Today we would like to tell you some things about the wrench screws, their construction and application as well as the preferred materials, so that you know exactly how these screws can be used when buying them. Today, the areas of application for wrench screws are as varied as the hairstyles of some women. The use of wrench screws has been slow to really take off with the industrial revolution at the beginning of the 19th century. before that, the wrench screw was already present in some places, but the real breakthrough of these screws was only with the advent of industry. Only then did the demand for such fasteners increase dramatically and so the production of such screws had to be increased enormously. The industry then demanded so much from the screws that the corresponding machines had to be designed for them, so that productivity could grow with them. But we would like to add a little more in the last section. Basically, key screws are made and processed from two different materials. The cheaper variant is the construction steel key screw in its nickel-plated casing. This screw is made of mild steel and is thinly coated with a layer of nickel or chrome as a corrosion protection. Only in this way is it possible to greatly delay the onset of rust. However, it cannot be completely excluded. Due to the material, these structural steel wrench bolts can actually only be used indoors. The second and much more frequently used wrench screw is the stainless steel screw. This screw, with this material, defies most of the materials that surround us in nature. Here it is usually sufficient to use key screws of the quality V2A. If, of course, an application on sea water is planned and the humidity increases and the salt content also increases, it is always recommended to use the screws as an alloy of the quality V4A. Only this grade prevents corrosion on the high seas or use in the chemical industry, where contact with acids and alkalis cannot be ruled out. Now we come to the construction of a wrench screw. As the name suggests, this is a screw that can be tightened with a spanner. Therefore the screw got your name. The head of the wrench screw is formed with an external hexagon, so that the screw can be tightened or loosened with an open-end wrench or a ring spanner. Behind the shank there is always the thread, which is usually a coarse thread, i.e. a wood thread, in some cases also a metric machine thread or inch thread. Depending on how you want to call these screws.

The production of wrench screws
Many already know the wrench screws, but many do not know how such screws can be manufactured or what options are available to manufacture such screws. We would like to go into this in more detail in this article, so that you can not only install the wrench screws, but also know a lot more about them. Here we would like to tell you about the earlier, the older method and of course also the modern method, which is highly efficient and thus can increase the efficiency enormously. In former times, i.e. just a few decades ago, so-called cam plate machines were used for the production of wrench screws and also all other types of screws. These robust, purely mechanical machines were very demanding because each set-up process required the machine to be adjusted by fitting and setting the cams to the respective screw. This meant that changeovers were always associated with considerable effort. For this reason, ever larger batch sizes had to be applied to wrench screws, so that set-up on such machines was worthwhile. However, these times are long gone, because these mechanical machines quickly became too slow and the move to so-called CNC screwdriving machines had to be made. These machines, which work CNC controlled, are much more powerful and can produce many thousands of screws in a few hours fully automatically. This lowers the costs considerably and the price can drop significantly. The changeover costs are very low, because it is very easy to set up the screwdriving machines for the respective wrench screw. But what does such a machine look like and how does it work? Basically, these wrench screwdrivers always have a processing head that can produce the screws for the largest part of all working steps. Outside there is always the drum, which has stored the raw wire and wound it up on the drum as a long endless wire. This makes the machine absolutely independent in its production. This also reduces costs. The raw wire, which is usually made of stainless steel, is then fed into the machine and the chuck is loaded. The first step is to cut the length of the future key bolt to length. Now comes the first upsetting tool and produces the coarse head of the wrench screw. Once this has been pressed on, a further pressing head comes and presses the drive, in this case, the hexagon on the head as a finished part. With this the screw is almost finished. Now only the thread is missing, which is rolled, so that it is stable enough. To do this, the screw is rolled back and forth between two threaded plates under high pressure so that the hardened thread grooves roll into the shaft of the wrench screw. The last step is the washing of the screws and the removal of the oil, so that they can finally be stored in our warehouse.
