Regal Machinery unveils the pioneering multi-functional CNC thread milling machine – the world's first to seamlessly integrate thread rolling, chamfering, keyway milling, and slot grinding functionalities. A single clamping of the workpiece allows for the execution of tasks such as thread rolling, chamfering, and keyway milling. Remarkably, dual-lead threads can be processed in one operation, ensuring impeccable precision and optimizing efficiency. This state-of-the-art machine has secured patents and CE certifications from six countries: the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China.

The machine's design boasts an optimized inclined gantry structure, characterized by its high rigidity and limited deformation. This design choice dramatically curtails tool vibration during operations, which in turn elevates the accuracy of the workpiece and its surface finish while also prolonging the life of the tool. The incorporation of a hydraulic chuck paired with a hydraulic tailstock streamlines the loading and unloading process, making it swift and user-friendly. For manufacturers aiming for around-the-clock production, the machine can also be integrated with a robotic arm to facilitate automated material handling.

The machine's first tool turret is versatile, capable of processing a plethora of thread types: from single-start and double-start threads to CAVEX machining, tapered threads, and even stainless steel screws. Bolt shafts with 6, 8, and 10 slots can be processed thanks to the automatic indexing design, which negates the need for manual intervention. The result? A single clamping allows the completion of multiple thread processing tasks, safeguarding thread precision. Its cutting module spans from M0.25 to M10. Interestingly, by affixing a diamond milling cutter to the first tool turret, grinding slot operations can be executed, easing the industry's burden of stocking diverse gear grinding wheel specifications. This positions the machine as the go-to solution for businesses looking to upgrade their equipment for threads, index plates, tool holders, and even automotive and aerospace parts.

The second tool turret is equally adept. While it can chamfer threads, it also excels in processing keyways and multi-angle milling. Any chamfering done by the first turret can be swiftly corrected by the second, optimizing processing time and trimming labor expenses.

In practical tests, using material S45C, module M3, length 50mm, and a precision of 5μ/100mm for thread milling, the machine astoundingly completed the task in a mere 130 seconds. This stands in stark contrast to the 750 seconds taken by Japanese counterparts and the 646 seconds by German models. Such results firmly establish this machine's prowess, outclassing the precision of a conventional spiral milling machine and matching its pace.
