Introduction to Thread Cutting Machines

A thread cutting machine is a type of machine tool used for machining internal threads with a tap. It is the most widely used type of machine tool for internal thread machining. The thread cutting machine avoids the limitations of lathes, drilling machines, or manual tapping, and is characterized by its time-saving, labor-saving, and less prone to thread damage, which has been widely praised and adopted by users.

SOCOJE thread cutting machines have a high degree of automation and are suitable for all mechanical manufacturing industries, covering machine tools, die and mold machinery, plastic machinery, printing machinery, packaging machinery manufacturing plants, engineering machinery, automobile and motorcycle parts, aircraft engines, locomotives and vehicles, tobacco machinery, and general machinery industries. One worker can operate multiple devices simultaneously, resulting in high production efficiency and significant savings in labor costs.

Thread Cutting Machine Process Flow

  1. Thread cutting adopts bus binding function, and the feed axis Z-axis is bound to the main spindle, maintaining the bound state during thread cutting and tool retraction to ensure accurate positioning and stable thread cutting.
  2. Thread cutting is carried out after drilling, and the depth of thread cutting must be less than the depth of drilling to improve the life of the drill bit.
  3. When drilling holes and retracting the tool, ensure that the rotation direction of the main spindle U-axis remains unchanged so that impurities such as iron filings can be completely discharged.
  4. Maintain opposite directions for thread cutting and tool retraction to ensure clear and smooth thread paths.

Performance Characteristics

  1. Adopt X-NET communication for motion bus: smoother acceleration and deceleration, faster response, and more accurate positioning.
  2. Easy operation and high efficiency of thread cutting: human-machine interface, simple operation, high efficiency, and low workload.
  3. High speed and accurate positioning: three-axis positioning, one-axis rotation, rapid thread cutting, and efficient cutting.
  4. Stable torque and strong power: safe torque chuck ensures less damage to the tap and durability.
  5. Large working range and stable thread cutting: large and small workpieces can be fixed on the base without moving, resulting in more stable operation.
  6. Timely and intuitive alarm display: automatic alarm and shutdown in case of abnormalities, and restart after troubleshooting.
