Spring Making Machinery

Compression Spring Coilers:

The FUL series of fully CNC high speed coilers offers 7 different sizes, from the smallest FUL-23 with wire range 0.4mm - 1.4mm to the largest FUL-103, with a maximum of 18mm high tensile alloy wire diameter for suspension springs.

The FUL-63 7mm capacity machine has been introduced for the production of valve and clutch springs, and utilizes water-cooled servomotors, water cooled slides and cooling-plate temperature control of the electronics cabinet. All this
enables a 30% increase in speed and tighter tolerance production.

They feature the FPS Windows based programming system, with graphics and fast data entry. Standard 4-axis control allows complex spring shapes and pitch to be programmed within seconds, using pre-programmed routines. Larger machines have Left and Right hand coiling changeover by quick-change systems, and they all feature the Rotary Cutting system for burr-free wire cut-off. Easily calibrated pneumatic or hydraulic feed roll clamping is standard, as is powered mandrel adjustment on the larger machines.

The lower cost FSE series have been able to use the latest high speed servomotor technology, Touch screen FPS styleWindows programming system, and uses the same tooling as the existing FUL series. It is fitted with the standard vertical cutting system.

The machines are available as FSE-13, -23, -33, -43 and -63 models, with maximum wire diameters of 0.8mm, 1.4mm, 3.0mm, 4.5mm and 6mm.

Compression Spring End Grinders:

The FES range of machines now include models exclusively capable of working with CBN wheels, and those capable of working with both CBN and conventional abrasive grinding wheels.

These machines are offered in single and twin head versions, with single or twin loading plate options, and for the conventional wheel models, include an automatic dressing option.

The FES-400 has been designed for high output grinding of small springs, using CBN wheels only, automatic loading and unloading, and can achieve outputs greater than 9,000 per hour depending on wire and spring diameters.

Mandrel type Torsion Coilers:

Two FTU/B models are available for ultra high speed mandrel winding of springs. Hard tooling for coiling and leg forming, but with 4 CNC axis programmed in a simple table format. This enables an output of up to 150 springs per minute.

Copper wire (strip and round) for electrical coils can be wound on these machines, with a stripping option available for removing enamel insulation on leg ends. Stripping length control and sorting also available.

Quill Generator type Torsion, Double Torsion Spring and Wire Former:

The FMU series consists consist of 5 machine sizes, with 12 axis as standard, but with up to 22-axis capability on the largest size, the FMU-6. The patented wire rotation feature, indexing coiling tool, and 3 or more CNC loopers, together with the Rotary Quill feature, and using the Windows-based WPS programming system, makes this the fastest setup and highest output machine of its type in the world. Standard forming tools, and no cams, mean virtually no setup cost for small or large runs.

Slides are moved by direct drive servomotors, with no cam or springs, making only positive fast slide movements. Two laser sensors can monitor and correct component production, unattended if required.

The larger machines have programmable bending mandrel selection on 1 or more servospinners, and the FMU-6 has Slide Table movement to Coiling tool and Servospinners, enabling off-line bending and mandrel winding to take place.
