THE MAC ® EDGE

Next step towards the ‘intelligent drawing machine’

The vibration measurement is available both integrated in new plants and as a retrofit kit for used Bültmann drawing machines

ANOTHER innovative feature in the field of applied Industry 4.0 in drawing machines was recently successfully integrated into several Bültmann machines. The vibration measurement, which is able to detect a “chatter” or vibrations individually at each drawing track of a drawing machine, is available both integrated in new plants and as a retrofit kit for used Bültmann drawing machines. The intelligent control of the vibration measurement enables speed control of the drawing process while avoiding vibrations. The quality of the drawn tubes is 100 per cent ensured with a simultaneous increase in output. A real application example demonstrates a 60 per cent increase in production with a simultaneous reduction in scrap towards zero. In combinationwith the already known Industry 4.0 features, this is a further step towards an operator-independent, process-safe and performance-oriented drawing machine. The monitoring system, which is based on proven sensor technology with evaluation, was developed for this application together with our very capable partner Qass GmbH in Wetter, Germany and can also be tailored for various other potential applications.
