Project report Thread Whirling

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document discusses the process of thread whirling, highlighting its cost-saving benefits and precision in manufacturing screw threads, particularly for medical applications such as bone screws.

Cost Savings and Precision: Thread whirling is presented as a cost-effective method that ensures high precision. It is applicable to both external and internal screw threads, achieving total thread depth in a single operation. The Schwanog whirl spindle, equipped with WEP form inserts, is used for this process.

Procedure: The process involves setting up the whirl spindle in front of the workpiece, rotating at high speed, while the work spindle rotates at a lower speed in the same direction. The workpiece is fed into the whirl spindle, and once the desired thread length is achieved, the spindle retracts.

Applications: High-tech applications in microsurgery and orthodontics require maximum precision and durability. The demand for implants like bone screws and bridges is increasing, necessitating high precision and finish in manufacturing.

Advantages of Schwanog WEP System: The system offers three main advantages over conventional thread milling: quick changeover of form inserts, increased tool life, and cost reduction by eliminating secondary operations like deburring.

Conclusion: Schwanog positions itself as a specialist in high-quality form tools, offering solutions that enhance precision and reduce costs. The document encourages contacting Schwanog for further information or inquiries.

The work spindle rotates at a lower speed in the same direction. 2 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 Schwanog whirl spindle's cutting edges is in operation during this process. 3 The required thread length is achieved. The Schwanog whirl spindle moves first back radially and then axially thereafter....
