LBF CONTINUOUS EXTRUSION LINE
FOR ALUMINUM SHEATH
The Continuous Aluminum Extrusion Line is fed by Φ9.5mm or
12.0mm aluminum rod, after rod surface cleaning, to extrude
and form aluminum tube around the cable core. Max outer diam-
eter of cable after aluminum sheathing is 180mm. The aluminum
tube sheathing process is continuous, seamless, energy saving &
environmentally friendly. The Continuous Aluminum Extrusion line
has the properties outlined below:
• The aluminum tube after extruding is seamless, smooth in circle
shape, uniform material and without any cracks, compared to metal
taping and forming lines.
• Compared to a hydraulic extruding line, the line doesn’t require any
pre-heating resulting in low energy consumption. When the machine
is restarted, the extruding die needs to be heated for 7 hours.
• Low investment, affordable spare parts and low operating costs.
• Double extruding wheels with double groove, short flow pass and
low inner pressure. The tube wall thickness is uniform.
• The line is also able to make aluminum profile.
• The compact design is easier to operate.
The new technology is ground breaking and world leading, and has
received an award from the China Machinery Industry Federation.
companies from the sheet
metal-processing sector the
opportunity to try out a servo press
from the latest generation for
themselves.
The Servo TechCenter Tianjin is
Schuler’s first demonstration centre
across all of Asia and forms a key part
of the company’s strategy, to be ranked
among the leading providers in China,
as the largest press market in the
world, in all the key price-performance
sectors.
Schuler’s customers can perform their
own stamping and die tests on the
TwinServo press, for example. “We
support our customers in optimising
their productivity and therefore
becoming even more successful,” said
chief operating officer Dr Peter Jost, at
the innovation day.
“Our first TechCenter in China has not
only put our technological leading
position to the test, but also underlines
the significance of the Chinese market
for Schuler’s future growth.”
Schuler has been operating in China
with a number of sites since the early
1990s and just a few months ago
acquired the Chinese press
manufacturer Yadon, in the middle
price-performance segment.
“This country has enormous potential
for us,” added China chief executive
officer Oemer Akyazici. “With the
products from Yadon under our belt,
we are now optimally positioned to
cover further market segments.”
Around 140 visitors were lucky enough
to see the new press in action at the
Servo TechCenter and listen to
presentations – for example on
TwinServo technology, with which the
1,600-ton system is equipped – as well
as view the comprehensive range of
services from Schuler in Tianjin.
In addition to Tianjin, Schuler offers
customer-specific consulting services
at the German sites in Göppingen,
Erfurt, Gemmingen and Heßdorf as well
as at the US TechCenter.
