Compact thread rolling head

Developed by LMT Fette thread rolling division and available through LMT UK, the T270K Compact Tangential Rolling Head has a rigid construction for producing both left and right-hand threads. Threads can be rolled right up to a shoulder or collar on a component - parts with an extremely short runout, short thread length or taper thread requirement can be produced. There are four hub sizes that span the tool's range and fine adjustment of each of the two rolls around the axis of the component is simple, allowing setting and monitoring of the axial roller clearance within 0.05 mm. The pivot for the roller hinges, rolling head bracket and shank are now at the front of the unit, enabling it to be mounted either on a cross slide or turret, and overcome problems where machines have limited space available in the working zone, or where the tools are located.
