Mandrel Bend Monitor
Process Variation Monitor for Mandrel Bend Applications
Dynamic in-process monitoring – monitor bend cycles for process variation to protect equipment.
Retrofit to existing machines or integrate on new equipment.
Meeting Industry Demand for Objective Monitoring:
• In-process monitoring for quality assurance
• Mandrel fault detection
Key Features:
- In-process monitoring of each bend on 100% of parts
- Stand alone monitor – easy to retrofit on existing equipment
- Monitor machine cycle to capture mandrel bend process variance
- Upper and lower programmable limits
- Two failure mode outputs (Warning and Fault)
- Ease of set-up and operation
- Menu-driven navigation on Touch Screen Interface
- Automatic calculation of tolerance limits
- Password protection
- Assignable levels of authority and control
- BendView™ Companion Software
- Production logging for reporting and traceability
-
Real-time data capture
Capabilities:
- Detection of excessive tension on mandrel rod indicating process variation that may lead to mandrel failure
- Loss of lubrication
- Galling of mandrel
- Tubing imperfections
- Wiper die wear
- Mandrel or wiper die misalignment
- Detection of a drop in tension on mandrel rod indicating process variation that may lead to product quality issues
- Tool wear
- Loss of mandrel ball
- Machinery out of adjustment
-
Interruption of process to help prevent catastrophic damage to the machine and isolate defective product
PVM2000-MB Mandrel Bend Monitor provides:
- In-process monitoring on 100% of bends for detection of process variance leading to equipment damage
- Continuous process feedback – to help improve efficiency
- Lubrication issues, wiper wear or adjustment, tool wear monitoring, set-up verification, alert to galled mandrel, etc.
- Early detection of damaged or broken mandrel balls/links
- Alert to excessive tension to help prevent damage to equipment
- Alert to reduced pull force indicating worn or damaged tooling or degrading process
- No interference or contribution to downtime in making repairs
- Reduced scrap value = increased revenues
- Reduced defects + improved quality = customer confidence
- Operator friendly – simple to follow operator interface
- Easy to install and integrate
- Maintenance free after installation
