Plastic cutting machine PA-Professional 6 Series

for hosesmarkingfor the automotive industry

Working with leading manufacturers in the truck and commercial vehicle sector, Metzner have developed automatic converting lines to process truck brake pipes which provide enormous benefits to the users. The tubes, with diameters of between 4mm and 16mm, are drawn by the Metzner machine from a coil, cut to exactly the right length and printed to the customer’s specification (ink jet or laser printing, thermal transfer printing or with adhesive labels) and then stacked, bundled or wound. At the end of a material roll, the machine gives an optical signal and a message on the display. The operator can then load another material roll to continue the automatic production without interruption. Depending on the number of pipes per vehicle, a Metzner converting line of this type produces brake pipes for 50 to 100 vehicles per shift and the machinery is fully integrated into the customer’s computer-aided manufacturing system. The data sets for the production are transferred from a central computer to the converting line, which then sends back the necessary status information. Key Features • Cutting of PA hoses with high speed and precision • Automated processing of up to twelve different tube diameters • Printing and marking with ink jet printers, laser printers, thermal transfer printers and ribbons • Automatic material removal and bundling
