Fully automated crosshead for hose applications

摘要

Davis-Standard LLC has introduced the Model 4000AG fully automated crosshead for elastomer hose applications, designed to provide closed-loop, stepper-driven automatic control of tube concentricity and wall thickness in a hands-free, low-maintenance package. The crosshead's fixed die eliminates the need to loosen or tighten bolts for fine-tuning. For concentricity adjustment, operators use a joystick instead of manual wrenches. Wall thickness modifications are stepper-driven, eliminating the need for hand tools and thickness measuring devices.
