RLS Tooling has held the licence to manufacture REMINC/CONTI tooling for many years now, and has announced that it is now able to supply the latest product – TAPTITE® PRO™ thread rolling dies – from M6 to M12 diameter.
RLS Tooling Ltd has manufactured thread rolling dies since 1989 and continually reinvests in more advanced CNC machinery, CAD/CAM software, and its staff, to assist in making quality tools that meet the high demands expected by its prestigious customers.
“We have held the licence for REMINC/CONTI tooling for a long time and we are expecting the TAPTITE® PROTM thread forming fasteners to be a popular choice by any industry involved in large volume fastener installation due to the development of the Parabolic Profile™ thread form,” explains Marcus Smith, managing director at RLS Tooling.
“The innovative new thread form, combined with the TRILOBULAR® cross section, provides low thread forming torque, excellent resistance to vibrational loosening, along with high axial pull-out and reduced overall cost of assembly.”
RLS can manufacture the TAPTITE PRO thread rolling dies from various materials to suit the customer’s needs and can also offer coatings to further enhance the tool's performance, especially when rolling hardened parts.
“We have also been working on a new barcoding system that has now been fully implemented on the production floor,” points out Marcus. “The new system enables us to track the tooling through production, from start to finish, and optimise the processes. We have been able to highlight bottlenecks in production and rectify them quickly. As a result we have a quicker turnaround on tooling and we can more accurately predict delivery times.”
Marcus concludes: “Our mission is to remain a competitive manufacturer and supplier of quality threading tools with a commitment to continuous improvement of our methods and procedures.”
