Extrusion International USA 2-2020

21 Extrusion International 2/2020 Guill Tool has released its new reciprocating head. The traditional tip and die assembly is replaced with a linear re- ciprocating assembly that changes the tube’s profile within a given length. This process is repeated throughout a single extrusion run without interruptions. Cutting capability, in as- sociation with the extrusion speed, cuts the finished product to length. While cost and value stream activities are reduced, quality is improved. Only one extrusion run is needed to pro- duce a finished product, as opposed to multiple extrusion runs with tooling changes along with a manual assembly operation to connect different tubing shapes. Guill’s new reciprocating head eliminates an assembly operation. It also eliminates in-process inventory. Thus, there is no need for storage of various tubing shapes and connectors needed for assembly, fulfillment of orders and replenishment of fin- ished goods. Furthermore, the reciprocating head eliminates a connecting piece, allows JIT production and products made-to-order. Lastly, it reduces total run time from receiving the order to shipping.
