Smart Temp - Preheater
Smart Temp range of wire preheaters makes your extrusion process faster and easier, improving product quality and productivity. They provide uniform, in-process wire heating to eliminate insulation voids in primary cables.
Overview
Low-frequency heat cycles apply heat unevenly to the wire, resulting in hot and cold spots in the insulation material. Smart Temp uses high-frequency preheating that applies the optimum heat cycles to the wire. This ensures consistent heating along the length of the wire, regardless of speed. Smart Temp is designed to minimize power losses, using all the input power to heat the wire and meet the unique temperature requirements of your process. With Smart Temp, you can store up to 50 material types, automatically adjusting the voltage to the wire based on the type of material selected. Smart Temp also offers a wide range of dry contact and analog inputs and outputs.
Features & Benefits
- Multi-Directional Line Heating - Smart Temp can be used for production lines that go left to right, or right to left.
- Latest Inverter Technology - Communicates with the main processor to provide diagnostic information.
- Automatic Range Selection - Automatically maximizes the power that can be delivered to your wire product.
- Easy Touch-Screen Operation - The large 10-inch, touch-screen display makes setup and control easier than ever before.
- High Safety - Wire break detection provided as a standard. The sliding door locks electronically to conceal the wire path for safety.
- Optional Out-Going Wire Temperature Measurement - An external measurement head can be added to the system for out-going wire temperature monitoring.
