In the aerospace sector, like a lot of other industries, springs are everywhere. They’re in the seats and luggage bins of commercial planes, the control panels of jet fighters and in the antenna of satellites. Although there are hundreds of different spring shapes and designs flying above our heads every day, they all have something in common—they can fail. Although a lot of springs might not be considered “safety critical” in the aerospace sector, failure, especially systemic failures, are not acceptable

Designed for the production of high-precision one or multi-turn rings from profiled material as well as righthand coiled wave springs (optional), the SNA series offers a wide range of application possibilities. The upgraded machine version with a special pitch device can be used to produce rings with waves, multi-turn rings with crimps or complex wave springs. Compared to conventional spiral springs, wave springs offer a continuously high spring force and deflection while requiring only limited installation space.

Case study presents modeling through the use of a sophisticated spring calculation software system

Machine builder VARO S.r.l., Valmadrera (LC), Italy, reports that customers want high productivity, but the main need is to have flexibility in production and speed in job change and machine settings. The double table welding machine is VARO’s solution to answer the need for high productivity and maximum flexibility in the production process

Choosing the right material, from the outset, is absolutely critical to ensuring the end application performs in the manner required of the product. If only it was this simple. Product designers and engineers have struggled for years in this arena, and it has often cost them significant time and money, and sometimes not truly discovered until you are 80% through the production process

The high-security fence mesh line manufactured
by CLIFFORD Machines & Technology,
the model MWPA34 with Medium Frequency
welding, Underwire and Stretching of Crosswires,
is extremely versatile, offering the
