❍ Combined header with heading station, pointing station and thread rolling station

Combined headers to produce fasteners and screws

Quality management is facilitated by two gates interfaced with the load monitoring system and discharging of NC parts, after the header and after the roller. An optional load control system protects the machine against overloads and moni- tors the forming and rolling processes. Scrap separators in different sizes are available when producing self-tapping screws. Orders have already begun, and the first machines will be delivered within 2021.

M3 to M8 with a maximum shaft length of 60mm. The machine is a double blow header with an integrated threading sta- tion, representing a new generation of the KSP11-R model. Sacma is re-introducing in the product line the 1D2B combined header in response to increasing demand for small and self-tapping screws, widely used in different areas of industry. The KSP12-R features a one-piece main frame of perlitic cast iron, for rigidity and stability. Major set-up adjustments are motorised for a quick and easy changeover: S-feed wire feeder driven by torque motor; motorised wire stock gauge and DKO; and threading starter driven by torque motor with self-learning function.

Sacma Group designs and manufactures combined headers that are able to produce fasteners from M4 to M24. These combined headers can produce finished parts such as fasteners and screws for the automotive industry, starting from the wire, and are a solution for high productivity requirements, consolidation of production methods, floor space utilisation and work flow in the fasteners manufacturing process by having the forming, pointing and thread rolling in one machine. To complete its range, Sacma is introduc- ing the new combined header model KSP12-R to run fasteners that range from
