Machining Technology Thread Whirling

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the advantages and applications of thread whirling technology, particularly using the Schwanog WEP system. This method is highlighted for its cost-effectiveness and precision in machining threads, especially in medical and dental applications.
Specifications and Advantages:
  • Thread whirling is applicable to both external and internal threads, with significant cost reductions and precision improvements.
  • The Schwanog WEP system uses form inserts, ensuring high precision and reducing tool change costs.
  • It is particularly beneficial for machining bone screws and implants made from titanium or stainless steel, meeting high precision and finish requirements.
Procedure:
  • The cutter body is set up with the required helix angle and driven at high speeds by the whirling spindle, while the main spindle rotates at lower speeds.
  • The stock is fed through the cutter body and spindle, and once the desired thread length is achieved, the spindle retracts.
Key Benefits:
  • Increased productivity due to prolonged tool life and quick tool changeovers.
  • Superior surface finishes and burr-free threads.
Applications: The technology is crucial for high-tech applications in micro-surgery and orthodontics, where precision and durability are paramount.
Contact Information: Schwanog provides contact details for various international offices, offering support and further information on their products.

Machining Technology Thread Whirling-2

Cost Savings: Thread Whirling. High-tech applications in micro­surgery and orthodontics demand maximum precision and durability. As the specialist for insertable form tools, Schwanog is committed to continually finding ­ new solutions ­for special applications. The example of thread whirling when applied on implants made from titanium or stainless steel demonstrates how precision can be increased using the right tool while at the same time reducing costs. The demand for implants such as bone screws and plates in medical and dental ­ surgery has been growing rapidly for a ­ number of years. The...

Machining Technology Thread Whirling-3

Schwanog cutter body is set up using the required helix angle in front of the guide bushing (stock) and rotates at high speed. The main spindle rotates at a lower speed in the same direction. Thread whirling begins. The thread is achieved through a rotating motion of the C-axis and a longitudinal motion of the Z-axis, only one of the cutting edges is in operation during this process. The required thread length is achieved. The whirling spindle retracts radially and then axially thereafter. Take this opportunity and use our capability to lower your part costs and thus increasing your profitability....
