Boosting Speed Without Sacrificing Precision: A Custom Servo-Driven Solution for Chain Assembly

When a chain manufacturer came to Orbitform seeking a faster and more efficient way to assemble their product, they had one major requirement: to increase production speed without compromising part quality.

To meet this challenge, our team developed a custom servo-driven orbital forming machine using a high-speed servo motor; a solution that significantly reduced cycle time while maintaining tight process control.

The Challenge: High Volume, High Precision

The manufacturer needed to assemble multiple rivets across a single chain link in rapid succession. Traditional forming equipment required full retract cycles between each rivet location, adding unnecessary delay.

They needed:

The Solution: A "Special" Servo-Driven System

We engineered a custom servo-driven orbital forming machine equipped with a high-speed servo motor. This setup allowed the forming head to:

Why Servo-Driven Equipment?

Servo-driven equipment offers several key advantages over pneumatic or hydraulic systems:

The Results: Speed + Control

With this servo-driven system, the chain manufacturer achieved:
