Thread Cutting Systems

Flexible and highly precise
The Wagner thread cutting system is an axially operating precision tool that produces threads of the highest quality in a short time. It is available in stationary and rotary design.
The stationary thread-cutting tool is connected to the tool carrier, e.g. turret, via a tool holder. The tool moves axially onto the workpiece at a precise feed rate, cutting the thread in a single operation. When the feed is stopped, the opening mechanism of the tool is triggered. The chasers release the workpiece and the return movement in rapid traverse can take place. The tool is closed by axial movement of the closing lever or by a closing device.
The rotating thread cutting tool is flanged to the machine spindles or accommodated in a chuck. The control for opening and closing the tool is provided by an external control linkage or an internal tie rod.
ADVANTAGES
• By exchanging the chasers, different thread types can be machined with only one cutting system
• High efficiency due to regrindable chasers
• Short set-up times due to preset chasers
• Time-saving operation due to single cut
• High-precision thread chasers adapted in pitch and shape to the thread to be cut
• High flexibility on almost all machines due to commercially available tool holders
