The heating element length measurement unit is an advanced solution designed to precisely measure the length of electric heating elements as they leave the rolling mill. It delivers real-time feedback, allowing operators to quickly verify whether each element meets the required length specifications.
This unit can be seamlessly integrated into any type of rolling mill. Installed at the exit point, it can also be linked with our automatic unloading system, helping to simplify the diameter reduction process and greatly improve overall operational efficiency.
The concrete advantages that make the difference
The wheel encoder ensures accurate measurement of electric heating element lengths as they exit the rolling mill.
The system compares the measured length with a predefined range (minimum and maximum) and immediately signal conformity (“OK” green light) or non-conformity (“KO” red light).
The identification of non-conforming heating elements minimizes the creation of defective parts and material waste.
The PLC touch-screen offers an intuitive interface for easily setting and modifying the desired length range parameters.
Versatile and easily adoptable solution for existing production lines.
The potential connection with automatic unloading device accelerates the entire workflow.
The axial marking system uses interchangeable characters, enabling the marking of key identification data such as voltage (V) and power (W) values. After exiting the roll reduction mill, the heating elementgoes through two non-motorized rolls: the first carries the marking characters, and the second serves as a counter-roller to ensure precise pressure and clear, accurate marking.
Practicality is a key feature: the character-bearing roll is quickly removable, simplifying changeovers. Both rolls are equipped with a micrometric adjustment system, allowing precise positioning according to the tube diameter, ensuring consistent, high-quality marking every time.
