Manufacturing Technology

Regg Inspection will be entering both its new i600 inspection machine with higher resolution cameras and smaller footprint, and its three die thread rolling machine 3R40HD PLC into this year’s Route to Fastener Innovation Competition. 

Using the highest quality pneumatic, electric and mechanical components for reduced maintenance and increased up time, the new i600 inspection machine has a fully integrated feeding system for smooth and fast inspection giving a more effective part inspection.

Its enclosure has been designed for ease of sight and entry for operator and management. The machine can be equipped with vision systems, mechanical recess control, 360 degree profile control, eddy current crack detection, laser checking, laser marking and other special applications. The machine also features easy and intuitive Human Machine Interface – both for operators and programmers – a built-in cpk function, automatic controls of machine functionalities and an anti-locking device to minimise manual intervention. Its new modular design also has upgrade possibilities with additional inspection modules for a calibrated investment.

Regg Rolling will also be entering its new three die thread rolling machine 3R40HD PLC, featuring state of the art cylindrical thread rolling, into this year’s competition. All mechanical components have been designed with FEM analysis to obtain the most rigid structure for less die wearing. The machine also features Direct Drive and zero backlash gear reducers on the three spindles for perfect die matching and quick set-up; all new hydraulic system for fast speed up to 5 times the traditional thread rolling machines speed; new control of slide movement with 0.001mm accuracy; and user-friendly Man Machine interface with proprietary software. A dimensional control station for extended die life and 100% piece inspection is also included.
