Plastics extrude automotive fuel lines
A range of vacuum fuel-line extruders produce automobile fuel lines by sequential running mode for easy speed adjustment, variable length or vacuum-forming extrusion.
Corelco, manufacturer of plastics-extrusion equipment, presents its range of vacuum fuel-line extruders, called 'corrugators', that are modifiable for increased efficiency and quality These machines are specific enough to meet details demands of different fluid-transfer applications and flexible enough to allow variations in productions to satisfy changing demands of automobile manufacturers

Leak test technique simplifies and increases production leak test repeatability and selects the ideal fill and stabilization times based on the volume and temperature of the product.
Robots offer casting fettling flexibility
Tricept robots provide improved parts quality, higher productivity and better working conditions in foundries for cleaning and pre-machining automotive aluminium castings.
The corrugators can produce pipes with diameters from 0.2 to 2in.
(5 to 50mm), covering most fluid-transports in automobiles (for air, gasoline, oil, and water) in single or multiple section in all kinds of thermoplastics.
The company will exhibit this range at the PLASTEC West trade show from Feb.
13 to 15, 2007, in Anaheim, California, USA, at booth number 4075.
Corelco's new range of corrugators specially created for producing automobile fuel lines allow production variations in three ways: a sequential running mode for easy speed adjustment; variable length and vacuum-forming extrusion - all to meet demands of automobile manufacturers.
In sequential running mode, mold-block speed is increased or decreased according to diameter to match the requested thickness.
It can produce complex pipes, allowing for different patterns, different diameters, and constant or variable thicknesses.
The corrugator's length can be adjusted to any requirement.
Its design also minimizes the time spent changing out mold blocks allowing for as many as five changes a day.
Since 1992 Corelco has been perfecting its vacuum-extrusion process, which is ideal for forming pipes meant for automotive fluid transfer.
The system is divided into several independent parts to avoid any air leaks, thus guaranteeing an exceptional pipe-forming every time.
These machines are fitted with a tactile screen and include management software for fast and simple visualization of the production line with a function for saving the settings for future use, adding flexibility and smoothness to the production.
