Tekno-Detaljer AB provides state of the art spring coilers with heat treatment and various post manufacturing control methods under the name COLOMBI. We also provide spring separators and spring feeders with integrated spring separation. Altogether Tekno-Detaljer offers a complete range of in-line spring producing and spring handling solutions for reliable spring feeding as well as a complete range of spring separators for manual assembly stations.
Spring Testing
COLOMBI offers a wide range of testing and control options designed to insure that the manufactured springs meet the required specifications. This is done by measuring each and every spring directly after it has been manufactured. The results are then used to sort out any springs that for some reason are outside the set tolerances, as well as send information back to the coiler to increase or decrease certain parameters.
All post manufacturing options except for the Diameter Check unit are placed in the Orbit.
COLOMBI Length Control
The Length Control option measures the free length of each spring and sorts out the springs that are found to be too long or too short.
COLOMBI Load Control
The load Control unit effectively measures the load of each spring. The spring is compressed to a specific length and the force is measured by a strain gauge type, load cell. A spring that does not fulfil the load requirements is sorted out.
COLOMBI Length Check With Feedback
The Length Check unit is used to compare each manufactured spring to the required free length. If the spring is found to be too short, this information is sent back to the coiler which makes the next spring a bit longer. If the spring is too long the next one will be made shorter. The Length Check unit always strives to reach a preset spring length. The Length Check option can only be used together with a CNC-based coiler, apart from the EVO.
COLOMBI Diameter Check With Feedback
The Diameter Check works in the same way as the Length Check, but measures the spring's outside diameter instead of the free length. Along with the ability to send back information to the coiler to adjust the diameter of the next spring, the Diameter Check unit also has the ability to sort out springs that are outside the set tolerances. The Diameter Check option is only available if cylindrical or concave spring is manufactured. The diameter Check works with real values. The Diameter Check option can only be used together with a CNC-based coiler, apart from the EVO.
