wire® stand flash: 15.H56

Marposs is exhibiting its extensive product line of technical measurement and testing solutions for cold forming at this year’s wire® Düsseldorf.

Marposs’ main focal point will be the FactoryNET 4.0 software suite that functions as a powerful interface between machine, operator, production and resource planning, and higher-level ERP systems. Unlike other data acquisition systems, FactoryNET 4.0 enables end-to-end documentation of the processes, which results from interconnecting directly with process monitoring.

The innovative Brankamp X-series has been upgraded on the process monitoring systems. The X9 makes it possible to capture several machines with one process monitoring system. A large screen and a modified user interface are available for the display, which visualises the current status of other machines and makes switching the display to other machines possible.

With another new development, now even systems without process monitoring like automatic sorters, washers, hardening furnaces, or packaging machines, can be included in the data acquisition and integrated in the FactoryNET 4.0 information loop as a result. The T1 terminal can be connected to the FactoryNET 4.0 by network interface. and the respective orders and quantities are downloaded to the terminal. Stop codes are entered and on reaching the order quantity the system is stopped.

In addition to the Brankamp in-process monitoring systems, Marposs is also presenting at wire® the Optoflash – an exceptionally fast optical measurement system that takes 100 static component measurements in two seconds. Marposs states that the Optoflash is the first optical measurement system in the world that can measure components up to 300mm long at this accuracy using fixed 2D image sensors. From multiple cascaded cameras, the sectional views of the workpiece measured are fit together for an overall view without breaks or gaps.
