Three new crimping machines in the service line

hose crimping with dies-holder, manual pump as well as millimetre label showing the reached crimping diameter. Tubomatic H26 E has the same characteristics in terms of functions and usage as the Tubomatic H26 PM. The only difference is that it is equipped with a manual pump separate from the machine.

OP has announced three new crimping machines. They are light, inexpensive, easy to move and described as the perfect equipment for easy on-site service. The machines – Tubomatic H26 PM, Tubomatic H26 E and Tubomatic H64 PM – guarantee an even more precise and efficient service. The Tubomatic H64 PM is a machine that crimps hydraulic hoses up to 1 1 / 2 " two braids.

It is versatile and able to be used for on-site service in many different locations. It is provided with a manual pump separate from the machine and an electric limit switch indicating when the crimping diameter is reached. Tubomatic H26 PM is designed for crimping hydraulic hoses up to 3 / 8 " two braids. It is suitable for several applications and in particular for outdoor service. The technical specifications, which make this machine unique, are

Quality assurance during sheet extrusion THE Planowave 6000 is a non-contact measuring system that is used for the non-destructive measurement of thickness during the extrusion of plastic sheets. The system is designed line directly or used for final inspection. The sheet is measured via millimetre waves based on the FMCW runtime method. A linear moving transceiver continuously sends and receives

frequency modulated millimetre waves. The thickness of the sheet is defined by the runtime difference. Visualisation of the measuring values is made in real time. The processor system Ecocontrol offers a numeric display of the measuring values as well as a graphic display and comprehensive trend and statistical data. The Planowave 6000 contributes to the reproducibility of processes as well as high quality and productivity during sheet extrusion.

for the measurement of all plastic materials, such as PE, HDPE, PP, PA6 and PVC. Innovative millimetre wave tech- nology offers a precise measure- ment of the thickness without any coupling mediums and independent of material and temperature of the plastic sheet. Calibration is not necessary. The Planowave 6000 can either be integrated into the production
