SACMA Group has started 2011 with the introduction of two new machine models in order to satisfy requirements from the aerospace and automotive markets.
For the aerospace market SACMA offers its Warm Forming Headers, to allow production of fasteners from special materials that have a poor aptitude to be formed at room temperature. The warm forming application allows the successful deformation of the following materials:
· Titanium alloys (Ti3, 5Al2V, Ti6Al4V).
· Light alloys (2000 and 6000 series).
· Nickel super alloys (waspalloy, incoloy, inconel).
· Stainless steels (A286, A310)
SACMA supplies the WF Headers with a range of standard features, which facilitate automatic management of production using PLC and Touch Screen panel Interface. Features of SACMA WF Headers include:
First induction coil: this induction coil is behind the cut-off quill and located in the main frame. An external sleeve allows circulation of coolant liquid between sleeve and frame.
Second induction coil: for pre-heating the wire to a middle working temperature. The pre-heating induction system is available from 30kW to 80kW power, according to the machine size
Solid die block, with coated sleeve in each station, with a circuit for circulation of coolant liquid and a location for installation of a pyrometer to control the temperature of the wire.
Integrated fire extinguishing system, with flame detection sensors and CO2 spray nozzles.
Powered feeder to introduce the wire up to the cut-off station. The pull back system allows automatic retraction of the wire and shutting off the induction power in case of machine stoppage.
Automatic motorized adjustments of the positioning of the stock gauge tip and of the threaded sleeve, allowing corrections of the cut-off blank length and of the position of the die ejector pins, during production and without stopping the machine. All the input data relative to the set-up of the machine and the induction power requirements are memorized in the SC-MATIC system.
New Ingramatic heavy duty thread roller
For the automotive market SACMA has introduced the new Ingramatic RP72-L-R1 thread roller, which demonstrates the flexibility of SACMA Group’s machines. The Ingramatic RP72-L-R1 is targeted specifically at factories aiming to achieve a definitive presence in the automotive market, by having the capability to thread extra long parts after heat treatment and also to assemble with washers. Ingramatic incorporates new feeding rails to thread very long parts up to 370mm without washer and 200mm. with washer. New options including Computerized Quick Die Match and Electronic Handwheel are available to reduce the set up time of the thread rolling machines and to make it operator friendly.
