Threading Inserts
Threading inserts are specialized cutting tools used for creating precise internal and external threads on a workpiece. Installed in toolholders, they offer high accuracy, repeatability, and durability in threading operations.
Key Features:
- Thread Types: Available for ISO metric, UN, BSP, and NPT threads.
- Materials: Made from carbide, ceramic, PCD, and CBN for strength and wear resistance.
- Coatings: TiN, TiAlN, and CVD coatings enhance tool life and reduce friction.
- Insert Styles: Right-hand/left-hand, single-point/multi-point for different applications.
- Types: External threading, internal threading, grooving with threading, and tapping inserts.
Benefits
- High precision and repeatability
- Cost-effective with replaceable inserts
- Increased tool life with coated options
- Reduced cutting forces for smoother operations
- Flexibility across various thread sizes and materials
- High-speed machining for improved productivity
Applications
Used in automotive, aerospace, oil & gas, general manufacturing, and medical industries for producing high-quality threaded components like bolts, nuts, and pipes.
Conclusion
Threading inserts enhance efficiency, accuracy, and cost savings in machining. Their durability, high-speed performance, and adaptability make them indispensable for precision thread cutting in various industries.
