In-House Operations

SUN heading machine with its wire coil

Heading

Cold heading forms screw and bolt heads from drawn wire, fed from the coil.

Thread rolling machine with feed rail and dies

Thread Rolling, Automatic & Manual

Threads are rolled, not cut: the dies form the thread by pressing the blank. Automatic machines for volume, operator-fed machines for short runs and special parts.

Traub turning tooling with cutting fluid and turnings

Traub Turning

Cam-driven Traub automatics turn diameters, steps, bores, chamfers and threads on bushes, pivots, studs and special parts.

Grinding

Centreless grinding brings diameters to a fine finish and close tolerance after turning.

Milling & Slotting
