Thread machining
State-of-the-art geometries and coatings for maximum performance and efficiency.
The production of precision threads is one of the most demanding tasks in machining.
High dimensional accuracy, perfect surface quality and absolute process reliability are crucial – particularly when dealing with tight tolerances, difficult materials and high production volumes.
Applications
Types of threading
Thread turning
-> For precise internal and external threads in small and medium diameters.
Thread milling
-> For flexible machining of different thread sizes and pitches using a single tool.
Particularly suitable for demanding materials and complex geometries.
Thread tapping
-> Thread tapping involves cutting an internal thread into a pre-drilled hole.
Special threads & special applications
-> UTILIS offers customised tooling solutions on request for specific thread profiles, materials or production requirements.
