Enkotec A/S
Booth 570
At Enkotec’s booth, staff will be ready
to present news from the area of
high-performance machinery for nail
production. The company’s product range
includes various complementary machines
supplied as standalone units or in ENKOline
in-line systems.
This year Enkotec will launch an upgrade
of the complete ENKOnail+ high-capacity
nail machine series. The upgrade includes
many advantages, including: disco variator
replaced by robust and maintenance-free
servomotor drive; more user-friendly
software; improved system for insertion
timing with easy and quick adjustment;
larger eight-groove feed rollers with
improved lifetime; pedal for manual drive of
machine; exhaust air connections allowing
efficient evacuation of dust; improved
cooling of machine due to powerful
extraction of air; electrical cabinet rubber
damping supports to reduce vibration; and
a box for nibs inside the machine.
Enkotec nail machines are based on a
rotary forming principle, allowing wire
feeding, wire cutting and head forming
to take place in one continuous process
of rotating movements, and offering the
possibility of unmanned production.
The company claims that the
output-per-minute rate of the ENKOnail+
series is the highest in the market, without
affecting the production stability. The
dimension range is as wide as ø1.8-4.2mm
(0.071" to 0.165") x nail lengths 32-130mm
(1¼" to 51/8"). The machines incorporate
a compact, space-saving design and a
user-friendly PLC control system with touch
screen operator interface, which is easy
to navigate and allows quick setup of nail
parameters.
Tooling changeovers and maintenance
routines are easy to carry out owing to the
user-friendly open-door machine design. At
the same time, Enkotec’s machine concept
allows the implementation of an environ-
ment-friendly production with a low noise
level, small energy consumption and an
oil-free manufacturing process, eliminating
the need for subsequent nail tumbling.
