Roll Thread Machines
Roll Thread Machines
(OP)
Hi,
Where can I find information on optimizing roll threading machines, specifically I'm looking for guidance on:
1. How to figure out what contact pressure the machines should be set to (I assume depending on material and size).
2. Any existing designs of gages that can be used to decrease setup time. I notice our workers take about 10 minutes each job doing fine adjustments, I'm sure some gages could be made to speed that up, does anyone know of some existing designs?
I'm checking roll threading company websites but they aren't too much help, also I don't want to involve roll thread manufacturers or gauge designers as the budget to work with these on these two issues is very minimal. Any resources or reference books someone knows about? Please feel free to make any suggestions.
My machine is an old Tesker roll threader. It looks to be an old version of the model 200 machine, it does not have computer display and some of the gauges are in a different position than the new Model 200 version.
Thanks for the help

RE: Roll Thread Machines
There is very little technical information available in the public domain about thread rolling specifics like this. The people who have this kind of information either work for the equipment manufacturers (Tesker, Kinefac, Profiroll, etc.) or work for your competitors (fastener manufacturers, machine shops, etc.). If it were me, I would at least make 1 phone call to Tesker to discuss your situation. For what it's worth, the best reference I have seen on thread rolling is the book chapter that Harold Greis from Kinefac wrote in the following book:

However, it will only have a little coverage on question 1, and nothing on #2.
