Radial Thread Rolling

 
 
Radial Type Thread Rolling
 
In radial-type thread rolling one must differentiate two version.
 
Type E generates the thread being positioned by traversing axially over the component. The thread is produced in one single revolution of the rolls. The thread rolls are put in contact and radially penetrate into the component. The maximum thread length is restricted by the width of the roll.
 
The extremely short machining time for the thread is a great advantage. Production of threads having an extremely short thread run out is also feasible. Mounting possibilities for the E-Type rolling head are similar top that of the axial-type thread rolling head. Type EW functions like type E, but it features automatic initiation of the rolling process started by contact of the work piece with a trigger mechanism.
