Efficient machining of threads in GibbsCAM using standard turning tools.
Highly effective for production machining of custom thread forms, buttress threads, rope threads, trapezoidal threads and cable drums.
If your shop is not running GibbsCAM, the new ThreadTracer WebClient will program any thread and machine using standard turning tools, directly in your web browser!
Your advantages with ThreadTracer :
Excels in machining standard transmission threads that cannot easily be cut by the conventional threading process.
Reduced machining loads - Machine large threads on less rigid machines. For example 4/5-axis Mill-turn machines are typically not as rigid as turret machines.
Minimize vibrations and bad surface finish in more demanding and difficult machining conditions, such as components with thin walls or threading internally with long tool overhang.
Cost-effective for prototyping or low quantity runs with custom threads compared to ordering tooling with custom form inserts.
Machine all threads with roughing and finishing passes. Using standard turning tools allows for a smaller contact area and gives you control over the cutting forces, thread surface finish and quality.
ThreadTracer are used by hundreds of shops and companies all over the world to effortless program, simulate and machine difficult threads in GibbsCAM.
Program, simulate and verify all material removal with accurate workpiece, tools and holders with GibbsCAM Toolpath rendering.
