Digital Issue 03/2024

The new issue of WIRE focuses in particular on spring production. We report on the requirements of e-mobility with wire diameters from 22mm to 30mm through to the production of micro springs in the 0.05mm range. Companies also explain new spring wire materials and spring coiling machines. WIRE will also be presenting the new CNC transfer bending machine ‘BQ 10’, which Wafios presented for the first time at ‘wire 2024’. We also report on a new lubricant for cold forming in the section ‘From the world of research’ .
