ASMAG GmbH has announced that it has further developed its’
Continuous Rotary Extrusion (CRE) technology to stay ahead of
the ever-increasing demands of the global market. Having listened
to application demands and worked with its customers to meet
their expectations, ASMAG has successfully delivered ASCON CRE
equipment for the production of copper busbars and profiles, and
has further extended the equipment capability to surpass current
market requirements. Copper product sizes that can be produced
by the range of equipment have been increased, and the width to
thickness (aspect) ratio is now almost 30, that means close to double
the industry standard. In addition, ASMAG has developed a number
of lines specifically for the production of aluminium products, such
as solid profiles and sectors, precision round and multi-void tubes,
all of which are proving to be growth applications for the company.
ASCON CRE technology has also been instrumental in the extrusion
of new complex products using aluminium and copper.
The ASCON range of CRE equipment has been developed with a
design emphasis on high quality, precision engineered equipment
using in-house manufacturing capability, also encompassing
excellent user experience to ensure that the equipment is both
easy to operate and maintain. With cost of ownership and
productivity as the primary drivers in production businesses
around the globe, extrusion wheel changes can be completed in
under 30 minutes. This advancement alone considerably improves
on the current industry standard of 2 to 8 hours, significantly
increasing potential yield and production capability. ASMAG now
offers 3 standard CRE machines in its ASCON range; the ASCON-3,
ASCON-4 and ASCON-5, all of which meet relevant international
standards and can be bespoke designed to meet customer defined
application requirements. Contrary to the general trend full design,
manufacture, assembly and pre-shipment testing is undertaken
at the company’s purpose built facilities at its headquarters in
Scharnstein, Austria.
ASCON CRE equipment is utilised
in the wire, cable, tube and busbar
markets.
