Dual-spindle thread rollers Videx dual-spindle thread rollers will roll threads above and below the shoulder; the threads can be either different or similar. The two heads are independent, eliminating any influence of one on the other and enabling the use of simple and economical rolling dies. The advantages are said to include: Independent adjustment assures better quality of each thread • Higher production speeds, as the second operation does not • slow the machine Reduced handling, eliminating the possibility of mixing parts • Inexpensive tooling and full control of the quality of each rolling • operation. Tools can be replaced in minutes

Both stations have controlled thread rolling start, hydraulic clamping, zero-taper mechanism for parallel threads and micrometric thread pressure screws. Other features include speed controller, automatic air shut-off and dual operator control panel. Main features: Closed frame - the main spindle is pivoted • on both sides for parallel threads on long and high tensile fasteners, preventing breathing and resulting in extended die life Hydraulic clamping of the thread rolling • dies and micrometric screws for precise adjustment of the thread rolling dies

Controlled feed, equalising the line speed of the blank to the • rotary die speed, eliminating slippage and resulting in improved quality threads Stainless steel feed rails are manually adjusted, needing no • wrenches. A spring-loaded upper rail over a wide hold back finger, provides parallel feed and precise thread length Automatic air shut-off to the feeder and the feed rails • Fine thread match on each station. Independent and precise • die match at the touch of a finger AC speed controller enables running at the highest possible • rate High speed vibratory feeder with fine adjustment settings. • To change thread length, the whole feeder is lifted, from one point, with the feed rails Computer with digital screen for messages and data • No maintenance as there are no clutches, slides or hydraulics • Videx Machine Engineering Ltd – Israel Fax : +972 3536 4801 Email : videx@videx.co.il Website : www.videx.co.il
