THREAD AND PROFILE ROLLING MACHINES
Rollwalztechnik Abele + Höltich GmbH, located in Engen, Germany, has been a prominent developer of thread and profile rolling machines since 1982. Their machines are recognized for their flexibility, user-friendly design, and collaborative approach with customers and suppliers.
The RWT machines are versatile, supporting both infeed and through-feed rolling. They feature a compact design with a closed roll frame for controlled rolling forces and self-lubricating guides to enhance tool longevity. These machines are adaptable with various automation options and are constructed with components from reputable German manufacturers for straightforward maintenance.
These machines feature a new control concept developed with Beckhoff, including a powerful PC, touch screen, and Beckhoff TwinCAT software. They provide high precision and flexibility, with options for remote diagnosis and maintenance, and are available with rolling forces ranging from 200 to 600 kN.
Equipped with two hydraulic servo cylinders, these machines are ideal for automation, preventing center offset during machining. They offer rolling forces up to 1000 kN and are controlled by Beckhoff TwinCAT.
This system provides a flexible machine concept with interchangeable roller arrangements and CNC control, suitable for diverse machining tasks. It includes maintenance-free guides and modular assemblies for electrics and coolant units.
The “Walzblock” is a compact, powerful 2-roller thread rolling machine that supports flexible automation solutions. It can be integrated into other processing machines, offering efficient production methods.
Rollwalztechnik offers thread rolling dies for all machine makes and systems, including infeed and throughfeed methods, spline rolling dies, axial and tangential rolling head dies. They provide specialized tools for high-strength and stainless materials, as well as aerospace applications.
Rollwalztechnik's machines and tools are designed to meet a wide range of thread and profile rolling needs, offering flexibility, durability, and ease of maintenance. Their dedication to innovation and customer collaboration ensures their leadership in the cold forming sector.
Rollwalztechnik Abele + Höltich GmbH specializes in producing thread and profile rolling machines, tools, and special-purpose machines. Their product range includes universal thread and profile rolling machines, CNC and CNC/AC machines, symmetrical machines, and the MDS flexible rolling system.
The company offers a comprehensive selection of tools such as knurling wheels, carbide work rest blades, and knurling holders. Their knurling wheels are high precision, made from vacuum-hardened HSS, and can be customized with high-alloy or PM steels, nitriding, or TiN-coating for special applications.
Rollwalztechnik also develops special-purpose machines tailored to customer requirements. Notable models include the RWT K10, a calender-type machine, and the RWT MDS Duo, which features dual rolling frames for simultaneous rolling on both sides of a workpiece.
Founded in 1982 by Hermann Höltich and Jürgen Abele, the company has achieved several milestones, including the development of the first CNC thread rolling machine in 1992 and the delivery of a 100-ton thread rolling machine in 2012. The company holds patents for innovations like the "Walzblock" compact rolling unit and a special thread rolling die design.
