Boehlerit, the Styrian carbide and tool specialist, has entered into a worldwide sales cooperation (with the exception of Germany) for thread rolling systems with Wagner Tooling Systems Baublies GmbH of Pliezhausen, Germany. Thread rolling is an advanced technique for producing threads by cold forming the material under high pressure. Permanent plastic deformation is achieved, with thread rolling precisely displacing the material from the thread core and directing it towards the thread tips. This process does not interrupt the flow of fibres in the metal, but merely alters it to produce threads of high strength, profile and dimensional accuracy.
Wagner rolling systems are renowned for producing threads with high surface quality, tensile strength and load carrying capacity and are available in a variety of designs. The HELIX and RS axial rolling systems and the tangential rolling systems each offer specific advantages for different applications: The HELIX systems are compact and have large roll diameters, while the RS systems feature interchangeable roll holders. The tangential rolling systems allow efficient threading even behind a collar and can be used in the tightest of spaces.
Customised solutions are also available for optimum threading results. The systems are available in various sizes and are ideal for workpieces from M1.6 to MF75 mm.
