THREADING WITH CARBIDE THREAD MILLING CUTTERS

Producing and competing from Europe to the rest of the world, especially in emerging countries, motivates us to find innovative solutions to keep our manufacturing processes competitive in cost and cycle production time. Optimal production processes are basic requirements for European toolmakers to continue manufacturing around the world. The strengths of FERG strengths are the large know-how in the threading, the innovation, the quality, and the technical support service. All this advantages allow us to provide our customers with the best threading solutions on the global market. One of these innovative solutions to reduce the production costs are the carbide thread milling cutter, specifically the model BGF which gives us the opportunity to combine three (drilling + chamfering + threading) operations in one same cutting tool. The FERG BGF carbide thread milling cutters are made with the best European micrograin tungsten carbide for providing a high wear resistance and excellent tenacity. This kind of cutting tool offers us the opportunity to be used in large production series of the automotive components sector, Motorbike sector, etc ... With the modern machines and new skilled personnel, more and more these tools are used in medium series to reduce the machining time and increase flexibility to the manufacturing capacity. Examples of this are in the Railway sector, Aeronautics sector, Hydraulics components sector, etc... A large range of threading milling cutters are available for the short chip materials such as Aluminium, Aluminium - Magnesium alloys, cast iron, short chip bronze, ... The use of the Solid Carbide Micrograin Thread Drill Milling Cutters provides the following advantages: - the combination of three tools in one, reducing working cycles, improving productivity, and reducing tool storage; - reduction of tool changing times. The same tool can be used for threading blind or through holes. Reduction of setting times and machine adjustments. reduction of threading times due to high cutting speeds and feeds. A great surface finish with the precise dimensions can be obtained by the correct adjustment of the cutting parameters. - selecting the radial displacements of the tool, we are able to get the desired dimensions of the thread. - Exact concentricity between the internal and the external thread diameters is useful for threading difficult holes and complex pieces. BGF mills exercise a low cutting pressure, facilitating the threading of thin walls pieces. At present, if we apply the high-tech solutions to our production processes, we have the opportunity to optimize our tool store and reduce the environmental costs, providing us with efficiency and competitiveness. Do not hesitate to contact us; at FERG we are at your disposal to assist and solve your threading needs with standard or customized solutions.
