Production of Single and Double Butted Spokes
In the new DD 350-III machine generation, the rotary wire straightener has been re-arranged and is now positioned directly ahead of the cutter, behind the reducing section and the wire feeding unit. In this way, Amba avoids transversal forces and can act on the form-rolled wire during the feeding motion.

Spotlight on Spring Grinding
Some springs, like compression springs, require that their ends be ground to a flattened state in order to facilitate their positioning when used in service. Spring-end grinding is carried out on spring grinding machines that are equipped with abrasive grinding wheels (also called grinding stones). This operation is said to be one of the most expensive operations in the process of manufacturing compression springs. Because of this, spring grinding machine makers and suppliers of spring grinding wheels put a good amount of effort into improving the grinding operation by reducing the grinding time and increasing the life of the grinding wheel.
