Payoff Equipment

Rockford Manufacturing Group Inc. (RMG) acquired Fastener Engineers in 2003.

Between the two companies we have been in business for over 80 years and are the pioneers of the in-line wire processing equipment. We have taken advantage of the merger of our companies to combine the best technologies of both engineering groups to develop one distinct brand of In-Line Wire Processing Solutions under the RMG name.

We have developed new methods of high-speed payoffs for use in front of our straighten and cut equipment. Our Vertical Payoff Stand – 4VPS16, for smaller diameter wire (.050” - .188”) and Variable Frequency Drive – power assisted turntables, provide a solution for inadequate payoffs which is one of the biggest problems with straightening and cutting. A poor payoff can greatly reduce the production rate of the straightening and cutting machine, which is why RMG continues developing new devices to solve some of these problems.

We have developed a new “Automatch” Prefeeder Uncoiler for the delivery of larger diameter wire and rod to the production machine using speed control technology for continuous feed. This improves blank length and volume requirements for today’s high precision cold heading machines by isolating the full weight of the coil from the wire required for the stroke of the production machine. This technology is so innovative we have US and International Patents Pending.

RMG offers complete OEM support for all of Fastener Engineers models including Tooling, Parts, Service and Technical information.
