Providing information on technology available for connecting real-time manufacturing data and accessing the statistics for real-time costs as well as preventative and predictive maintenance. Also, making participants aware of the options available for Manufacturing Execution Systems that are tailored to the wire, cable and wire rope industries which means an out of the box solution while fulfilling all the pain points necessary. Key features such as traceability, scheduling, quality control, inventory control and logistics are all available.
This presentation describes PVDF resin and how, via its many grades and properties, it is able to be used in various cable jacket designs
The presentation will explain Continuous Gravimetric Blending and how it differs from other better know or widely used systems. It also explains why integration makes sense in generally and particularly with Continuous Gravimetric Blending application instead of settling for basic stand-alone installation solutions.
Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) has been a long-proven method for accurately measuring the length and speed of products. Many applications involving the production of long, continuous cylindrical products – cord, rods and wire – pose measurement challenges. Products that cannot be well-guided, move off-axis and out of the measurement range make it difficult for traditional LDV-based gauges to keep the laser on the product’s surface. This results in hard-to-obtain, unreliable measurements. This presentation highlights a new patent-pending, breakthrough technology that accurately, reliably measures these type of products.
Learn how computer vision technology has improved in recent years resulting in numerous applications in many fields. Some of the characteristics of the technology are particularly well suited for the wire and cable industry. The new tools offer opportunities for plant modernization and more technology-driven operations. The general technology, trends in other manufacturing verticals, and some of the unique opportunities these tools offer for the wire and cable industry will be presented.
Whether it’s extended downtime, contamination, increased scrap rate, or unplanned screw pulls, even the most seasoned processors deal with difficulties that impact their output and hurt profitability. Learn five actionable steps to reduce scrap and downtime. See how purging compounds can positively impact your process, and help you address and avoid the causes of difficulty.
EPR (ethylene propylene rubber) moisture crosslinkable compounds allow manufacturers to process rubber based, thermoset materials without investing in expensive curing processes (i.e., continuous vulcanization lines or electron beams). The versatility, flexibility and processability of these compounds has accelerated their use in various wire and cable applications. This presentation provides a brief overview of moisture cure technology, and highlights the applications, benefits, and challenges of moisture crosslinkable EPR based systems.
This webinar offers a glimpse at the lubrication requirements in nonferrous wire drawing and how to formulate to meet those requirements.
Inspirational Filmmaker Brett Culp talks briefly about how we as individuals should work on celebrating the small victories everyday. This is a recorded keynote for the July 15th WAI Streamcast.
