AIR WIPE - AWM 51 SINGLE MOUNT AIR WIPES-AWM 51 DIMENSIONS AIR WIPES - AWM 51 IN PAIRS

RUBY Air Wipe AWM 51, an advanced version of the Ruby Air Wipe AWM 5, is dedicated to wiping bare metallic wires of:
Ø 0.025 to Ø 2.30 mm

While retaining the merits of its predecessor, especially its compact size, Ruby Air Wipe AWM 51 offers 3 unique features:

A Vortex air stream that maximizes the wiping efficiency
A replaceable wiping cylinder multiplies its versatility
Integrated features enabling swift joining into pairs

The Vortex           Please see Vortex Illustrated.

Seven (7) Replaceable Wiping Cylinders in Tungsten Carbide make it possible for one AMW 51 to service the full spectrum of wires from Ø 0.025 to Ø 2.40 mm without the need for extra air wipes. The mirror finished bore of the Tungsten Carbide wiping cylinders permit close fitting of the wire into the cylinder, that is, the narrowest gap possible, which is crucial to the ultra-high air velocity in the wiping cylinder.

Choice of Centering Guides

Centering guide located at the wire exit end of the air wipe keeps the wire at the center of the wiping cylinder to assure an even distribution of the air stream and as such, it should have a bore diameter smaller then that of the wiping cylinder. Fifteen (15) centering guides are available for air wipe AWM 51 as described in Part Number Description. Since it is in constant contact with the wire, the majority of AWM 51 centering guides are made of Ruby or Sapphire. Hence the name: Ruby Air Wipe.

AWM 51 in Pair

Air wipe AWM 51 can be arranged in pairs to double or even triple the wiping capacity using the integrated joining feature. All you need to do is install a wiping cylinder dedicated to the joining function, which assures a quick, self-aligned integration of the dual air wipes.
