The Carlo Salvi cold former is the newest addition to its portfolio of machinery, which further increases manufacturing capacity for high level applications within automotive, household appliances and electrical sectors in Europe.
The Carlo Salvi 1 Die 2 Blow Header has been specially developed and designed for the production of screw blanks as well as solid parts at speeds of up to 190 parts per minute. Complementing TR’s application engineering expertise, this high-tech header machine enables the technical precision and versatility required in manufacturing fasteners for evolving applications across several different industries into which TR supplies.
Since its acquisition in 2014, TR VIC has invested in an automated packaging and labelling machine, a heat treatment line, a high quality pointing machine and laboratory equipment including a high-class Keyence microscope. All of these upgrades have resulted in a sharp rise in productivity, in some cases doubling output in half the time.
The company has grown considerably by expanding its workforce, customer base, improving processes and technologies whilst also achieving quality accreditations, most recently the IATF 16949 during the Covid-19 pandemic. It has been business as usual these last few months and TR VIC is responding to the evolving market by continuing to invest in the company and in newer, faster equipment to the benefit of customers.
Karol Gregorczyk, director of sales and operations at TR VIC in Italy, said: “Machine capability is an area we are continually reviewing as part of our on-going improvement of operational efficiencies. With our on-site manufacturing we can add real value to our customers by developing bespoke products.”
The delivery and installation of this new machine - in just one day, was captured in a time-lapse video which can be viewed on TR Fastening’s YouTube channel (see link below).
