Latest preheater from Zumbach

The microprocessor continuously monitors performance and alerts the operator if the preheat temperature cannot be met. A modular design allows the VISU touch display and operator station to be placed remotely. Zumbach – Switzerland Website : www.zumbach.com

preheater does the rest. The closed-loop circuit monitors the actual loop voltage to calculate and display the predicted wire temperature. A variable frequency power section optimises inductor performance and allows for a compact solution for smaller size ranges and compact extrusion lines.

ZUMBACH has launched its latest WST model, the Tempmaster WST 2006FV series line frequency wire preheater. Better product quality, improved productivity and faster line speeds are some of the benefits a Zumbach WST preheater offers for wire extrusion lines. The microprocessor-controlled prod- uction tool heats the conductor precisely to the desired temperature level, quickly and efficiently. It measures the ambient temperature and tracks the line speed to accurately preheat the wire to the desired temperature, even during ramping. Product recipes provide custom- isable material settings to ensure the preheater operates with the correct parameters and optimised power setting: the operator sets the desired temperature, target line speed and conductor material, and the
