4 Common Thread Processing Method of CNC Machine

The thread processing method is not only the most common application of CNC machine tools but also one of the standards to test the machine’s precision. With the evolution of machine’s function and cutting tools, the thread processing method has continuously evolved. Let us introduce you the 4 most common #thread processing methods. This is a very practical post, so save it and #click the detailed description down below!

Thread Turning

he most important way to machine threads for lathes.For single tooth forming thread turning tools, the most common form currently is triangular thread turning blades; multi threaded thread combing tools have higher processing efficiency and are mainly used for processing pipe threads in the petroleum industry.

Tapping & Threading

For tapping, use a tap to process internal threads. Threading, use die to process external thread. Divided into two major categories: manual and machine, the thread accuracy depends on the accuracy of the tap and die.

Thread Milling

Using a rotary milling tool to machine internal and external threads on a fixed non rotating workpiece. Divided into single tooth milling and multi-tooth milling.

Whirlwind Thread Milling

The turning milling compound lathe is equipped with a whirlwind milling head, and the tool and the workpiece rotate at the same time. It is used to process the external thread of a long rod shaped workpiece or a small part. The thread can be completed with only one cutting.
