Threading machine - new equipment in the industry

At present, each machine-building enterprise has a certain amount of special technological equipment, the reliability and accuracy of which will depend on the quality of the products and the volume of production. The machine is thread-cutting, any model and configuration, also refers to the technological equipment. New more modern machines are on sale annually, and each subsequent generation differs from the previous one by a more sophisticated tooling system and an increase in the number of auxiliary devices.

Threading machine is a high-performance thread cutting equipment , which, depending on the type of cutting tool and the nature of its working movements relative to the workpiece, is divided into several basic types, for example, vertical and horizontal. Thread cutting machines can be of different models, differing operating modes, dimensions and technical characteristics. The most common type is a drilling and threading machine with automatic or semi-automatic operation.

The thread-cutting machine differs from any other thread-cutting equipment, for example, screw-cutting or drilling machines, in that the thread cutting function is either single or basic. Depending on the weight and dimensions, the threading machines can be used in different places. A small thread-cutting lathe of desktop type is usually used at home, on construction sites, in repair shops, in single-piece and small-scale production. The possibilities of this type of machine are very limited - it has small ranges of threading, low tool rotation speed and low power. But such a compact and lightweight equipment is easy to move, and the cost of such a machine is very attractive, so for small volumes of production, a tabletop threading machine is ideal.

Industrial threading machines, which are mainly used for mass production and mass production, are characterized by large dimensions and high productivity. Such equipment must be rigidly attached to the foundation, which causes additional problems, and the price of the machine is much higher than its desktop counterpart. But industrial threading machines have higher power and productivity, which allows processing a large number of parts. In addition, with such equipment, it is possible to cut the threads on large-sized parts, which is impossible with machines of a more lightweight configuration.

When buying a threading machine, as well as any other process equipment, it should be remembered that the accuracy of the machined parts will depend on the health of all elements of the machine - the cutting tool, the gearbox, the coolant supply device, the mandrel, etc. Therefore, after a certain period of time (every year or more), the equipment must pass a test for technological accuracy.
