Proclad Induction Bending has invested in excess of £50,000 in a custom designed intelligent Data Recording system to provide clients with detailed quality information throughout the production process.
The Proclad Intelli-Bend System continually measures and records the critical manufacturing essential variables of Feed, Speed, Temperature (Intrados and Extrados), Air Pressure, Water Pressure and Power used and presents them on a computerised dashboard for reporting as part of their quality assurance programme.
With quality being of paramount importance in the induction bending process and the need to collect critical data at every step of the way, Proclad’s sophisticated computerised system delivers the superior level of service expected by its blue chip clients.
The investment comes on the back of investing in an additional 30” machine to provide additional capacity and supporting the company’s unrivalled capability and capacity from 2” to 42”.
Proclad Induction Bending’s General Manager, Archie Skinner, said “The Intelli-Bend System provides real time information throughout the production process and allows us to demonstrate and document our market leading quality.”
He continued, “Our unique ability to provide the turnkey package from material supply to mechanical testing and final delivery of the finished component is now supported from start to finish with full documentation to support the quality procedures.”
