  • Patent number: 9782820
    Abstract: A production method for an elongated semi-finished product. A continuously fed wire is rolled by a rotating roller. Along its circumference, the roller has a first segment with a roller profile that rolls a profile into first sections of the wire, and also has a second segment without a roller profile that is rotated contact-free relative to the wire. During the rolling of the profile, the speed of the roller is adjusted in such a way that the speed of the roller profile is the same as the speed of the wire. During the contact-free rotation, the speed of the roller is adjusted in such a way that a length of the wire corresponding to a prescribed length of the second section passes the roller contact-free. A semi-finished product having the first section and having the second section is cut off of the shaped wire.

  • Patent number: 9718115
    Abstract: The production method according to the invention for creating a thread in an elongated semi-finished product comprises the following steps: shaping, especially lengthwise rolling, of at least two lengthwise grooves into a blank and lengthwise rolling of a thread into the areas circumferentially delimited by the grooves. The distance from the beds of the grooves to the axis of the blank is smaller than the distance from the root of the thread to the axis.
