Intercept 2.5 spacer fabrication system rendering
1. Flanged coil covers

spacer material coil covers

The flanged coil covers come standard on every Intercept 2.5 dual uncoiler. The flanged design prevents tight-loop conditions that can be caused by worn and nicked covers.

2. Linear bearing loop control

Intercept 2.5 linear bearing loop control

Laser measuring and a target on a linear bearing give precise feedback with no missed reads, even at full speed. Note the laser dot on the block and the laser readout as the loop moves.

3. Material sensing and display

Intercept 2.5 sensor bank

This sensor bank identifies the material in the machine and passes that information to the color-coded light above and other portions of the machine, such as the quick-change dies.

4. Quick change dies

Intercept 2.5 quick change dies

The redesigned dies allow for a one-time setup of the dies, and then the machine automatically switches between die sets based on the material composition.

5. PLC

Intercept 2.5 PLC control

Full PLC readout and controls at each station simplify setup and adjustments. Operators and leads can check machine settings at any time and adjust when needed

6. Pneumatic Brakes

pneumatic brakes locked

The pneumatic brakes are controlled with the click of a button at the PLC readout stations. No more manual braking, which greatly simplifies setup and adjustments.

7. Hi-speed electronic crimper

high speed spacer crimper

The redesigned crimper shortens the reaction time so you can run full speed without missing the corner.

8. Integrated E-stop circuit

machine e-stop

Now with the integrated E-stops, all of them light up when one is activated, but the activated E-stop flashes to identify the location that needs reset.

9. Location of main enclosure (Not Pictured)

machine control enclosure

The relocated main enclosure is such a simple change with a big impact. Now the main controls are right where all the action is to eliminate all that wasted walking.
