Laser technology allows
the wire to be gauged just after the die or before the coiling,
during the drawing process. Indeed, only by using laser light
it has become possible to design diameter gauges which are insensitive
to wire vibration and movement, featuring in addition the extremely
high precision which is necessary to check very narrow tolerance
limits.
By detecting increasing
wire diameter or excessive ovality, the laser gauge constantly
monitors the wearing condition of the die. When the wire diameter
exceeds the preset tolerance limits, the machine can be immediately
stopped. The measured data is recorded and processed to print
complete statistical reports for each spool. In addition, the
gauges can be linked to an external computer to allow remote
system programming and data downloading for further analisys
and storage. Several system configurations are offered, to fit
both wet or dry drawing machines, single or multiple line, processing
ferrous or non-ferrous wire.
Due to the 100% inspection
it is possible to achieve zero-defect production and to certify
the wire quality. By avoiding drawing out-of-spec wire and by
optimizing the utilization cycle of the dies, significant savings
in material costs can be obtained. Finally the on-line monitoring
results in saving labour costs and improving the automation
of the drawing process.
Having been established
in the Wire Industry for a long time, Aeroel has extensive experience
and specific know-how and is now in the position of offering
a wide range of gauging systems. All of which are effective
on both wet or dry drawing machines and for a number of different
types of wire. In each case the favourable cost/benefits ratio
always guarantees a quick investment pay back.
The unrivalled excellence of the gauges, all of
them with crossed laser beams, and their long operational life
enhance the benefits and make them last for the years to come.
The Aeroel measuring systems are available with
accessories to guarantee suitable shielding and dust resistance;
all of which have been proved to be ideally suited for on-line
operation, often in heavy duty environments, succeeding where
other equipment has failed.
Being one of the few European Companies working
in this area, Aeroel ensures qualified technical service and
products which comply with the high quality and safety standards
set by the European Union.
