Manufacturing Technology

National Machinery will be participating at the 2024 wire^® show with its stand featuring three machine demonstrations – the FXH2 Lightning machine, the DTi model 3105 wire drawer and the SMART NG20 threader. 

National Machinery explains that the first machine, the FXH2 Lightning machine, is a double stroke header that is lightning fast, as it can produce up to 400 parts per minute. “As producers look to make more parts regionally through reshoring, this fast and efficient machine helps make that vision a reality,” states the company. “The header is able to produce a TORX^® countersunk screw that starts with 5.6mm diameter wire.”

This wire is drawn to size by a DTi model 3105 wire drawer, which will also be on the stand – with a key feature its ability to take up minimal space while providing the perfect final diameter.  National Machinery explains that after the headed part has been produced on the FXH2 Lighnting machine, it is sent to a SMART NG20 threader – the final machine demonstration at the wire^® show. “The SMART machine then rolls four features in one pass with a ring, thread, groove and point all added,” points out National Machinery. “The SMART threader is servo driven for full torque at any speed and energy savings are possible with efficient use of power by the servo.”

Set-up is also easy with the auto set-up feature and die match adjustment is now available as automated, which National Machinery points out can create huge savings for production efficiency and operator set-up. 

“Check out our stand to also see customer support upgrades and learn how National can make sure your existing machines keep running with great uptime.”

During the show, National Machinery will also celebrate 150 years of business and is keen for customers to mark their calendars and keep an eye out for details of the Open House that is planned to take place the week of 16^th September at the headquarters in Tiffin, OH, USA.
