LMT-Fete Tangential Thread Rolling Heads come pre-synchronized for efficient setup with no roll timing. Because symmetrical roller repositioning is performed with a central setting screw and away from the rolling system, operators can expect a 75 percent reduction in setup time. The 10-minute setup time applies to the initial setup and any time the thread rolls are changed out.
For improved versatility, the company has decreased the length of their rolling heads by 20 percent. This engineering move makes its thread rolling head suitable for use in CNC lathes, as well as screw machines. And, available in T120F, T160F, T220F and T350F models, the head can accommodate thread diameters ranging from 5/64" to 2". All models allow for adjustment from coarse to fine and extra fine pitch threads. The heads are also capable of threading 1/16" to 1" diameter NPT and NPTF pipe sizes.
