SACMA introduces micro threader RP020 25 June 2018

A member of the SACMA Group, Ingramatic is a leading company for designing and manufacturing thread rolling machines. Using it’s I-Thread concept, the company has introduced the new micro threader model RP020 for the high-speed production of very precise miniature screws.

Ingramatic’s well known modular I-Thread machine line provides many innovative features including the motorisation of the die match; the single starter unit driven by torque motor motion; and the patented double starter unit driven by servomotors. These two types of starter units have, as a standard function, the self-learning adjustment of the starter fingers to make the set-up of the blank introduction easy and quick.

Ingramatic states that it is the first worldwide company having engineered a solution for the whole range of machines from M1 to M33.

In addition the micro threader model RP020, W00/W000 die sizes, is the smallest threader inspired by the I-Thread concept. The machine is equipped with the latest technologies available, such as an innovative tool holder, an introduction system driven by a linear torque motor for a ultra-precise introduction of the miniature blanks into the dies, and a slide body running on linear guides (with ball circulation skates) in order to ensure high accuracy for rolling operation.

The drive transmission of the RP020 is made by an innovative double helical drive belt connecting the brushless main motor with an absolute master encoder. This new type of drive with double helical belt favours higher torque and precision.

The machine is equipped with the same advanced functions of the I-Thread machines, like for example, the self-learning adjustments of the starter unit. The introducer stroke can be adjusted by the operator panel or by means of the electronic handwheel, so technicians don’t need to make any manual adjustments with service wrenches, ensuring speed and accuracy of measure change. To guaranty durability and precision, the frame is made of spheroidal cast iron and the SC-Matic interface ensures the management of the motorised adjustments.

In addition, to give a better understanding about the undisputable capacity of Ingramatic to design modular machines with the highest level of sophistication to serve the most exigent users, the machine can be installed in less than one hour thanks to its plug and play capacity.
