Emission technology for bolt head defect detection

Brankamp has based its new rotator monitoring system on ultra-emission technology to detect transfer failures and avoid their costly consequences.

In bolt production, correct transfer orientation into the last forming station is critical, especially when producing hexagon bolts at high speed.

Any part rotation will cause a failure, forming so-called ‘ears’ or ‘wings’ on the bolt. Ultra-emission technology uses powerful sensors and software to detect a fault within the production process – generating double force curves for detection and process limits. These double curves form dynamic ‘envelopes’, with the inner envelopes serving as intervention thresholds and the outer envelopes serving as process limits.

If the cold forming process exceeds these limits, the bolt machine will immediately shut down. This combination of control, safety and tool protection results in optimal machine productivity and a drastic reduction in downstream costs from defective bolt production.
