GM100 - Geometric inline profile testing

Inside the machine, four high-precision line sensors and two fibre-optic micrometers are installed around the running wire. At full production speed, all geometric features such as wire width, wire thickness, radius quality and parallelism are measured and checked with tight tolerances up to ±0.01 mm. 

Different wire types can be set on the GM100 control unit. In addition, it is possible to perform single measurements when setting up the rolling mill, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual laboratory testing and thus enabling the wire dimension to be changed quickly.

The detected geometry errors are visualised on the screen of the measuring unit and the analysis data is then forwarded to optimize the production process. In addition, it is ensured that the wire is produced within the tolerances. The evaluation can be stored in the customer database for documentation purposes.

Inline wire testing can drastically reduce set-up times and rejects, thereby significantly increasing production capacity. 

您的优势:

• Measuring system for various applications:
  Geometry measurement, angularity
  Profile measurement
  Thickness and width measurement
  Contour control (radius, angle, shape)
  Early detection of roller wear

• Optimising production:
  Analysing the data can be used to eliminate the causes of manufacturing errors.

• Reduction of rejects and set-up times:
  The defective wires can be sorted out before expensive downstream processes and detected at an early stage. This increases productivity and the value of the recycled material.

• Set-up time minimisation:
  Long free-running processes with laboratory measurements can be recorded directly on the system at the touch of a button.
