T echnology U pdate Automatic handling LOECO produces equipment for the automatic handling of tubes through the pickling and galvanising process. Serving customers for almost 40 years, the company has installed new lines, and modernised and upgraded existing lines, while constantly improving the technology.

Aluminium extrusion ZHEJIANG KimKing Aluminum Product Co Ltd, China, is an aluminium extrusion and finished aluminium product factory, with an annual production of 12,000t. The company has two 10t aluminium melting furnaces, eight 500-2,000t extrusion production lines, two anodising production lines and one electrostatic powder coating production line. They can provide aluminium casting rods, aluminium extrusion profiles and aluminium products that are widely used in fields such as rail transportation, elevators, vehicles and radiators.

for workers’ safety and longer hall and crane life; and immediate blowing after extracting for better coating thickness control. Loeco helps customers optimise efficiency. The products’ finish will be uniform, to the standards required and by using minimal resources. Environmental aspects are accommodated by complete fume suction and cleaning as well as recycling of the pickling media. Loeco’s latest 6" pipe galvanising line is in production in Brazil, and another in Guatemala, where structural goods can also be handled.

The Loeco Advanced Automation Pipe Pickling and Galvanizing Line ensures a uniform even coating. Single pipe pickling is more effective than bundle pickling, and acid consumption is only half that of bundle pickling. Other benefits of the system include shorter pickling time; no black spots or bending; fewer defaults due to consistent pre-treatment; no human faults through automation; total control of first-in-first-out galvanising process for equal products; fume-free housing

High-precision diameter control in cold processes for heavy environments



Typical processes where the system offers new solutions are peeling, grinding, polishing, straightening as well as in quality control lines (NDT). The dimensional data for diameter, ovality etc can be fed out directly to the user’s network or also displayed in real time for the operator by USYS processors and also for feedback to the machine. Complete accessories like secondary protection enclosures, cooling devices, air purging, air knives, etc are available for heavy- duty environments.

ZUMBACH Electronic, Switzerland has extended its well-known range of ODAC ® laser scanners for non-contact inline diameter measurement for large size solutions. With the ODAC 550 it is now possible to measure also large steel bars, tubes, rolls, etc up to 500mm or more at accuracies of a few metric microns and rates of up to 2,000 measurements/s. Any other material like titanium, brass, alloys, plastic works as well. This was made possible by the development of a revolutionary optical scanning technique with a highly parallel and seamless measuring field (no dead zone!). This technology also allows mounting emitter and receiver far apart from each other, depending on the available space conditions.
