Thread manufacturing is the
process of creating screw thread.
It is a very important
manufacturing activity because of
huge demand of high precision
fastening devices and power
transmission system.
Thread Cutting.
Thread Milling.
Thread Grinding.
Thread Lapping.
Threading with EDM.
Threads produced by milling process. By using form cutter
(single form cutter and multi form cutter) threads are
manufactured on rotating work-piece.
When milling suitable:
For producing internal thread which are not suitable to cut with
tap.
Work on large diameter beyond the capacity of die.
In case of single form cutter blank is rotating slowly and
cutter is precisely moved along the axis of blank.
Threading is completed in one or more passes depends on
the depth of thread.
The multiple form cutter have several angular rows of
cutting teeth made by flanks.
Same as the single form cutter, spindle is set parallel to
work axis and this process is suitable for threads for small
distance.
Thrilling is the combined process of threading and drilling
by using specialised cutting tool on a CNC cutting
machine.
The principle of thread grinding is similar
to thread milling. Grinding is done by
using special dressed grinding wheels.
Grinding wheels may be of single rib type
or multi rib type and process is suitable
for hard materials for which other
methods of thread cutting is not possible.
Types of thread grinding
1. Pass over grinding
2. Plunge grinding
3. Centre-less grinding
It is similar to threading on lathe but single
point cutting tool is replaced with grinding
wheels.
In single wheel rib wheels turns again
rotation of work and axial motion is provided
with accurate lead screw.
Thread is not completed in single pass. Multi
pass are required to complete thread up to a
certain depth.
It is also known as transverse thread
grinding.
In plunge grinding, wheel is having
multiple ribs and it is longer than the
length of the desired thread.
The plunge grinding is mostly used for
short length threads.
Method is suitable when production is
more important than accuracy.
This process used to make headless set
screws.
Work is fed between regulating wheel
and grinding wheel where threads are
fully formed.
Production rate is 60 to 70 (13 mm
long) piece per minute.
