They hold together everything from the most delicate watch to the largest bridge. The world is literally kept from coming apart by screws and bolts, and yet we don’t often give a thought to these ...

The diameter of a thread milling cutter is smaller than the drilled hole, and the cutter turns in an elliptical orbit to reduce cutting torque when compared with machine tapping. One of the most ...

Historically, the threading of holes has been a fairly straightforward operation, usually performed close to the end of a part’s machining. Once the holes had been drilled, thread taps of the ...

Translating rotary motion to linear motion is a basic part of mechatronic design. Take a look at the nearest 3D-printer or CNC router — at least the Cartesian variety — and you’ll see some mechanism ...

In response to strong demand for reliable machining solutions in the aerospace industry, cutting tool and tooling system specialist Sandvik Coromant has launched new tapping and thread milling tools ...

Inspection for bone screws is a complicated process. Using a thread gauge measurement approach may enable a streamlined manufacturing process. Controlling the manufacture of bone and pedicle screws ...
