Increased reliability and ensured quality 30 April 2019

EVIRT ITALIA has introduced the EVIRT ITALIA PLANAR® series which it says closes the loop between the die centre line positioning axis and the rotary die positioning axes. The series offers many user-friendly benefits, which not only cut job set-up time but also offer extended rolling processes and control features for high-levels of quality and tool life savings.

The SMART ROLLING MACHINES® with built-in safety features are the answer for cutting long-term costs, improving production quality and increasing flexibility among operators by fully automating and minimising the manual guesswork, as well as the chance of costly set-up errors – what used to be hours set-up time has been reduced to less than five minutes.

The automatic spindles’ inclination makes the machine’s set-up automatic and absolutely independent from the operators’ skills. Performed by servomotors and locked by hydraulic devices, the Smart Rolling Feature makes the spindles’ inclination process easy, instantaneous (inclination performed in less than two seconds) and highly repetitive, warranting a positioning precision lower than 0.01 degrees.

The EVIRT ITALIA laser-based auto-pitching system is also able to automatically measure and calculate the most suitable dies’ rolling positions. Lasting only two minutes of optical analysis, the patented system does not require any operators’ skill or material waste.

The device allows a simple and intuitive definition of the work-rest highness, making the two die rolling machine as easy and flexible as the three die ones. Hydraulically actuate and controlled through a proportional valve, it permits to define the workpiece’s rest highness in a fully automatic mode with 0.01mm positioning tolerance.

“Watching Factory 4.0 concepts, the EVIRT ITALIA HMI has been designed to automatically define all the working parameters. Based on over 50 years of rolling experience, the operating interface allows an intuitive and easy machine’s set-up according to a mistake proofing method.”
