External Threading
External thread whirling is used to create threads on the outside of cylindrical components, such as leadscrews, bolts, and power screws. The process involves a ring of cutting tools that surrounds the workpiece. As both the workpiece and the whirling ring rotate, the cutters carve the thread's shape into the material. This method is highly efficient for producing precise and complex external threads with multiple starts or large pitches, which are often required in lifting devices and automotive applications.
Internal Threading
Internal thread cutting is an essential technique for machining precise threads inside bored holes or internal surfaces. This method is particularly effective for accessing hard-to-reach areas and machining deep holes, where traditional tapping methods may not be suitable.
Advantages of Internal Thread Cutting
- Access to Difficult Areas: Enables threading in deep or narrow sections where other tools cannot reach.
- Quality Threads in Tough Materials: Especially effective in tough materials like titanium or Inconel, often used in the medical and aerospace sectors.
