Industry: Ship Building

 System Type: TAK - HD Servo

Application Description: A manufacture of water distribution systems for commerical building and shipping industries needed a fast, accurate and length versatile system to straighten & cut the .250"  diameter aluminum alloy hinge rods for their various sized control boxes up to 40" wide..

System Function: A standard series PFC ( programmable feed & cut ) servo driven system with a 6 wheel drive, AB controls, and TAK operating software was used as the basis of the system. A Spectral brand series 3200 payoff was used to control wire feed in. The system was able to straighten and cut the 40" lengths at a rate of 20 ppm and provide a burr fee end which eliminated the need to chamfer the rod.

Industry: Wire

 System Type:  SF2 Series Servo

Application Description: A manufacture of tungsten wire had the requirement of supplying cut to length pieces rather than whole spools of material. The end customer did not want any of the pieces to have any dimensionalerrors or internal voids.

System Function: A standard SF2 series PFC ( programmable feed & cut ) dual axis servo driven system with, G&L controls, and TAK operating software was used as the basis of the system. The wire was fed through both a laser micrometer and eddy current device to check for out of spec values. Any defective sections were "tracked" through the system and cut pieces made from out of spec material were directed to a seperate location thus "sorting" good product from bad. The system utilized the advanced software and control package.

Industry: Automotive
