The most competitive thread rolling machine 14 March 2017

Ingramatic says its new RP220 (W10/TR2) machine 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.

The unique new bed frame is made of pearlitic spheroidal cast iron and its one piece design includes a contrast block – making it the most rigid machine for this size. The new drive is powered by a high precision planetary gearbox with clutch brake. This new type of drive with epicyclical reduction gear provides and favours higher torque and precision, and the clutch brake guarantees the speedy stop of the machine and the safety of the operator. The feeding rails and the vibratory feeder also have the motorisation of the height positioning to facilitate the adjustment.

The most innovative RP220 feature is the brand new starter unit. The control of the introduction system is obtained by a torque motor. The motion of the introducing slide is realised by means of a linear movement on a guide with rollers. The introducer stroke can be adjusted by the operator panel or by means of the electronic handwheel with any manual adjustment, ensuring speed and accuracy of production changeover. The blanks are separated at the feed point by an innovative stop system that positions the workpiece on three points before it is placed between the dies. Working in parallel with the insertion punch, the screw stop plate also stops the next blank from passing to prevent double insertion.

Ingramatic supplies a monobloc soundproof enclosure. The built-in safety enclosure also guarantees an operator’s safety and noise reduction. The doors and panels offer easy and quick access to the work and maintenance areas and all moving parts are protected with special covers designed with ergonomics in mind. The enclosure also rests directly on the base to ensure that all liquids circulating in the machine are contained and collected to make the RP220 eco-friendly. “A special design has been made for RP220 in order to make the machine very compact and to reduce the space requirements and to permit a shorter commissioning time,” explains SACMA.
