どのスレッドミルを使えばよいかがわからない。どうやって選定すればよい？ | オーエスジー

I don't know which thread mill to use. How do I make a selection? 

We recommend ThreadPro, an NC program creation software dedicated to thread mills.

By entering the screw you want to process, a list of tools that can be processed will be displayed.

Please follow the steps below to make your selection.

 

 

Step (1) Access the web version of ThreadPro

Launch it in your browser.

 

・ Thread mill NC program creation software ThreadPro (Thread Pro)

 

Step (2) Set the language and region

On the initial screen of the web version of Thread Pro, select Asia/Pacific from the Language/Region screen.

This ensures that only tools with article names that are available in domestic distribution are displayed in the list.

(If you select a different place name, the tool selection field will also display those distributed in other countries.) ）

 

Step (3) Enter the processing details

In ThreadPro, the first step is to enter the thread you want to machine.

After entering, click "Next" to display a list of tools that can be processed.

 

If it does not appear in the list, it may be due to one of the following Q&A.

 

 

Procedure (4) Tool selection

 

From the product names on the list, please refer to the catalog and select from the corresponding materials.

 

・ Thread mill tool selection table by workpiece material

 

* Depending on the shape of the workpiece, it is necessary to select from the protruding length and total length. On the tool selection screen, you can check the tool information by selecting a tool in the list.

 

 

Tip

Depending on the size , pitch and length of the thread, multiple tools can be selected

 

If you value efficiency, we recommend the solid type, which has a lot of number of flutes .

If you are looking for cost and versatility for machining threads of other sizes, we recommend the chip interchangeable type.

 

chip Interchangeable types and features are as follows.

 

Multi-point: Since multiple grooves are processed at one time, the load is large but the machining time is short.

For each pitch of the screw to be machined, it is necessary to select chip .

 

Single point: Since one groove is processed one by one, the load is small but the processing time is long.

Not only the outer diameter but also the pitch can be shared to some extent by a single chip .

This is effective when you want to respond to the runout of the tool, such as when the screwing length is long or the pitch is large.
