Last summer, we invested in a new AMADA LASMAC LC2415 Alpha IV NT laser cutter. With a maximum cutting speed of 20m/min and a CO₂ hybrid style laser and ball screw drive system, the machine cuts a maximum sheet of 5040mm x 1550mm x 300mm and is a further expansion of our offerings at JB Springs. Along with any spring and wireform requirements, be sure to get in touch with our team at JB Springs if you are interested [...]
One of our oldest pieces of machinery at JB Springs is the Latour Multi-Slide. The Latour Multi-Slide provides the adaptability needed for our in-house trained engineers to produce simple and complex wireform parts alike. The video below shows the machine producing a hook coned into a tension spring. We undoubtedly love investing in new machines and putting them to good use (like our BM6 in our previous blog post but this old-timer still runs well and is just as [...]
As part of our continual investment in the latest spring and wireform production technology, we recently installed an additional Wafios BM6 CNC wire-bending machine to produce our wireform parts, using up to 13mm diameter wire. This machine provides us with further capacity in this area. You can see our original BM6 machine in action on our YouTube channel. This video shows the machine working with our Universal UR10e robot and our Keyence high-speed camera to tightly control dimensions. Established [...]
We continually invest in new machinery and new tools for our compression springs, tension springs, torsion spring and wireform parts. This is part of our commitment to JB Springs staying at the forefront of spring manufacturers Recently, we welcomed a second Itaya RX20 CNC machine to our purpose-built facility - which you can see in action below and in several videos we've filmed and uploaded to our JB Springs YouTube channel - Welcoming the Itaya RX20 and JB Springs [...]
In March, we invested in a brand new CNC machine – our second Itaya RX20. This machine is capable of producing torsion and tension springs, as well as wireform, from 0.5mm up to 2.0mm diameter wire. With a rotary wire feed and rotary wire guide mechanism, this machine makes creating complex wireform shapes accurate and efficient. The machine also boasts laser and camera measurement capabilities – contributing automation and accuracy to the production process of both wireform and compression, [...]
This month’s equipment spotlight section is focussing on our WAFIOS Aktiengesellschaft BM6 robotic machine. Operating with a Keyence camera, the state-of-the-art machine checks and stacks 10mm mild steel wireform at our purpose-built premises. The robot has been affectionately christened ‘Kevin’ and has cemented his place in the JB Springs team – being used more and more within our manufacturing processes. Watch ‘Kevin’ on-site and in action in the video above!
We consistently demonstrate our dedication to staying at the forefront of the spring manufacturing industry through our investment in the highest quality, cutting-edge equipment. Another development made recently at JB Springs is the addition of a brand new MicroStudio PTM5 torsiometer. This machine will enable us to accurately measure the torque of the torsion springs we produce. We have also invested in three load cells for the measurement on compression and tension springs. Through investing in industry-leading kit such [...]
JB Springs consistently demonstrate our dedication to staying at the forefront of the spring manufacturing industry. This shows through our high-quality, cutting-edge equipment investments to assist in our production of compression, tension and torsion springs and wireform products. Most recently, we have installed brand new load testers (image above). Made by Italian machinery manufacturers and industry leaders Microstudio using advanced technology, these devices automatically and accurately measure static length and load capabilities of tension and compression springs, with a [...]
