RLS Tooling Ltd has manufactured
thread rolling dies since 1989 and
continually re-invests in more advanced
machinery to assist in making quality
tools that meet the high demands
expected by customers.
Its thread rolling dies are used worldwide
by manufacturers making fasteners for
the construction industry, automotive,
white goods and aerospace. The company
makes a full range of flat dies for standard
threads, many special thread forms and
licensed thread forms. RLS hold licences
to manufacture dies for the Taptite®,
MAThread® and Excalibur Screwbolt®
products.
To complement the extensive range of
flat dies RLS also manufactures a range of
circular thread rolls. It can make rolls for
most two-roll machines up to a maximum
diameter of 315mm and also the Fette
three-roll system. In the interest of
maximising tool life it also offers a regrind
facility for a large part of its range.
In recent years there has been a trend
towards rolling tougher and more varied
materials which has in turn made RLS
review its steels used to produce rolling
dies. The company now offers a range of
HSS or powder metallurgy type steels.
Tool life can be further enhanced by the
use of various coatings.
Computers are used extensively by
technicians in designing dies, and in
addition to CAD/CAM software used
in manufacturing, customer services
are computerised where all orders are
monitored from point of entry through to
point of despatch.
