Manufacturing Technology

Since its inception in the 1960s SASPI S.A has evolved constantly, adapting to the needs of the market, to move from being a small manufacturer of machinery, to a leading provider of machinery for sectors such as aerospace and automotive.

SASPI machines are designed to maximise production times and reduce down time for set-ups and changeovers, as well as allowing an operator freedom to manage multiple jobs. SASPI machines are automated and motorised in order to avoid the use of tools as much as possible and increase the efficiency and precision of adjustments.

For instance, the rail adjustments and die/pitch match on SASPI’s flat die thread rollers are all motorised and there is a touch screen that enables the user to store job numbers and recall them when needed – with all set-up dimensions. The display may also include an integrated process monitor.

SASPI also has a patented system for its motorised die block that makes the machines quick and easy to changeover. The user simply presses the touch screen to adjust the pressure between the dies with high precision – saving a lot of manual work and time.

Apart from thread rollers SASPI has a range of high-quality products including its well known MPA high-speed 3 in 1 pointers. These elements can be combined together to form complex machines such as thread rollers with pointers, washer assembly units, stud selectors or induction heaters.

The MPA automatic pointing machines are very reliable, easy to use and offer high-speed. The machines are fully motorised (centering, rails, top rail, spindle head). However, SASPI points out that the MPA pointing machine is not just a chamfering and facing machine. Within five minutes it could become a drilling machine or a broaching machine, as well as other processes thanks to its great potential.

A key feature of the MPA pointing machine is that every part is held as close to the end as possible during the pointing, facing or drilling process regardless of the length. This helps avoid vibrations and ensures the precision and finishing quality of the part.Over the last 60 years SASPI has paid special attention to innovating through new product development and the application of cutting edge technology – whilst ensuring the best quality at a competitive price. The Spanish company has also always been committed to the internationalisation of the business – developing a presence on five continents through its extensive sales network.

A key characteristic of SASPI is its continuous aim to offer customers the best service possible, focusing its efforts on continuous research of new technologies that enable it to develop innovative products that differentiate it from competitors. The company also works closely with customers to determine with certainty the processes and equipment that best suit their needs.

To do this SASPI has a fully equipped R&D department, which works in achieving these goals and has emerged as the key factor in its progressive growth.
