SIMPLEX RAPID A/2-S/93 – High-Speed Compression Spring Coiling Machine

SIMPLEX RAPID A/2-S/93 – High-Speed Compression Spring Coiling Machine

Manufacturer: SIMPLEX RAPID
Model: A/2-S/93
Machine type: Automatic compression spring coiling machine
Wire diameter: 1.0–5.0 mm
Maximum spring diameter: 85 mm
Production speed: up to 160 springs/min
Cutting system: Flying / rotating cut-off

The SIMPLEX RAPID A/2-S/93 is a high-speed automatic spring coiling machine designed specifically for the production of compression springs. Historical technical documentation lists the A/2-S/93 with a wire working range of 1.0–5.0 mm, a maximum coil diameter of 85 mm and a production rate of up to 160 springs per minute. I

A characteristic feature of the A/2 series is the SIMPLEX RAPID flying cut-off system. During production, the wire feed continues at constant speed while the finished spring is separated by a rotating cutting knife. This eliminates the need to stop the wire feed for every cutting cycle and was developed for high-speed, repetitive spring production. Historical patent documentation explicitly identifies the A/2-S/93 as one of the SIMPLEX RAPID machines using this system.

Flying Cut-Off System

The SIMPLEX RAPID cutting principle allows the spring to be cut while the wire is still being continuously fed. The rotating knife follows a circular cutting movement and separates the finished spring without requiring the feed mechanism to stop.

This system provides several practical advantages:

• Reduced non-productive time between springs
• Continuous wire feed during the production cycle
• Reduced starting and stopping of the feed mechanism
• Lower mechanical load on feeding components
• Suitable for high-volume production
• Reduced tooling wear compared with conventional stop-and-cut systems

The rotating cut-off principle became one of the characteristic features of the SIMPLEX RAPID A/2 machine family.
