Due to the overwhelming success and as a further step towards harmonization, Monforts has now launched this 'child play' machine operation tool for all its continuous dyeing ranges (Thermex) and Sanfor compressive shrinking ranges (Monfortex), as well as for all coating units (texCoat).

A set of LED lights, located on the dash, monitor air filter, engine, hydraulic system and operator presence system allowing for reliable and efficient machine operation. Boasting the shortest turning radius in the industry with optional rear steer capabilities, this machine is well-equipped to get the job done.

Conforming to MTConnect connectivity and standards, FlowConnex provides waterjet machining and production status with a dashboard that displays information on machine operation and machine productivity.

These new machines have Butters AMT's traditional MIG machine bases with 'soft arc' technology but add innovative control electronics, a user-friendly touch-pad and a digital display to simplify machine operation. The AMT 271 Auto is ideally suited to light to medium industrial applications (including automotive), can weld up to 12mm and requires a single-phase 230V supply and a 25A fuse.

The system operates at floor level, eliminating the need for overhead platforms and allowing personnel to monitor machine operation while performing other tasks.

"Many of the parts we produce have very tight process parameters, and we are focused on achieving consistent machine operation to allow us to manufacture at optimum efficiency," said Treiber.

An industrial computer running Windows is interfaced with an Allen-Bradley programmable controller for machine operation and control.

From machine operation to tele-maintenance (option), information is now clearly available to operators and maintenance engineers.

The MHD guarantees a precise fit between the leveling plate and the base, eliminating horizontal sway and improving machine operation. Features include: shock absorbing rubber soles which reduce vibration by up to 80 percent, a nitrile rubber sole which prevents creeping and walking, and screw on installation.

The innovative technology and process solutions guarantee total control of the material tensioning during the entire machine operation. The process is additionally part of a patented modular frame, which allows flexibility and fast upgrades.
