Manufacturing Technology

SACMA Group will be attending wire^® Düsseldorf 2024, hall 16 stand D44, and as always will be welcoming all the actors of the forming world to its always appreciated booth dedicated to its four brands – SACMA, Ingramatic, HS ASPE, and Tecno Lift – as well as the most important innovations from within the Group.

Firstly, SACMA will present its series of combined machine model SP18, as it has been updated with a new soundproof enclosure, a new wire feeder with direct drive motor, new HMI software and new transfer unit. This combined header can produce fasteners and screws for the automotive, construction, electric/electronic and white good industries – starting from the wire. SACMA states that this is the best solution for high productivity requirements, consolidation of production methods, floor space utilisation and work flow in the fastener manufacturing process – by having the forming, chamfering and thread rolling all in one machine. The machine is also equipped with the latest technologies available on the market, such as direct drive motors and ultimate software to facilitate the operators to make quick changeover easily and safely.

Fast and strong in innovation

The Ingramatic division is today the worldwide leading company for designing and manufacturing cold and warm thread rolling machines. The well known modular I-Thread machine line provides many innovative features, such as the starter units driven by torque motor motion, which will be displayed at wire® Düsseldorf with the 2024 RP120 (TR1/W1015). 

Ingramatic points out that the 2024 RP120 (TR1/W1015) is the best compromise between rigidity and high-tech features – making it the most competitive thread rolling machine for building, construction, electronic, furniture, appliance and automotive fasteners, with the capability to run up to 600ppm.

Features of the machine include the control of the introduction system, obtained by a torque motor, and the introducer stroke being adjustable by the operator panel or by means of the electronic handwheel without any manual adjustment, ensuring speed and accuracy of production changeover. The blanks are also separated at the feed point by an innovative stop system that positions the workpiece on three points before it is placed between the dies. 

Ingramatic also supplies a monobloc soundproof enclosure that guarantees the operator’s safety and noise reduction. The enclosure rests directly on the base to ensure that all the liquids circulating in the machine are contained and collected – making the RP120 ecofriendly.  A special design has also been made for RP120 in order to make the machine very compact and to reduce the space requirements and to permit a shorter commissioning time. All these features ensure quick changeover, space saving, precision, ergonomics, as well as low production costs thanks to its construction design.

The brand HS ASPE is the division of the Group providing secondary operation machines to run pre-formed parts with a range of technologies, including tapping machines, combined machines, transfer machines and multi spindle turning machines. 

At wire^® Düsseldorf HS ASPE will show the new generation of combined machine model DT12, which is able to run parts up to M12. Drilling and tapping combined machines are used to execute complementary operations in addition to the tapping. Operations like drilling, boring, facing, as well as chamfering, are so performed, sequentially or in overlapping, exploiting the single positioning/clamping of the part under process. That way the output rate is strongly increased. A top performer machine can be gifted with 2-3-4 working units.

Finally, Tecno Lift is the company of the Group in charge of the design and the manufacturing of all ancillaries to load, feed and convey parts to all of SACMA Group’s machines. Every machine that will be displayed on the stand at the show will be equipped with Tecno Lift solutions, which are available for other application or existing machines already installed at the customers.

“We will be pleased to welcome visitors at wire^® Düsseldorf 2024, hall 16, stand D44, to show and explain all the new technologies and the capacity to support all the customers around the world,” reports SACMA Group.
