Ernst Koch, a manufacturer of wire
drawing machines, showed its highly
developed line of machines in modular
design in Düsseldorf in April.
Koch’s position as a system supplier
is underlined by its new corporate
design. Its motto is ‘wire machinery for
the challenges of tomorrow’, and the
company is aiming at offering system
solutions that overcome future market
challenges.
The company’s machine line consists of
the KGT series multiple drawing machine,
as well as modules for pre-processing
wire, and a drawing coiler to take up the
wire. This system produces low carbon
(0.12% C) fencing and nail wire on a
compact five-block machine.
It can produce finished diameters of
between 2.36 and 4.67mm at production
speeds of up to 22m/s. In addition to the
drawing machine, a grinding descaler
and the Koch drawing winder ensure
high-quality wire which is permanently
reproducible in its quality. A modular
design allows users to build up the system
to suit whatever requirements they might
have.
Koch also presented a modern system
for visualising machine processes and
an intuitive user interface, one of its
own new developments. This system
provides users with a comprehensive
display and evaluation of all production
and quality data, including a graphical
indication of energy consumption and
production output. Animated error
messages draw attention to faults
and what might be done to rectify
them. Maintenance intervals are also
displayed automatically.
