Technologically advanced thanks to the use of prime selected components and innovative design solutions, the TRI draw benches are fully PLC controlled for both working phases and safety protection. The speed of the traction is adjustable and the use of the bench is extremely simple by using a joystick placed on the control panel which allows the operator to easily manage all the steps of the process. Violi also offers a line of chain draw benches, the TR series, designed for the processing of bars and tubes with a maximum diameter of 12mm.

simultaneously, users can reduce costly errors and downtime. The system can also be used for quick and error-free adjustment of printer settings during product changeovers. Printers located in hard-to-access areas on the production line are easier to monitor and control. The CCS is now a standard feature of all CS/WP series printers; machines which have already been installed with this function can be updated with the latest software.
