COST SAVING SOLUTIONS FOR THE PA HOSE PRODUCTION
Automatic just-in-time production of pneumatic and breaking system PA hoses
Thanks to the Metzner PA hose production systems, various pneumatic and brake hoses can be automatically cut to length, printed and coiled or deposited as required on a just-in-time basis. Despite the desire for the greatest possible standardization, manufacturers of trucks, buses, coaches, construction machinery and agricultural vehicles have to work with a large number of pneumatic components. This is where the Metzner PA system helps considerably.
In the first step, the machine automatically cuts the hoses to the required length. Material changes are carried out automatically according to the programming. An integrated printer and/or marker can then print or label the tubes as required. And finally, they are coiled and, if required, tied. An operator is not required for the entire process.
Saving money, saving time, saving space, saving material costs and increase quality
The advantages are obvious: lower production costs, maximum repeat accuracy, faster handling and also lower material costs, as the hoses can all be in the same color. After all, they are identified by their print or label and not by their color.
Naturally, the system can be adapted to individual requirements. This applies to printing and depositing as well as to the number of material changes and the size and speed of the system. The example below gives you a first impression of what is possible.
