WIRELINE
is a Laser Measuring System which has been specially designed
to be used on-line in the Wire Industry, to monitor the finished
diameter and the ovality of drawn wire.
WIRELINE uses a dual axis laser gauge to
measure the diameter and the ovality of any kind of wire during the drawing process, such
as:
steel wire for tyres
copper wire for electric cables,
CO2 welding wire.
It provides reliable gauging of diameters
from 0.04 to 32 mm: display resolution of 0.1 µm and accuracy better than 0.5 µm can be
achieved.
It checks the wire tolerance and stops the
drawing machine when die wearing exceeds the pre-set limit.
It counts the metres of wire being drawn
Effective statistical reports are processed
and printed for each spool.
Several Systems can be linked together and
connected to one Computer, to manage all process information.

in Steel Wire Industry
No scrap: the real time inspection allows drawing
of heavy reels of high-carbon steel wire, without any risk of rejects or complaints.
Labour cost savings: the task of machine
operating staff will be made lighter, as the traditional samplings at the end of each
spool will be no longer needed.
Process automation: it will be possible to use
machines with automatic change of collection-reels or systems to coil spools up to a
pre-set weight.
More competitive products: the dual axis gauge
allows accurate inspection of the cross-sectional area of the wire, in spite of its random
orientation. Product quality will be improved when the performance of the wire depends
upon its cross-section area (i.e. tensile strength, electrical conductivity, etc.)
Quality Certification: the real time data
collection makes it possible to assess and record Product Quality and Process Capability.
WIRELINE really works on-line: fitting the gauge
on wet or dry drawing machines, it has proved to be successful where many other equipments
have failed.
It is really insensitive to wire vibration: just
try it!
Complete Measuring Systems: a wide range of
accessories and shields guarantees suitable application and excellent dust endurance.
Excellent resistence to dust: over than 30 day of
uninterrupted operation are guaranteed on dry drawing benches even in most critical
applications.
Permanent self-calibration:
measuring accuracy is guaranteed over time and periodical re-mastering is no longer
required.
Competitive price: the favourable cost/benefits
ratio ensures short pay back time and makes affordable large scale installation.
Spool-by-spool statistics: an
input signal closes the statistical report at the end of each spool.
Ready for networking: a lot of Systems can be connected to a PC through an Ethernet line.
3 years guarantee: the high standards of components and the solid state laser source
warrant long operational life.
Know-how and service: Aeroel provides qualified
and efficient technical service, thanks to their experience in applying laser technology
in the Wire Industry.
Made in Europe: WIRELINE complies with the high
quality and safety standards set by the European Union.
