Bolts in lengths between 160 and 180mm are typically produced at a rate of 60 pieces per minute. In contrast, the new all-in-one machine offered by AMBA produces upset bolt blanks of 60 to 200mm length at a much higher rate. The first machine of this new design can produce up to 400 bolts per minute, or 24,000 pieces per hour. The new AMBA machines achieve this dramatic increase in throughput by first upsetting one end of the rod, then rotating the rod and upsetting the opposite end in an integrated secondary upsetting station. Thus, the bolt blanks produced have a head at both ends. At the end of the process they are cut in half. This means that at a production rate of 180 to 200 pieces per minute, the machine actually delivers 360 to 400 bolts. Manfred Houben, one of the two managing directors of AMBA, sees great potential for the production of bolts with complex head shapes: “To produce heads of complex shapes we can arrange several ▲ The new AMBA machines achieve an increase in throughput

Aachener Maschinenbau GmbH Stand: 15C36

Aachener Maschinenbau GmbH (AMBA) is introducing its new all-in-one machines for the production of up to 200mm long bolts at unsurpassed rates. In these machines, several upsetting operations take place simultaneously. Compared to conventional machines, this achieves an increase in throughput many times over – also with bolt heads of complex shapes.
