At first, one of customers told they repaired the hand operated (manual) valve, but it doesn’t work.
We thought it was broken, and said we could send a new one to replace it. Later they said they need to replace that manual valve with electric valve and do automation. They added electric valve, but it didn’t work. Oh, we understood.
In China market, many customers also choose electric valve. It doesn’t work if they only change valve and they also need to change all the wires in the electric cabinet. With electric valve, Ring Rolling Machine produce smaller rings with high speed, but roundness is not good. Generally customers match with sizing machine with ring rolling, they don’t care the roundness of rings after ring rolling and use sizing machine for the roundness of rings to increase speed.
If you also have the same requirement, you can change it according to the above solution.
Further more, D51Y-16oE can match with automatic unloading device and conveyor. For bigger type Ring Rolling, that can match with Robot to unload the ring forgings.
As per the above suggestion, you can save manual works, but it is not really automatic line, because the Ring Rolling Machine don’t have whole PLC system and touch screen, that can’t produce with high precision or save program function, you need to buy D51K series Automatic Ring Rolling Machine if you want to realize real automation.
