CNC cutting machine / hose / laser / automatic

for reliable process automation of silicone tubes

With a customiser-specific special machine for the processing of silicone hoses, Metzner offers a fully automated solution: ranging from the safe and material-saving prefeed of the elastic hoses and cutting to length through to spooling, labelling and stacking.

All hoses are cut to a total length of 2000 mm. A special laser knife procedure allows the machine to guarantee high length accuracy - even at high feed rates.

For further processing in production, the cut tubes are coiled into a bundle. This is done directly in the machine. A barcode label which contains all relevant production information is then applied to all the silicone hoses for the purpose of identification and quality control. This is automatically scanned and stored in the IT system after application to the coil of hoses. This permits continuous production monitoring and allocation.

Metzner gripper systems then remove the coiled and labelled bundle of hoses and place it on a conveyor belt which automatically transports the hoses away for further processing.
