Reducing material waste – Smart control system

Achieves reduction in material loss in the extrusion process of electric wires and other materials.
+ Simple operation that does not depend on the operator's experience level

Previous challenges

In recent years, with the soaring cost of materials, reducing waste has become a critical issue.
Until now, in the extrusion process of electric wires and the like, the outer diameter did not stabilize until a steady linear velocity was reached.
A significant amount of product loss (i.e., material loss) was occurring.

Furthermore, product quality depends on the worker's experience, and during operation, one line
It was a situation where at least one worker had to be present at all times.

The SCS (Screen Control System) startup outer diameter control system ensures that the product remains of good quality even until it reaches a steady linear velocity by controlling the outer diameter from the startup stage.

The outer diameter measuring instrument is highly resistant to external disturbances such as heat, smoke, dust, and ambient light, and can perform stable measurements even in environments such as directly beneath the extrusion site.
Because it's fully automated, the process can be left entirely to the machine, successfully eliminating the need for constant human supervision.
It doesn't depend on the operator's experience level; even beginners can use it.
