Thread Whirling

Thread whirling is a high-precision process used to form internal and external threads, especially on long or difficult-to-machine parts. It ensures excellent surface finish and geometry, even on challenging materials.

Used in sectors such as aerospace, medical, and industrial manufacturing, our advanced Gleason equipment is capable of cutting complex forms and custom threads with unmatched consistency.

External Threading

Used to machine screws, bolts, and leadscrews with large pitches or multi-start forms. Ideal for power screws in heavy-duty applications. The tool rotates around the part, synchronised to deliver optimal geometry.

Internal Threading

Machining of internal threads in deep or narrow areas. Used in specialised parts for aerospace, hydraulics, and medical components where accuracy is essential.

Benefits

• Deep access: Cuts threads where traditional taps cannot reach.
• Material strength: Effective on titanium, Inconel, and other hard materials.
• Profile control: Consistent lead, depth, and pitch.
• Efficient production: Suited to batch and high-volume runs.
