Klöckner decided to use the Rasacheck
measuring module because of the necessity
for master inspection plans, including given
frequencies of sample measuring. Without
this, every piece would need to be taken
out of the process and manually checked
on a measuring bench.

AddisonMckee range
Global tube bending and end-forming
technology providers, AddisonMckee, have
extended their product range to include
the renowned Sanderson series of tube
perforators. The models will be branded as
AddisonMckee TubePerforators™.
As part of the development process
of AddisonMckee Sanderson Tube
Perforating Machines, special focus was
placed on tool change efficiency, with
complete tool change possible in less
than 15 minutes. Meeting or exceeding
exceptionally stringent industry standards,
all models feature easy set-up and
programming.
Available in 75mm (3") and 150mm (6")
solutions, the TubePerforator models
offer a range of features. These include
axes servo-controlled for simple prototype
design and quantity production, parts easily
designed via a user-friendly HMI system,
and simple commands for custom design
and placement of perforations.
They also provide an on-screen status bar
showing the amount of material removed,
percentage flow and percentage of cross
section removed. With a unique, fast-cycle
rolling action for effortlessly punching 64
holes per revolution, they provide readily
available consumable punches.
Mr Christian Rogiers, AddisonMckee’s
director of global marketing, commented,
“The result of some six years of intensive
research and development, Sanderson
Tube Perforators provide a significant
leap forward in technology and represent
the next generation in tube perforating
procedures.”
