire rod due to advantages like lower cost along with faster and complete cleaning before subsequent drawing. Optimizing the pickling operation for higher productivity and lower WPL generation are major challenges for the wire industry. Existing methods used to identify pickling time are time-consuming and experienced based. This paper explores the possibility of using the OCP technique for determining wire rod pickling time. 2:40 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Sonoco Theater, Exhibition Hall
Wiredrawing Lubricant Dust Reduction Mike Bowen, Pascal Cossu and Brad Andrews, Condat Corporation Steel wiredrawing normally uses soap powder lubricants. This type of lubricant poses a major problem: dust. Its origin is not only due to the chemistry of the lubricant but often linked to its improper use or use in unsuitable conditions. Different dust generation factors are addressed along with solutions to significantly reduce the problem and methods that improve working conditions and limit the fire risk while reducing the global cost of using this type of lubricant. 3:00 p.m. - 3:20 p.m. Sonoco Theater, Exhibition Hall

Why Buy New Equipment – If Existing Machines Are Still Running (and Are Written Off)?
Effect of Al Content on the Mechanical Properties of Alternately Cold-Drawn Magnesium Alloy Wires
Bernd Lohmüller, Maschinenfabrik Niehoff GmbH & Co.
Kazunari Yoshida and Vladimir Stefanov Hristov, Tokai University
With the latest advances in technology in the wire and cable industry, is the cable manufacturer able to justify the purchase of new equipment? This presentation explains advances in wire processing technology and their benefits compared to existing (old) machinery. It discusses whether savings in energy, labor, and material, coupled with quality improvements, can justify the investment in new and modern technology. Focusing on wiredrawing and double-twist stranding, it presents ROI calculations for real production examples in the wire industry.
For the purpose of this research, six different magnesium alloy wires were cold drawn using conventional and alternate drawing methods. After reaching the drawing limit, the drawn wires were tested and a reciprocal connection between the aluminium content in the wire, the drawing limit and the increase in tensile strength of the wire was established. The results were summarized and the effectiveness of the method for the different magnesium alloys was established.
CLOSING Session TECHNICAL PROGRAM
4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Sonoco Theater, Exhibition Hall
The Champion’s Code: Building Relationships Through Life Lessons of Integrity and Accountability from the Sports World to the Business World This program by best-selling author Ross Bernstein, who helps companies and organizations think and act more like champions, is based on more than six years of research that resulted in two critically acclaimed series of sports-business books. The first examines how and why certain teams win world championships, while the other chronicles the unwritten and unspoken rules in the world of sports, or “codes” as they are known, which explores the fine line between cheating and gamesmanship—and the consequences involved when that line is crossed. Bernstein interviewed more than 1,000 professional athletes and coaches for his six books and along the way he saw some fascinating patterns, metrics, and trends develop among certain individuals who possessed a very unique DNA. For these individuals, or “champions,” it wasn’t always about winning, it was about following their moral compass in order to play the game the right way—with respect and integrity—in order to achieve success. In his presentation, Bernstein identifies upwards of 100 unique characteristics and traits that are common among champions, which he then ties into poignant life lessons and inspirational stories that relate back to industry. He and his books have been featured on thousands of television and radio programs over the past 20 years, including CNN, MSNBC, CBS This Morning, FOX News, ESPN, NPR, and the CBC, as well as in The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, L.A. Times, USA Today and Maxim magazine.

Drawing of High-Strength Aluminium Alloy Wire by Using a Cryogenic Wiredrawing Method Chihiro Takuma, Kazunari Yoshida and Trisna Ardi Wiradinata, Tokai University In this research, three different aluminium alloy wires were drawn to their drawing limit by using conventional drawing and cryogenic wiredrawing, and the changes in the mechanical properties of the wires were examined. By using cryogenic wire, higher-strength wires were attained and better surface, due to the use of lubricant in this process, was achieved. The effectiveness of this method was confirmed. 2:00 p.m. - 2:20 p.m. Sonoco Theater, Exhibition Hall
Improving the Technological Plasticity of Material in Dieless Drawing Processes
TECHNICAL PROGRAM
Andrij Milenin and Piotr Kustra, AGH University of Science and Technology, and Tsuyoshi Furushima, Tokyo Metropolitan University This paper explores a method for increasing technological plasticity of material in the dieless drawing process.
The proposed method is based on the implementation of a multi-pass process. The authors have theoretically and experimentally investigated two dieless drawing processes. The difference was related to the heating systems, induction heating and laser heating. FEM simulations and experimental tests were performed for two materials, magnesium alloy and pure copper. It was shown that the more effective increase in plasticity can be achieved using laser dieless drawing. 2:20 p.m. - 2:40 p.m. Sonoco Theater, Exhibition Hall
Production of Zn-Mg Wire for Biomedical Application Andrij Milenin and Piotr Kustra, AGH University of Science and Technology This paper deals with the problem of obtaining wire from zinc alloys in order to obtain dissolved surgical threads. Three types of materials were analyzed – pure zinc, zinc with the addition of 1% magnesium, and bimetallic wire based on zinc and magnesium. A workpiece for the drawing process (diameter 2 mm) is obtained using an extrusion process. The wiredrawing is performed at room temperature up to diameters of 1.0 and 0.3 mm. Mechanical tests, including relaxation tests, were performed on the obtained wire.

