Essebi warm forming technology
The development of Essebi technology is always aimed at giving the best
service to its customer, developing machinery that is most useful for each
fastener and parts manufacturer.
The crisis in the fastener manufacturing market in Europe, where practically all
manufacturers have given up the production of standard parts, creates pressure to
extend their work, every day, into new fields. One of them is the production of
parts with special materials, such as stainless steel and titanium. Many parts with
these materials can be cold formed, but usually this solution carries an anomalous
level of tool wear.
Between them the machine manufacturers and Essebi developed new
technologies for the warm forming of these materials. An induction device put
immediately before the cutter brings the wire to the right temperature,
considering the diameter and the length of the parts to be formed.
Special care was invested in Essebi technology to protect, using cooling
systems, all the parts of the machine that could suffer some damage from the hot
blank.
The temperature control system has been extended to all the critical parts of
the machines so that, even when the machine is running on cold, special sensors
can give a constant information on the temperature in the main components of the
machine.
An extra device can also been applied to circulate water throughout the
machine to keep at anytime a specified temperature in the machine. This device is
very useful to cool or warm the machine according to the work it has to make. For
example you can have the machine warmer when you start working, so that the
first pieces can be correctly formed; or you can cool it if you are doing a harder job,
or after many hours of work.
Two new facilities for Magni Group
The Magni Group, Inc, based in Birmingham, MI, USA, and a supplier of engineered, corrosion resistant coatings for automotive and
non-automotive metal products, has recently celebrated the opening of two new facilities in Asia.
The Magni China facility located in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province (near Shanghai), is a manufacturing and distribution center for Magni coatings and
headquarters for Chinese sales and technical services. The Magni Korea Technical Center, located in Ansan Si, is the headquarters for Korean sales and
technical services. The addition of these two new locations brings Magni’s total number of world facilities to fifteen.
Magni China and Magni Korea’s executives welcomed customers and business partners to the ribbon-cutting ceremonies on August 22, and
August 25, 2008 respectively. Over 60 automotive suppliers, OEMs and local government officials attended Magni China’s open house, tour and
luncheon. The Magni Korea team welcomed over a dozen major Korean automotive suppliers and OEMs for technical discussions, tours and lunch.
The two new China and Korea laboratories were co-designed by Magni’s engineers from USA, China & Korea. Both labs operate to the high
standards and capabilities of all Magni global labs. The labs feature high-tech testing and analysis tools such as Magnetic and X-ray thickness
measurement, torque tension/friction testing for coated fasteners, section/mount/polishing part preparation and high-resolution microscope for
film analysis, salt spray test boxes, humidity tester, cyclic corrosion test cabinets, sand blasting, dip/spin, curing oven, and many more.
