Division between faulty and correct products

PS Costruzioni Meccaniche Srl has launched an improved double-head fully automatic spool winding line with faster restart time between the wound and the next spool. While the second spooling head is winding, the first head has completed the winding cycle and the spool is moved to the palletising area. This machine can accommodate 200 cardboard, aluminium, plastic or wooden spools in two stores. The spools range from a flange outer diameter of 100mm (3.94 " ) up to 200mm (7.88 " ) and flange width from 50mm (1.97 " ) up to 190mm (7.49 " ).

The machine can produce 4 x 100m spools of 100 metres per minute. The cable sections can vary from 0.65 up to 6.53mm 2 (AWG from 19 up to 9). The wire guide comes with CNC digital technology, and special CNC software helps to obtain perfect winding results. On request, an in-line cable diameter detector can be included. It can correct any cable diameter modification in real time. PS Costruzioni Meccaniche Srl – Italy Fax : +39 03968 98769 Email : ps@pscostruzioni.com Website : www.pscostruzioni.com

The PS 200/6/B process specifications are as follows: Bore centring to start the winding operation • Cable layer on layer winding • Cable measuring accuracy ±0.1% • Spark tester cable insulation tests • Fast, pneumatic cable cutting • End product packaging by polyethylene film •

Adaptive die match technology

Originally developed for aerospace applications involving titanium and highly special alloys this system allows a higher degree of material displacement, thereby enabling forming processes that cannot be achieved without heating and greatly extending the possibilities of the flat die rolling process.

requiring the assistance of an operator. Standard process monitoring takes place simultaneously. ADM is only available on EW Menn machines in combination with Brankamp process control systems. EW Menn is also active in the field of special applications, such as the warm rolling system that allows heating of the blanks just before feeding them into the rolling dies.

Precision, stable processes and early and effective failure detection are key factors for productivity. With this in mind, EW Menn, in partnership with Brankamp, has combined EW Menn’s push button die match with Brankamp’s process monitoring expertise to create ADM. ADM stands for adaptive die match and describes a system that electronically measures and evaluates die match and corrects it automatically while the machine is running, without interrupting production and without