PRODUCTION Solutions
>>> Wednesday, May 15 | Sonoco Theater, Exhibition Hall, Booth #100
Problems with your cleaning house? And what is causing those !@# wire breaks? These may not be fun topics, but if you have “issues” with either of these, it would be wise to attend the Production Solutions session on Wednesday, May 15, at the Sonoco Theater on the Show Floor.
11:00 a.m. – 11:20 a.m. Sonoco Theater, Exhibition Hall
Ways to Determine Root Causes of Issues Blamed on the Cleaning House Doug Grover and Jack McAfee, Chemetall US.
Activity at a 2017 Productions Solutions presentation by Paramount Die. 10:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. Sonoco Theater, Exhibition Hall
Factors Affecting Wire Production From Precoats to Lubricants
Everyone talks about running an operation perfectly, but where do you start looking when an issue arises? This presentation briefly covers identifying the root cause of issues that can develop from a cleaning house. It also discusses determining if the source really is the cleaning house or if it is possibly from processes that come before or after that step in the production cycle. In some cases, simple tests can be run on site to help point you in the right direction. An example would be: “is that red hue on the rod surface coming from copper plating or hematite scale?” Questions and discussion are welcome (encouraged!) during the presentation.
PRODUCTION SOLUTIONS
Dave Gzesh, Blachford Co. There are many issues in the production of wire and many factors affecting high-quality wire production even after cleaning. These include selection and maintenance of the non-reactive precoats and lubricants, followed by identifying key drawbench parts/systems that have immediate impact on the lubricant performance. Many of these parts require minor fixes that minimize downtime. Everything working together improves wire quality and production efficiency.
10:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Sonoco Theater, Exhibition Hall

FIRST-TIME Exhibitor DexMat, Inc./USA Description: DexMat, a Texas-based company founded in 2015, focuses on carbon nanotube (CNT) processing technology. DexMat does not make CNTs, but produces CNT fibers and tapes for use in cables where weight is a key factor. The company has applied for patents to protect its know-how. Here, DexMat CEO Alberto Goenaga explains what his R&D team has achieved. Contact: DexMat CEO Alberto Goenaga, alberto@dexmat.com WJI: Why are you a first time Interwire exhibitor? Goenaga: Interwire is an opportunity to showcase our CNT-based products: fibers and tapes. Our products are lightweight, flexible and conductive, so the wiring and cable industry is a key target market for us. We understand that many people are skeptical about CNT products, so this event is an opportunity for us to demonstrate that we are real and try to win some of them over. WJI: What type(s) of innovation will you present? Goenaga: DexMat CNT tape is our featured innovation. We have cable performance data, collected by independent third parties, that indicates that DexMat CNT tape

matches the performance of metal braids (EMI shielding and insertion loss) in coaxial cables, while providing resistance to flex fatigue and a 50% DexMat CEO Alberto Goenaga. reduction in the total weight of the cable. For the aeronautic and satellite fields, that is a major advantage. WJI: Why should attendees want to stop by your booth? Goenaga: Two reasons. The first is to see our proof that this is a real world solution, not just theoretical. We have a compelling story to tell, and we present it in a short video (under three minutes) that you can watch at our booth. The video is easy to follow yet, I believe, it is most effective in explaining the benefits. The second reason is sound business. Early adopters of new technologies have the opportunity to create and dominate new markets. Attendees should want to stop by our booth, out of curiosity and fear of missing out. They have nothing to lose and much to gain.

