ReforMate Brochure

Reforming of damaged threads

• Complex work process: Replacement of the entire component
• Time-consuming: entire assemblies have to be disassembled to gain access to the thread
• High costs: Purchase of spare parts, which are also not immediately available
• Safety risk: Dynamically loaded threads should not be repaired by recutting. The thread’s load-bearing capacity is significantly reduced.
• Liability risk: If the manufacturer specifies a torque to achieve a certain pre-tensioning force, this only applies to undamaged threads. The force ratios change fundamentally during chip removalrepairs.
• Applications: Regular damage to wheel bolts, axles and stub axle turbine shafts, machine spindles and many more.
