The Brankamp X-series from Marposs SpA presents a range of devices for in-process monitoring of cold and hot forming, thread rolling and stamping operations.
Process monitoring has come a long way from mere overload detection with maximum force limits, to much more refined monitoring algorithms with ever improving performance. Increasing complexity and the trend towards lightweight construction result in higher deformation levels required for cold forged parts. Process integrated monitoring methods offer an effective way of detecting quality defects such as cracks in head or flange sections, fractures in tool elements and turned or mis-introduced parts. Detecting these leads to a 100% workpiece quality control.(…)
