Videx VEM Series Magazine Feed Extrusion Machines Videx is offering a new series of extrusion machines that are automatically fed from a magazine.

The main function of the machines is to extrude parts from major thread diameter to a pitch diameter. The VEM machines are equipped with bar feeders that automatically feed the straight parts into the dies. The machines extrude the parts, and eject them outside the machine without operator interference.

The major advantage of this new line is the ability to feed both short and long parts into the machine with the same feeding system, and enables using one set of gripper dies for the entire range of part lengths. Each model in the VEM line covers a large range of wire diameters. The smallest machine in the line will cover the diameter range of Ø5mm to Ø25mm, and will handle short parts starting from 70mm long! The largest model will extrude 100mm bars.

Being open in front, the machine has no maximum length restrictions, and can also be used as a hand feed machine for extra long parts. The machine has a slim profile, which enables feeding bent parts, as well. The machine is optionally supplied with "side windows" for feeding bent parts from the side. The extrusion stroke adjustment is external and takes seconds. The VEM models are available in higher tonnage ratings, for upsetting and heading. The machines are available with 1 or 2 stations with either open dies and closed dies and heading tonnage up to 400 tons. Fully automatic machines are available as well form coil, up to Ø25mm.

Extrusion has the following advantages: It is 5 times faster then turning blanks. It is cheaper, saving a considerable amount of material. It is a clean operation. The surface quality is better. The roller thread is stronger then cut thread. When extruding Ø1” to 1” UNC pitch diameter (.91”), the part extends by almost 21% of the extrusion length, saving a net 21% of the material extrusion length. For example: Part length 20” Extrusion length 6”. When cutting the threads, you have to take a 20” long bar. When extruding, you have to take 18.97” bar. The immediate saving here is about 5% on the total cost of material!
