In recent years, manufacturers around the world have been facing increasing challenges, including rising labor costs, shortage of skilled workers, and growing requirements for production efficiency.

The fastener manufacturing industry is especially affected because traditional thread rolling production often requires manual loading and unloading operations.

To improve productivity and reduce dependence on manual labor, a fastener manufacturer in Russia upgraded its production line by installing an automatic thread rolling machine.

Customer Background: Traditional Production Limited by Labor Dependence

The customer is a fastener manufacturer located in Novosibirsk, Russia.

The company specializes in producing:

  • construction bolts

  • mechanical screws

  • standard fasteners

  • customized threaded components

Before the upgrade, the factory mainly relied on manual operations during the thread rolling process.

Operators were responsible for:

  • loading workpieces

  • monitoring production

  • collecting finished parts

Although this method was workable, it created several challenges:

Low Production Efficiency

Manual loading limited machine utilization and reduced continuous production capability.

Increasing Labor Costs

As labor costs increased, maintaining sufficient skilled operators became more difficult.

Production Stability Issues

Human operation differences could affect:

  • feeding consistency

  • production speed

  • product quality stability

The company needed a more efficient and reliable production solution.

Production Challenge: Need for Automated Thread Rolling

The customer wanted to achieve:

  • continuous thread rolling production

  • reduced manual operation

  • higher daily output

  • easier machine operation

  • stable product quality

After evaluating the production requirements, an automated thread rolling solution was recommended.

Solution: Automatic Double-Axis Thread Rolling Machine

To meet the customer's requirements, we provided an automatic double-axis thread rolling machine.

The machine integrates multiple functions into one production system:

  • automatic feeding

  • automatic thread rolling

  • automatic unloading

  • automatic counting

  • variable frequency speed control

This allows the machine to operate continuously with minimal operator intervention.

Key Features of the Automatic Thread Rolling Machine

1. Automatic Feeding System

The automatic feeding mechanism replaces manual loading.

Benefits include:

  • continuous production

  • reduced labor requirements

  • improved feeding consistency

  • higher machine utilization

2. Automatic Thread Rolling Process

The machine automatically completes the thread forming process.

Compared with manual operation, automated rolling provides:

  • more stable production cycles

  • consistent thread quality

  • reduced operator workload

3. Automatic Counting Function

The integrated counting system helps operators monitor production quantity.

Advantages:

  • easier production management

  • accurate output statistics

  • improved production planning

4. Variable Frequency Speed Control

The machine is equipped with speed adjustment capability.

Operators can quickly adjust production parameters according to different products.

This allows faster switching between:

  • different bolt sizes

  • different screw specifications

  • different production requirements

Installation and Production Results

After installation, the customer completed trial production and evaluated the performance of the automatic thread rolling line.

The results showed significant improvements.

Production Output Increased by More Than 50%

Before automation:

  • approximately 8,000 pieces per shift

After automation:

  • more than 12,000 pieces per shift

The production capacity increased by over 50%.

Reduced Labor Requirements

The automated production line significantly reduced manual intervention.

Previously:

  • multiple workers were required for loading and unloading

After upgrade:

  • only one operator was needed to manage the production line

Improved Product Consistency

Automation helped reduce human operation differences.

The customer achieved:

  • more stable feeding

  • consistent rolling cycles

  • improved production quality

Customer Feedback

The customer commented:

“The automatic feeding system works reliably. Even new employees can operate the equipment independently after short training. This machine solved our long-term problem of labor shortage.”

The company has now adopted the automatic thread rolling production line as its main manufacturing method and plans further automation upgrades in the future.
