Using the method and software, manufacturers can fully optimize their thread turning operations. The module is available as part of a subscription to the CoroPlus® Tool Path, and is developed specifically for CoroThread® 266 tools and inserts. OptiThreading™ has been designed with these challenges in mind.
Successful chip control is the key to good component quality when thread turning. The chips can also get caught in conveyors, causing damage and equipment downtime.

Now, to enhance the software further, Sandvik Coromant has introduced a new module.Ī common problem in thread turning is that chips coil around robots, chucks, tools and components. The software generates NC codes based on cutting data parameters to secure the correct number of passes with evenly distributed cutting forces for optimal productivity, tool life and process security. Launched within the existing CoroPlus® Tool Path software, OptiThreading™ is a new software module that will help manufacturers overcome one of the most significant issues within thread turning - the risk of chip jams and their associated downtime.ĬoroPlus® Tool Path software offers programming support for external and internal thread turning operations. Sandvik Coromant has unveiled a new machining method that enables controlled chip breaking in thread turning applications.
