J10 subject to alterations Flexibility The electronic thread moulding unit can be used in a wide variety of presses, progressive dies and automatic punching machines thanks to its independent drive and versatile control unit. If required, a thread cutter can also be operated instead of the non-cutting thread moulder. The compact design allows for the greatest possible flexibility. Integration takes place through installation in existing equipment. The control unit of the elec- tronic thread moulding unit is coupled with the equipment according to requirements. The simple programming facilitates quick calibration of all parameters. Quality The thread moulding unit produces high quality threads in sizes M2-M24. The threads stand out thanks to: ▬ great strength and stability ▬ high surface quality The quality test includes an ongoing check of the thread moulding cycle. The condition of the thread tool, the tolerance of the core hole and the quality of the resulting thread are inferred from the monitored parameters. If limit values are fallen short of or are exceeded, a stop signal is sent to the press or equipment and a corresponding error message is produced. Furthermore, all data sets can be read out from the controls and summarised externally as a report, for instance within a quality assurance system. Cost effectiveness In addition to producing high quality threads, the thread creation is above all extremely cost effective. Cost savings can be achieved through: ▬ long service life of the tools ▬ faster processing times ▬ avoiding rejects ▬ eliminating the feeding of parts and additional production stages ▬ a high level of investment security ELECTRONIC THREAD MOULDING The electronic thread moulding unit, specially designed for punching and forming processes, stands out thanks to its excellent process integration. Regardless of whether the electronic thread moulding unit is used in progressive dies or progression tools, in presses or in automatic punching and bending machines, the desired threads are created in a reliable and controlled fashion. This improves thread quality, increases reliability and ensures quick, cost-effective production.
