EXHIBITION PREVIEW | NPE 2024

The machine can inspect the peaks and valleys – plus the transition areas in between – with high precision. The measuring head has eight high-performance cameras that capture the entire surface structure. It is designed for the inspection of up to 30mm diameter corrugated and spiral tubes.
iPC is a downsized series
designed for complete 360° inspec- tion of profiles of up to 250mm. Introduc- tory models equipped with four cameras can be scaled up to six or eight cameras later on. It is available for field-of-view diameters of 90, 170 and 250mm as standard. The 250 mm system is particu- larly suitable for large profiles and multiple extru- sion lines. Profiles made on double-strand extrusion lines can be inspected with the software that can capture both surface and geometrical defects around the entire profile circumference. ProfilControl 7 DX WPC provides dimen- sion measurement and surface inspection of WPC decking boards. As well as measuring the outside profile contour, it checks the quality of critical features including

implementation of the robot system. An IP67 rating allows use in harsh environments. Note: Yaskawa manufactures other robotic systems for larger capacity needs. ACT-26 systems are equipped with sensors and monitoring devices to ensure consistent quality during the coiling process. Data monitoring and analysis capabilities allows manufacturers to track production metrics, identify areas for improvement, and optimise overall process efficiency over time. ❯

Reel Power Industrial has introduced its ACT-26 – a new automatic cut and transfer system for coiling and spooling up to 1000 feet/min. Offering high tension control
and precision military winding, the systems are flexible with specific application customi- zation. The ACT-26 can accommodate different coil sizes and configurations to meet diverse production needs. “It offers reduced labour
costs, increased productivity,

refrigerant, a ‘low GWP’ refrigerant that meets new environmental regulations. It is also classified as non-toxic and non-flammable, similar to the R-134A and R-410A it replaces. The units use an air- cooled system and have many features included as standard such as an audio/visual alarm. The new GPL chillers are available in 1-, 2- and 3-tonne cooling capacities. In addition, its new LHE central chiller offers two
refrigerant options – R-410A or R-454B. The LHE continues to offer the central chiller key benefits of high efficiency and modular expandability and is available in 20-60 tonne cooling sizes. Sterling will also introduce its TS-5 controller with a 5in touch- screen that allows for easy TCU control by machine operators. The controller is available with the TC130/TC131 series. The TS-5 includes USB data logging, standard ethernet, and many communications options. Plus, OPC UA / Euromap 82.1 capabilities are included as standard now in the new TS-5.
