Top 10 problems with threading machines

 

Thread rolling is a popular and cost-effective method of producing threads on fasteners, rods and other threaded components. However, as in any manufacturing process, various problems can arise that affect product quality and production efficiency. We analyze the 10 main problems with thread rolling:

 

• Inadequate material hardness: When the base material is not properly hardened, it can cause thread deformation and poor thread quality.
• Insufficient lubrication: Lack of adequate lubrication can lead to increased friction and heat, causing thread surface defects and tool wear.
•  Incorrect thread diameter: If rolling dies are not properly fitted, incorrect diameter threads may be produced, which may not fit properly with mating components. 
• Thread tear: Excessive force or improper tightening can cause thread tearing or shearing, resulting in a damaged thread profile. 
• Cracks due to thread rolling: Overly aggressive thread rolling can cause cracks on the surface or inside of the threaded part, compromising its structural integrity. 
• Inconsistent thread pitch: Variations in thread pitch can occur due to issues with machine setup, worn tooling, or material inconsistencies. 
• Thread surface roughness: Poor thread quality can be caused by wear of rolling dies or improper tool maintenance, resulting in rough or uneven thread surfaces. 
• Material deformation: Excessive pressure or improper fit can cause deformation of the material, resulting in distorted threads. 
• Thread vibration: Vibrations or vibrations during the thread rolling process can be caused by poor machine maintenance, tool wear, or improper fit, affecting thread quality. 
• Tool wear: Worn or damaged laminating dies can produce poor-quality, inconsistent threads. Regular maintenance and replacement of combs are essential to avoid this problem.

 

Saspi threading and secondary operation machines have the best guarantees and provide high quality and precision of threading and dotting.

 

To solve the aforementioned thread rolling problems, it is essential to follow best practices, maintain equipment, use high-quality tools, and ensure proper training of machine operators. Periodic inspections and adjustments are necessary to maintain the quality of threaded components produced by the thread rolling process.

 

At Saspi, once the machine order is received, the necessary training is carried out for the correct use of the machine in terms of performance and safety. In addition, personalized monitoring is carried out with post-sales visits to avoid incidents and guarantee correct use of it.
