Cold Forming

Don't lose your head.!

In the manufacture of small parts using cross-cutting or cold heading machines, high scrap rates often result from defective starting material. Testing the initial material and cutting out the defective sections of wire only leads to multiple short coils that increase changeover times and production costs for the parts manufacturer. Instead, the solution is to inspect the wire immediately before it is cut into small parts. Defective or unfinished parts are then automatically sorted as scrap and are not processed further. Thus, excessive costs of pre-tested initial material can be avoided.

Setup Example

The heading wire is passed through a standard magnetizing unit with standard encircling coil. The specialty feature in our EDDYCHEK 5 Tester is the option for (STOP & GO), based on which we can count the machine cycles = movement of one piece and following a piece of damaged wire through the forming machine. When the damaged part has just reached the outlet of the machine, the sorting mechanism is triggered to eject the part out, which is always the main intention of a customer. The forming machines must have a provision to eject parts automatically into a scrap bucket. The testing process is fully supported by full sorting, documentation and networking capabilities.
