Manufacturing Technology

US-based RMG (formerly Rockford Manufacturing Group) has recently made several investments within its business to improve its own production, as well as better serve customers, including new CNC machines, a new machine rebuild programme option for customers, plus a new brand image and website.

RMG designs and builds equipment to uncoil, draw, straighten and cut, coiled wire to a length. Its solutions can be found in countless manufacturing processes that begin with coiled wire – where it provides a critical step in production to ensure wire is ready to be manufactured into a usable component or finished product.

“We have a long history of providing equipment to the automotive, aerospace, concrete/construction, industrial, wire forming, and consumer product industries – where customers benefit greatly from the experience of our sales and engineering professionals,” explains RMG. “Our teams continually work with a sense of urgency to provide comprehensive and unmatched support – from equipment design, to delivery, to genuine replacement parts and service. Companies that demand durable, high performance wire processing equipment rely on us to deliver on that promise worldwide – not only with quality products and outstanding customer support, but with competitive prices and lead times.”

In order to continue to provide a first class service to its customers, RMG has also made several investments, including a rebranding process that produced a new look; a new website that incorporates this new look and makes it easier for customers to find RMG and its products; plus the company has updated and renovated its plant to improve efficiencies and throughput, as well as adding new horizontal CNC machines to improve production. 

“At RMG we look to put our customers first by providing programmes and solutions that enable them to further improve the production processes and capabilities,” underlines RMG. “This includes things such as a new machine rebuild programme, as well as technical advances such as Industry 4.0 – giving customers innovative solutions that reduce downtime and the ability to be more efficient. We also offer services, such as machine financing, which gives our customers the ability to get the equipment they need.”

At wire^® Düsseldorf RMG will have two of its most popular machines on display, the model 500 spacesaver wire drawer – capable of drawing up to 8mm – and the model 89 wire drawer – for up to 13mm diameter material. “Both machines will display the latest technical advances, such as our Industry 4.0 technology for data collection and maintenance scheduling. Plus, our new Quick Change wire relaxer assemblies will be on display, which reduce set-up time and enable operators to safely change wire relaxer rolls with no special tools required.”
