Thread turning

OptiThreading™

OptiThreading™ is a method that uses tool oscillation movements to enable controlled chip breaking in thread turning applications. This unique method gives repeated interrupted cuts on all passes except the last one.
OptiThreading™ was developed for the CoroThread® 266 thread turning system. This method generates high cutting forces when going in and out of cut, for which CoroThread® 266 is the ideal system as it can withstand the high alternating cutting forces thanks to:

• iLock™ interface offering exceptional stability on insert indexing
• Inserts and grades with high toughness

OptiThreading™ is also suitable for T-Max U-Lock™ on smaller internal diameters and threads, with adjusted cutting data and increased number of infeeds to be able to handle the high cutting forces.

Key benefits of CoroPlus® Tool Path

• Allows for smooth implementation of the OptiThreading™ method
• Secure and optimal usage of CoroThread® and T-Max® U-lock tools
• Good chip control, no vibration marks and higher surface finish when using OptiThreading™
• Ensures the correct number of passes with evenly distributed cutting forces
• Speeds up operations and planning processes
• Provides the correct tool path and optimized cutting data, enabling optimal productivity, tool life and process security
• Compatible with various CNC machines that use ISO codes
• Provides automatic storage for your designed component profiles and can be used on desktops as well as on mobile devices
• Intuitive and easy-to-use interface
