Orbital Riveting

Taumel, the pioneer of Orbital Headforming, is proud to present its renowned machines and equipment. The range of equipment was designed to combine the best in today’s technology with the high quality and precision which you expect from Taumel.

The streamlined design lends itself to modern manufacturing methods and allows high performance equipment to be built at competitive prices.

Taumel Orbital Headforming is a noiseless radial forming and fastening system which replaces conventional riveting, staking, spinning, hammering, pressing, peening, rolling, welding, upsetting and cold heading operations – all with one machine.

Taumel orbital headforming machines use speedy changed single or Multi-Spindle Taumel heads to hold forming tools at a constant angle. The tools orbit a stationary work piece but do not spin. As the tools follow their orbital path, their tips press on the work piece on a line radiating from its center. With all of the pressure applied on this line a flowing wave of material forms ahead of the orbiting tool.

The material has time to flow properly because only a minute quantity is displaced during each spindle revolution… as friction is minimal, no tearing of the work piece occurs. This results in a clean, polished, non-porous surface on the formed material. There is no measurable change in molecular structure – rivet heads, joints and flanges of maximum strength are created.

Taumel machines incorporate easy-to-read scales for greater accuracy and repeatability. Stroke and pressure are fully adjustable and can be precisely maintained at the chosen level. Pressure for forming is generated by either pneumatic or hydraulic power – depending upon the required heading force.

Taumel Orbital Headforming relies on precisely controlled dwell times and tool pressure to form the shapes that you want. The machines make perfectly formed rivet heads and other shapes from both round and non-round stock manufactured from malleable materials.

Taumel machines can flare, flange, join and swage. They also assemble pins, studs, shafts, axles and hubs with unvarying accuracy and repeatability.

The strength, finished appearance and batch-to-batch uniformity of Taumel Headformed assemblies remain unmatched by other systems.

Pms Colloid Mill®

PMS Colloid Mill^® (fig. 7) is used frequently for suspension or emulsion preparation. It provides extremely high shearing force. Colloid mil is favored over homogenizing mixer when the emulsion is viscous or when suspended solid are present in the mixture.

Theory of Operation

Function of PMS Colloid Mill ® is to disperse, emulsify and reduce the size of solid particles into fine uniform particle size. It grinds, mixes and blends product in a more economical and faster way. Rate of throughput varies inversely with the product viscosity.

The action of colloid mill is based on the shear produced between cone-shaped discs, one of which is stationary while the other rotates at a high velocity. The distance between two discs can be varied, thereby affecting the amount of shear applied to particular system.

The suspension or emulsion is gravity fed into the hopper. The suspended particles are forced through the adjustable gap between the stationary and the rotating discs. The sheared and homogenized particles are then passed out through the bottom of the mill. The product can be recycled if required until the desired product condition is achieved.

Application of the mill

Pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, chemical, body care product.

Benefits of the mill

GMP Compliance, economical and Efficient, versatile for wide product, consistent and repeatable, easy to operate, clean and maintenance.

The Prodel DirectLine module (fig. 8) family is an inline asynchronous pallet transfer pallets sizes available for this system are 25x28cm or 30x40cm (10"x11" approximately). There are several different modules to choose from for either automated operations. These modules, once placed on a support structure, assembly line. Manual stations are available with a number or ergonomic platforms, foot rests, adjustable center tables plus much more. ai module integration can vary from simple components such as pneumatics for place or pressing operations to a sophisticated Cartesian, Six Axis, or SCART.
