Manufacturing Technology

Over the last 20 years TLM has been focused on a multi-functional machine concept in order to save customers time and space – enabling machines to be placed in every kind of warehouse.

A multi-functional thread rolling machine can provide a flat die threading machine, plus a rotative threading module, as well as a chamfering unit, and is capable of working every hardened part, with loading elevator and orientating system, washer loader or other complementary equipment.

Firstly, a lifting unit rises the pieces to the working station. On the same line hardened pieces can be given points, chamfers, carved grooves, be threaded on different points of the shank, and assembled with washers, until they are put out as finished parts without any further operation.

“Our concept of precision mechanics means easy adjustment and maintenance, reliability, robustness and everlasting duration,” explains TLM Srl. “This is a new strategy of thread rolling machines to meet specific customer requests of extreme flexibility.”

TLM produces flat dies threading machines, rotary machines (roll and sectors machines), as well as complementary equipment such as washer loaders, chamfering machines, feeding systems with loading elevators and other units for feeding washers and screws into the vibratory bowls. At the beginning of the 2000s, a micro threader was also put on the market – able to thread micro screws and details, for spectacles production, jewellery, electronic boards and other industries.
