Greenfield can provide key benefits for customers continually looking at ways to improve on the cost of the welding process.

Greenfield produce high quality welded assemblies. Investing in the latest welding advances provides maximum cost savings for customers. The benefits are immediate on any size production run with guaranteed repeatability.

Greenfield also provide a comprehensive selection of welding processes to cover a vast range of disciplines from MIG, TIG, Spot welding, Stud welding, Gas welding.

Greenfield has a highly multi-skilled fabrication team qualified to weld ferrous & non ferrous materials.

Greenfield provide a complete precision sheet metal service to offer customers the most comprehensive manufacturing support.

Stud insertion is a perfect way of fixing two sheet metal components together without using fabrication processes. If the part does not suit a welding process Greenfield can provide the answer.

Inserting over 1,500,000 fixings a year Greenfield have three Haeger fastener insertion machines, two of which are the 824 WT4e model.

These two 824 WT4e fastener insertion machines meet our business strategy by introducing the new Haeger technology and has created more shop floor space, as our main production area had three older Haeger machines which have been replaced with the two smaller footprint efficient flexible models which are fitted with auto bowl feeders, have increased throat depth for components of up to 24″ plus increased hydraulic force of 8 tonnes to allow improved even pressure across material types and gauges to give a more secure fixing.

Greenfield inserts a variety of fasteners, flush head studs, anchor rivets, clinch nuts male and female to name just a few. The machines flexible touch screen controllers with stored part programs gives the ability to our operators to call up component programmes to the digital touch screen giving fixing position reliability with visual colour coded drawing guides to eliminate costly errors on complicated panels and sub-assemblies.

Please contact our dedicated technical team who will be more than happy to advise on the best cost effective solution.

Greenfield can now offer high quality deburring and metal finishing process within its production processes by using our Timesavers 22 series 22-900-W with LW22-4kw wet dust extraction.

There is a reduction of costs and an increase in efficiency by combining an abrasive belt and a brush process, products can be deburred and rounded in one go. The Timesaver 22 Series is produced for deburring laser cut metal and edge rounding of sides and all of this while incurring very low costs. The Multi Disc head which consists out of 6 deburring brushes which rotate against each other can create a large rounding on the edges and aesthetically pleasing finish to the part.

Machine Specification:

  • Table mounted on 4 synchronous spindles.
  • Digital thickness adjustment and display in mm.
  • Frequency controlled conveyor motor, 2.5 – 14 m/min and 0.7 – 7 m/min for WBB.
  • Automatic table height adjustment 1 – 125 mm.
  • Electronic oscillation.
  • Dust extraction hoods and connections on top.
    CE certified.

Applications & Benefits:

  • Removal of vertical burrs from punched laser and waterjet cut parts.
  • Stainless steel, steel, aluminium, copper, etc.
  • Deburring and surface finishing in one throughput when using multiple heads.
  • Edge breaking by means of cylindrical Nylon web brushes (B), flap brushes (B) or small brush- es (MD).
  • Finishing / brushing / deburring.
  • Very low operating costs and high production capacity.

Please contact the technical sales team who will be happy to talk through the benefits of this process in detail with you.

Greenfield is able to offer in-house manual tapping as part of its fabrication production capabilities, utilizing the state-of-the-art Roscamat Tiger electric tapping machine. The Roscamat Tiger is designed with a radial arm joint connected to a tilting arm, balanced by a pneumatic spring. The head member and electric motor are located at the end of the tilting arm and are adapted to always maintain a right angle relative to the working area. The machine can be securely fixed to a table or workbench using three M8 (120º) screws or a simple clamp.
Key Features:
  • Speed Control: The speed is regulated by a variator board in the electronic box casing. Two buttons located on the radial arm control the motor speed and optional automatic lubrication and depth settings. This allows the speed to be perfectly adjusted for different thread types.
  • Modular System: The machine is equipped with seven quick-change planetary gearbox reducers that allow you to match speed and torque to each thread size, covering M2 to M27.
  • Quick-Change Toolholders:
    • Type 1 (Ø19 mm): Supports thread sizes from M2 to M14 with speed modules of 1050, 750, 550, and 300 rpm.
    • Type 2 (Ø31 mm): Supports thread sizes from M6 to M30 with speed modules of 170 and 90 rpm.
      A variety of tap holders are available, with or without clutch, for different applications. Clutched holders prevent snapping taps in blind holes, while non-clutched holders are ideal for tapping through holes and accommodating various tools like drills, threading dies, and socket wrenches.
Machine Specifications:
  • Working Area:
    • Radius: 1020 mm | Height: 535 mm (standard)
    • V/H Radius: 1160 mm | Height: 535 mm (standard)
  • Adjustable Lifter: Provides an additional 130 mm of clearance when required.
With this advanced equipment, Greenfield ensures high precision and efficiency in manual tapping, making it a valuable addition to our production capabilities.
