Videx has expanded its extrusion line, capacity and is now offering a combined single and double end chamfer and extrusion machine, starting from long bars or from pre-cut blanks.
With a bar diameter range of 20mm to 50mm and a future expansion plan up to 100mm bar in diameter, the new lines are fully automatic and can work with just one operator. The line combines a bar feeder and an impact cutter – cropping the bar to the desired length and transferring the cropped bars to a magazine for the next operation while separating the residual bar ends. It also includes a chamfer cutting machine – turning chamfers and optional face at the bars on one or both ends; and an extrusion machine that reduces the bar end diameter from major diameter to pitch diameter. Optional additional operations such as induction heating and forging of heads are also available.
Chamfer cutting the bar ends prior to extrusion results in better chamfer quality and longer life of the extrusion die, due to better oil flow into the chamfer dies and less bar tendency to harden while being extruded.
