Thread production using the new tool unit for thread whirling from heimatec
heimatec is extending its product portfolio with its own tool unit for thread whirling. The tool unit for thread whirling has its own strengths in the manufacture of challenging threads. Designed for the manufacture of so-called “bone screws” made from titanium, which place greater demands upon finish quality and absence of burr, the tool unit for thread whirling can also be implemented for other thread working, such as, for example, implants, feed screws and other thread components.
Gradient angles of up to 25° on threads and a cutting diameter of up to 12 mm pose no problem to the heimatec tool unit. Typically used on long part turning lathes, the precision tool manufacturer based in Ortenau, South West Germany also offers the tool unit for a variety of short part turning machinery. Manufacture of the thread occurs in a passageway and thereby increases productivity of the manufacturing process, when compared with other manufacturing processes.
The whirling unit has a newly developed quick-change system that allows the cutting insert carriers and cutting inserts to be exchanged fast and easily from the rear of the tool unit.
Cutting insert carriers are available with different cutting diameters, lengths and for different cutting plate configurations. The heimatec whirling unit is supplied without cutting insert carriers as standard.
Cutting insert carriers can be purchased directly from your preferred cutting insert manufacturer, who will produce them according to heimatec‘s individual specifications. With heimatec.Whirling, thread whirling becomes more precise, efficient and versatile - an optimal solution for complex production requirements.
heimatec.Whirling is available for a wide range of long and short lathes from well-known manufacturers and therefore offer a versatile range of applications.
