Our straightening and measuring control The straightening computer is the brain of our automatic straightening machines and therefore of crucial importance for the performance of these systems. Even the standard configuration of our RICOS straightening control is impressive. MAE systems have a sophisticated computer architecture with separate processors for the straightening sequence and the visualization, as well as a field bus connection between machine and PLC. With the large-surface TFT touchscreen display and the Windows user interface, you can enjoy optimal operating convenience working with our straightening machines. The software: RICOS highlights - Vector straightening – avoid cracks You want your workpiece to be bent through only at the measuring points? With highly sensitive workpieces, this can already lead to cracks. RICOS reduces the crack rate: By moving the straightening hammer axially or rotating the workpiece stepwise. Thus, RICOS uses a variety of straightening positions along the workpiece. - Compensation for wear on the centre tips (ZSK) Run-out caused by the centre tips that actively grip into the centring wholes of the workpiece? Not with RICOS. The control system uses a patented process (ZSK) to detect and largly compensate for these errors with two reference probes on the centre tips. - Varius: the variable straightening strategy Varius stands for the variable straightening strategy with universal stress profile. This increases performance and accuracy even further. Varius reacts optimally to all existing deviations.
