Bahlow holds a patent for a "Fastener manufacturing assembly and method." This invention presents an assembly and method for continuously manufacturing fasteners. The die press, actuated at a first speed, receives contoured wire into a die that features a piercing element for creating an aperture and a cutting element for severing a fastener from the wire. A guide receives the fasteners from the die press, while a drive unit engages the fasteners oriented by the guide and conveys them to an elevated height relative to a tapping device. The guide redirects the fasteners via a first router, allowing them to be gravity-fed into the router and redirected to one of the tapping devices. Each tapping device is equipped with a tapping element for forming internal ribs in the aperture of the fastener, and they actuate at a second speed that is generally equal to the first speed of the die press.
