5.4 Cutting head setting

5.4.1 Changing the chaser holders
When chaser holder replacement is required because of a change of thread

diameter, or to sharpen the chasers, chasers holder must be removed from the
cutting head.
 Open the threading head guards, the guard protection device will prevent
all threading machine functions until after the guard is closed,
 Slacken off the locking screw and pull back the pin to release the driver
kaw WEK on each side of the threading head, ensuring that you remove
& place aside the 2 brass driver kaw‟s,

 Slide back the cutting head outer ring by pushing it backwards, the chaser
holders can then be removed by first pivoting them out of the retaining
guides and sliding them forward off the guide pillars and out of the
threading head,
Cutting head outer ring
 Ensure that the threading head is completely clean before inserting the
new chaser holders, ensure that the new holders are inserted in the correct
order, each chaser is marked up 1 to 4. The order of chaser holder
insertion is not important, however, they must be fitted in a clockwise
sequence of 1,2,3,4, ensure that the holder and positioning number
stamped on the threading head back plate are the same (if marked),
DMT40-3B 15/03-EU Page 20 of 33

 Refit the yoke clamp arm, (appropriate to the chaser type being fitted)
securing them with the retaining screw. The screw for driver kaw WEK
can then be lightly tightened on each side, ensuring that the brass driver
kaw is relocated in the groove on the head outer ring before tightening
the screws and tightening their locking nut.
5.4.2 Cutting head stroke setting
 When changing between different chaser holders the open & closed
position of the threading head outer ring may need to be adjusted. This is
achieved by adjusting the yoke top pivot position,

Yoke top pivot
 Start by setting the open position of the cutting head, with the head open,
 Adjust the yoke arm adjuster to the required setting, so that the shift
guide blocks on the chaser holders are correctly positioned on the
threading head eccentric ring,
 Then check the cutting head closed position by selecting the <CLAMP &
HEAD CLOSE> button on the control panel, ensure that the button is
briefly pressed to ensure that the outer ring of the threading head does not
travel too far and over the end of the chaser holder shift guide blocks.
 Open & close the head to check the setting, ensuring that the eccentric
ring is positioned on the chaser holder shift guide blocks correctly.
 Once correctly set, the stopper blocks should not have to be adjusted,
however details of adjustment are given below for reference.
5.4.3 Changing the chasers
Chaser with chaser setting gauge correctly positioned
DMT40-3B 15/03-EU Page 21 of 33

 Removing the chaser from the holder: removing chaser from holder
loosen the two M10 fixing screws, it is then possible to remove the
chaser by sliding it forwards towards the cutting end.
 Chaser setting in the holder: After thoroughly cleaning the holder,
replace the holder clamping plate, M10 fixing screws, and chaser
adjusting screw with stop loosely in the holder. Now slide the chaser into
the holder. Ensure that the chaser number corresponds to holder number.
Now insert the chaser setting gauge into the chaser holder in which it
should fit perfectly. This tool is already modified for both vertical and
horizontal setting.
 Tighten the M10 fixing screws tightening the front fixing screw first in
order to avoid tipping. Moreover, it is advisable to retighten afterwards
the chaser back adjusting screw to ensure that it is in contact with the
back of the chaser. If the chaser should be used up to such a degree that
clamping plate is inclined to tilt during the tightening of the M10 fixing
screws, then it will be indispensable to add shim. This shim is profiled
like the chaser dovetail and can be applied in various lengths. A chaser
set in this way is now ready for cutting and the holder may be taken from
the setting attachment. It is further advisable to retighten the clamp plate
screws on the chaser holders after they have been installed on to the
cutting head, engage a low speed in the gearbox to assist with this task.
5.4.4 Thread diameter setting
 The diameter of the thread to be cut is set by turning of the eccentric ring,
setting is continuous.
 Setting is affected with the die head closed according to a thread sample
or a bolt corresponding to the core diameter.

Adjusting Pinion
Clamping
Screws
 To adjust the diameter it is necessary to loosen the clamping screws,

being situated on the front face by means of a hexagonal socket wrench.
Then the adjusting pinion is turned (clockwise to close the chasers &
anti-clockwise to open) until it will no longer be possible to turn the
thread sample manually, the clamping screw is then retightened. A re-
adjustment may be necessary after having checked the first thread being
cut using the supplied ring gauges,
 The scale on the outer ring only serves for finding a previously set
position or as an aid for fine adjustment of the thread setting.

The above table only shows the thread length for the standard coupler, this should be
checked & controlled by the use of length gauges supplied, the varying length
requirement of the other coupler types can be easily achieved by adjustment of the
threading length control block.
5.6 Front roller setting

The front roller is adjusted by turning the adjusting collar, clockwise to raise the
height of the roller, anti-clockwise to lower. The roller should be set so that there is a
small clearance between the roller & the rebar after clamping, as the roller is there to
assist the rebar loading. If it is set too high/low it could cause problems with
alignment of the rebar to the threading head.

 When the cutting length setting is reached, the head will automatically
open,
 Move the carriage backwards,
 When you reach the carriage limit switch the clamp will open
automatically and you can then remove the threaded rebar.
5.8 Troubleshooting threading

Faulty threads may be produced for a number of reasons:
 The correct numerical sequence from 1 to 4 of the holders has not been
observed. This results in a completely distorted thread or (if the holders
are inserted in the reverse order 4, 3, 2, 1) no thread at all.
 Chasers from different sets may have been used. In this case the precise
amount of offset between the chasers will not be achieved, thus resulting
in a faulty thread.
 The wrong setting value or grinding angle may have been selected. This
may result in the appearance of shallow thin threads whose roots are too
wide and whose flank angle is too small.
 Faulty threads may be produced although the mistakes mentioned above
were not made, for example if the material requires other setting values
or other grinding angles and top rake than those provided.

The table below lists a number of defects and their possible remedies.
Defect Cause
1 Thread is not concentric The four chasers are not adjusted to the same setting value.
The setting value is too small.
The material is not concentric or is sheared off.
The cutting speed is too low.
The top rake is too large.
The guide length is too short.
2 The pitch is faulty The pitch angle of the holder is incorrect.
The wrong holder is used.
The wrong chasers are used.
The grinding angle is not correct.
The setting value has not been adhered to.
The feed pressure is too high.
The feed pressure is too low or the slide offers too much resistance
3 Wrong flank angle The chaser is not squarely mounted in the holder.
4 The thread is too shallow The grinding angle is too smaller even negative.
The top rake is too small.
5 The threads are of poor quality, This defect angle can be due to the formation of a double cutting
the flank surface at rough edge which is often caused by selecting too small top rake,
The chaser is blunt.
The cutting speed is too high.
The coolant is unsuitable.
6 Continuous score makes on the The offset is wrong.
flanks of the threads
The chasers are not mounted in the corresponding holders.
The guide teeth do not engage properly with the already cut thread.
The chaser is broken or blunt.
7 Chatter marks on the threads The setting value is too small.
The speed is too high.
The work piece is clamped with excessive overhang.
The top rank is too small for soft material.
8 The thread is eccentric in The material is not clamped concentrically.

material.
The sideways are no longer square to the thread, I.e. to the axis of the
head.
9 Multiple threads are generated. The chasers are not mounted in the correct sequence.
Heavy feed pressure may result in the production of multiple start.
threads, when cutting fine threads of a comparatively large diameter.
10 The chaser jaws are broken. The diameter of the material is too large.
The material is not eccentric or is sheared off out of true.
The speed is too low.