PRODUCT Showcase Preheater ends fear of wire ‘hot and cold’ flashes Attendees are most welcome to stop by and see the latest Beta LaserMike preheaters from NDC Technologies, that provide uniform, in-process wire heating to eliminate insulation voids in primary cables. When a wire is preheated for only fractions of a second by a low frequency (50/60 Hz) heat cycle, the heat is unevenly applied to the wire, resulting in hot and cold spots. Beta LaserMike preheaters solve this problem by using high-frequency preheating that applies the optimum heat cycles to the wire as it passes through the preheater. This ensures a linear and consistent heating along the length of the wire, regardless of speed, to meet your unique temperature requirements. A full range of preheater models are offered to meet your unique wire preheating needs. The line of preheaters can be equipped with the new TempTrac Pro non-contact temperature measurement system for high-accuracy monitoring and control of preheat temperatures. The TempTrac Pro Sensor enables you to measure the preheat temperature of your wire and cable with the highest accuracy. It can measure wire diame-
ters from 0.28 to 2.80 mm. The TempTrac Pro Controller closes the loop to improve process efficiency and product quality while minimizing waste. It can be provided as a standalone system or can be integrated with the Beta The Beta LaserMike/NDC LaserMike Preheater TempTrac Pro Preheater. system. The Beta LaserMike line of measurement and control products are designed to increase productivity, improve product quality and reduce manufacturing costs. Every system is backed by NDC’s world-class service and support organization. With offices around the globe, NDC is committed to serving the unique measurement application needs of customers.

PRODUCT Showcase Wardwell: 2 new braiders offer advanced features Wardwell Braiding Co., which again is co-exhibiting at Interwire with SKET and Spirka, will present two pieces of braiding equipment that each offer noteworthy advances that help manufacturers meet new industry requirements. The Speedmaster 150, equipped for braiding super fine wire, includes seven features that would have been considered optional several years ago. Today’s cables are smaller in diameter, more prone to elongation and deliver higher electrical performance. The added features – Sound Enclosure, Variable Speed Drive, HMI, Automatic Lubrication, Empty Bobbin Detector, Longitudinal Taping Unit and Core Run-out Sensor – make it easier to
program and control the shielding process and reduce defects. In keeping up with smaller reel sizes and cable tension control requirements, the Speedmaster is equipped with a (W6-355) wind-up mechanism with a driven shaft and rolling ring traverse. The second machine, a B10-24 Maypole style braiding machine, has an independently-driven capstan in lieu of change gears to vary the pitch. It will also be equipped with a driven wind-up mechanism for reels up to 14 in. flange diameter, which is rarely used on Maypole style units. The two features make the B10 the ideal test machine by combining versatility and low cost.

WJI: Why should attendees want to stop by your booth? Spadaccia: They should want to know how our SpyroCor additive manufacturing and 3D ceramic printing can be used to achieve previously impossible levels of thermal efficiency in immersion heater furnaces. By transferring more heat from the burner to the metal, galvanizers can achieve faster and more consistent melting, and push their furnace to produce more wire. They can also count on energy savings thanks to improved burner efficiency.

PRODUCT Showcase Cemanco: dancers for the ‘finest’ in tension control Germany’s Supertek, represented in the Americas by Cemanco LC, will introduce two new electro-magnetic dancers that provide precise tension control that enable maximum winding speeds for fine and extremely fine products. The EDR 10 model offers an extremely fine tension control range while the EDL model offers the same precision for the fine to medium tension control range. For both uses, the dancers offer essential precision tension control. The EDR-10 can be adjusted from a tension force range from 0.2 grams to 100 grams while the model EDL-60 covers from 10 grams to 600 grams, electronically adjustable in 0.1 grams increments. Tension force control, dancer control and RPM regulation for the drive motor are part of the fully automatic operation. This technology is vital for spooling spider silk, sensitive fibers and very thin wires, including pure copper wire with a diameter as small as of 8µm (microns). The dancer force remains precise and constant, independent of the dancer arm position for payoff, take-up and/or respool operations.
The model can also be used to retrofit existing machines. It can also further product optimization in annealing of wire, a challenging process, controlled digitally in real time by systems such as an HMI, SPS, Touch-Panel, PC or Tablet.

