SMART Machinery Srl and its thread rolling equipment was a key part of the National Machinery LLC stand at the recent wire® 2016 show, with the company focusing on its NG 20 HE induction flat die thread roller.
SMART Machinery is known for its thread rolling machines built on the fundamental principles of simplicity, repeatability, durability and quality. SMART’s direct drive technology, which can be used on both threaders and pointers, epitomises these principles.
The totally gearless direct drive is a SMART patented technology that provides maximum torque at zero speed and requires fewer parts, which in turn means less wear and more space for other machine components than traditional motors. SMART points out that other benefits of direct drive over traditional motors include an average 20% higher efficiency, reduced noise and machine vibration, as well as a longer running life due to fewer moving parts.
Another significant component of SMART machines is their patented use of linear motors in the induction system. Linear motors provide precise adjustments of all introduction functions, including control of the exact position of the part between the thread rolling dies and precise placement against the dies. The servo-driven SMART system, in addition to providing great simplicity, offers a 0.01mm blank position control, throughout the entire machine cycle. This method of using linear motors to adjust induction functions provides repeatable results for total control of the production process.
SMART machine models are also built with flexibility in mind. Each threading model is designed so ram strokes can be adjusted to cover a wide range of machine sizes. While the pointer product line’s vertical stroke 0.01mm increment adjustments make it possible to make all possible point shapes under any condition. The washer assembly is another option that gives maximum efficiency and productivity.
“SMART’s machine technology has long been at the forefront of the industry, and with its recent acquisition by National Machinery, there will be a significant increase and improvement in SMART’s sales and service capability.
