The automatic start/stop function is designed to reduce downtime during nail production. The process begins at the end of the line with the ENKOveyor: Smart Belt, which has an accumulation sensor to detect whether containers are full or empty. When a container is full, the ENKOveyor: Smart Belt sends a signal to the ENKOroll thread roller to go automatically into idle mode, allowing for container changes without having to manually turn the machine off. As the ENKOveyor: Magnetic's hopper fills due to the thread roller being idle mode, its accumulation sensor monitors the fill level. When the hopper is full, it sends a signal to the ENKOnail+ machine to automatically stop producing nails to prevent the hopper from overloading.

Once the container is changed and the ENKOveyor: Smart Belt sensor detects this and sends a signal to automatically restart the thread roller, which then begins to pull nails from the magnetic conveyor’s hopper again. Once the nails are taken by the thread roller, the nail machine restarts automatically, and ENKOfence enables the ENKOpayoff to safely start feeding the wire to the nail machine again. This automated response helps maintain a steady flow of production without the need for human intervention, ensuring smooth and continuous operations. This saves valuable time and makes it possible for one operator to manage multiple ENKOlines at once – significantly increasing production efficiency compared to other in-line or batch production setups.

The automatic start/stop feature for ENKOline is a game-changer in nail production. By integrating advanced sensors and automation, we ensure that the production process is efficient, safe, and requires minimal manual intervention. This not only boosts productivity but also enhances the overall safety and reliability of the production line. As a result, nail producers can experience a significant reduction in downtime and labour intensity, making the next generation ENKOline an invaluable asset in modern nail manufacturing.
