A DIVISION OF AMADA ORII FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Rick Bray, Amada Orii America Inc. Phone: (859)746-3318 Ext. 15 Email: DAVID [email protected] BOSSLER Amada Orii expands technical Sales Engineer services for MEC spring- forming machine division David Bossler brings 24 years of spring-making experience to new sales engineer position. --- (ERLANGER, KY, May 6, 2019) Amada Orii America has hired David Bossler to fill the newly created position of sales engineer for its MEC spring-forming machine division. The position is based at Amada Orii’s Erlanger, KY headquarters. “This is an important step for us because we now have a greater ability to provide technical service to our customers,” said Rick Bray, MEC sales manager. Bossler, who worked for 24 years in spring manufacturing, said the transition to the machinery maker was a logical progression. “I developed a relationship with MEC through my years of setting up MEC machines in a manufacturing setting,” he said. In his new sales engineer position with MEC, Bossler will be responsible for on-site training when a new spring-forming machine is delivered, as well as technical service, both over the phone and on-site. “There’s a wide range of technical support that I provide,” Bossler said. Issues can range from how to change out batteries to dealing with more technical and mechanical issues or questions about operating the computer software that run MEC machines. “Every day is different.” He also will assist Bray with sales. Bossler said he was attracted to MEC because of its reputation of standing behind its equipment – and its employees. “David’s years of spring-making experience as well as his in-depth knowledge of MEC machines will be a real asset for Amadan Orii and its customers,” Bray said. Contact Amada Orii America to learn more. Amada Orii’s MEC Division offers a variety of spring making machinery, including wire forming machines, coiling machines and extension spring machines. ### Amada Orii America (FORMERLY ORIIMEC)

This free length measurement method can only be used with slow transverse motion of the tester crosshead in conjunction with a low load resolution of the tester relative to the springs spring rate. “This free length measurement method is not rec- ommended for use on high speed automatic sorting equipment “Free length Measurement using electric conductiv- ity: This method detects a spring free length by the use of an electric cur- rent. A low voltage is passed from one platen to the other through the spring, and the testers servo control- ler directly detects the closed electric circuit. This method does not require load readings to define free length. The method only requires the closing of an electric current. Its speed only depends on the servo sampling rate which is usually higher than the load digitizing rate. It does not require filtering either. “For example if we compare the speed required for free length testing using load measurement, we can test using electric conductivity at 2 ips with a 5 Khz sampling rate servo controller, giving better than a 0.01 mm ( 0.0004\") free length resolution. “This method is unaffected by magnetism of the spring or platens however the method requires the springs and their plating to be conductive and free of oil and other conductive liquids. “This method is ideal for load and free length sort- ing systems that have a large spring throughput per hour. “Martin Somers is Managing Partner in SAS Inc.

Figure 2 shows the payoff unit from the AHT series. “The light arm version, which comprises spring steel, metal or plastic rollers, is used for wire diameters from approximately 1.5 to 7 mm with strengths up to 1200 N/mm², especially on straightening and wire bending machines. “The heavy version with a large, stable deflection roller is suited to wire diameters from 3 and 16 mm and strengths up to 1200 N/mm². This version is used on straightening and chain machines as well as for cold-forging applications. Last but not least, the double-pass version features a deflection system with springs and steel rollers, which is permanently at- tached to the payoff unit and also has an easy-to-move arm on the control unit. Suited to wire diameters up to 5 mm and strengths up to 2000 N/mm², double-pass wire deflection is primarily used on spring coil and wire nail machines. “The carrier plate diameters can be chosen based on the outer diameter of the coiled material and can be between 850 mm (for special materials such as alloys, for example) and 2300 mm (for spring steel wire, for example).

Spring Grinding Fundamentals Spring grinding is a unique process, which aims to produce precision ground spring ends to certain toler- ances. This is accomplished by removing some wire stock from the end of the spring. Wire stock removal is dependant on wire diameter—the larger the diameter, the more wire stock that will need to come off. Typically, the stock removal equals one-half of the wire diameter at the very end of the coil. The spring grinding process is usually a dry operation, except in the case of very large springs—diameters of 0.75\" (19 mm) and larger—where wet grinding is utilized. Used in the industry for several years, dry grinding allows manufacturers to avoid coolant costs that include maintenance and disposal of the cooling media as well as drying of the ground springs. There are different types of machines and wheels used for spring grinding, and there are two common, but different grinding methods that are used. First, there is “crash/crush grinding” where two rotating grinding wheels are set apart at a specific distance and a spring carrier plate (also referred 70 Wire Forming Technology International/Fall 2019
