New SACMA feeding packages 17 April 2017

SACMA Group has announced that all its 6 die net shape parts formers, for special parts production, will now be available with Transfer Support Assistance Package (TSAP) as an option.

SACMA’s new TSAP option is in addition to other key features of its 6 die net shape parts formers, such as S-Feed wire feeder driven by servomotor; the new SC-Matic software; the new quick changeover package; as well as the fully motorised adjustment of the machine.

To extend the capacity of the material to be deformed, SACMA’s Transfer Support Assitance Package supplies additional feeding packages that enable the machine to feed slugs, blanks or pre-formed. In this way, the material can be annealed before its introduction into the header for the final deformation. This process enables the user to obtain products having complicated shapes and extreme deformation rate without the risk of micro-cracks and preserving the mechanical characteristics.

The slugs feeding package is designed to feed slugs in the header at the required station. The previous stations are suitable to form the slugs directly from the wire.

The blanks feeding package enables users to feed cylindrical blanks in the cut off station. With this system it is also possible to feed blanks with a high precision geometry, when necessary to avoid sheared surfaces, and to have special coatings.

The parts feeding package is designed to produce complicated products requiring a two step deformation process with intermediate annealing and phosphating. The pre-formed parts should be fed on the cut off station making a deformation process up to 12 forming stations possible.

These applications are mechanically driven by means of a slide motion and assure a perfect synchronism with the other components of the machine, without particular speed limitations. For the last two packages, since the feeding cassette is installed in place of the wire stop, the machine still maintains its number of original working stations (6 die = 6 working stations).