PRODUCT Showcase Sikora trifecta: 3 products for ensuring high-quality Sikora will highlight its high-speed X-RAY 8000 ADVANCED model, an X-ray based system tailored to the demands of MV, HV and EHV cable production. It is an advanced alternative to the successful and established X-RAY 8000 NXT. The system measures the diameter, wall thickness and eccentricity of cables in CV lines up to 10 times faster than the NXT model for efficient process control. Those characteristics are of immense importance as operators of CV lines—where the X-RAY 8000 ADVANCED/NXT is installed— produce high-quality cables used for demanding applications, and it is vital that they provide unlimited reliability. The X-RAY 8100 ADVANCED/ NXT is recommended for measuring
wall thickness, concentricity, diameter and ovality of high voltage cables in an MDCV line. Sikora’s CENTERVIEW 8000 is another in-line system for non-contact, eight-point-eccentricity, four-axis-diameter and eight-point-ovality measurement of coax cables of LAN, automotive and installation cables. Integrated in an extrusion line, it ensures that the end product meets the required parameters for the highest quality and efficiency. A further attraction will be the PURITY SCANNER for on-line inspection and sorting of plastic pellets used for insulation of MV, HV and EHV cables. The system, to be shown for the first time at Interwire, is an automated off-line

INTERWIRE PREVIEW
PRODUCT Showcase WST preheater from Zumbach is hot stuff under control Germany’s Zumbach will display the company’s latest WST model, the Tempmaster 3010 Series Line Frequency Wire Preheater. These have been widely used by the wire industry since 1950. Today, they are sophisticated, yet durable, combining proven principles with modern technology, engineered to generate products with a remarkable price/ performance ratio, justifying our customer’s investment year after year. The microprocessor-controlled production tool heats the conductor precisely to the desired temperature level, fast and efficiently. It takes wire preheating to the next level by measuring the ambient temperature and tracking the line speed to accurately preheat the wire to the desired temperature, even during ramping.
Product recipes provide customizable material settings to ensure the preheater operates with the correct parameters and optimized power setting: just set the desired temperature, target line speed, and conductor material, and the preheater does the rest. The closed-loop circuit monitors the actual loop voltage to calculate and display the predicted wire temperature. The microprocessor continuously monitors performance and alerts the operator if the preheat temperature cannot be met. A modular design allows the VISU touch display and operator station to be placed remotely at a convenient location. The model easily interfaces to the LUNE series of Convective Heat
Flow (CHF) sensors for closed-loop temperature control. These innovative sensors quickly measure the wire temperature independent of emission, structure, color, reflection, speed, or size. The measurement is repeatable and significantly more precise than tactile methods.

PRODUCT Showcase Why Rosendahl focuses on silicone At Interwire, attendees are welcome to visit Rosendahl Nextrom to see why the company has placed such a heavy R&D focus on silicone. In recent years, silicone has been used especially in the automotive sector, but now it is being found in more and more applications. That has led to its having a major R&D role. Rosendahl developed the first silicone extrusion line with infrared curing four years ago. Since then, several new lines have been installed worldwide and some existing lines were able to be expanded by updates. The special matching extruders, crossheads and curing tunnels make effective and reproducible results from one provider possible.

We appreciate your taking the time away from your busy schedule to attend IFME, and we believe that you’ll find your visit to be a valuable and productive experience. IFME is a “breed apart” from other fastener industry events that typically focus on finished products for distributors, resellers and end-users. IFME is a manufacturing show—for manufacturers and their suppliers. Whether you’re looking for the latest machinery, tooling, materials, components, controls, accessories, supplies and manufacturing support services, you’ll find the resources you need from the worldclass suppliers to the international fastener and precision formed parts industry that are exhibiting at IFME. IFME salutes the manufacturing renaissance that is taking place across North America by featuring a New Product/Technology Showcase where participating companies will present a look at some of the latest advances that are shaping both current and next-generation fastener technology. This no-cost educational opportunity is located right on the exhibit floor. Be sure to take advantage of IFME’s co-location with Interwire—the largest and longest running wire and cable show in North America. Interwire features more than 400 exhibitors. The affinity and synergy associated with manufacturing wire, cable, fasteners and precision formed parts provides additional learning and business opportunities for attendees. Your badge entitles you to admission to both shows. We urge you to save this directory after you leave the show as it is likely to be an invaluable resource for locating suppliers of products, equipment and services that you’ll use throughout the year—and beyond. If you have any questions about the show—or if you’re a supplier interested in exhibiting at our next event, stop by and see us in the IFMSA Booth (2308). Again, thank you for attending IFME and—enjoy the show!
Sincerely,
IFME
