2. Characteristics and uses of thread rolling machine

Thread rolling machine is a kind of energy-saving, efficient and environmentally friendly cold
extrusion processing equipment; The cold extrusion process is widely used in the production of
important parts of aerospace, automotive parts, medical equipment, railway traffic and automation
equipment.

The cold extrusion process is a rigid extrusion of the plastic material by the machine at room
temperature, so as to obtain the physical shape and size required by the workpiece. In the process of
processing, no excess material is produced, saving materials; Fast processing speed, saving
production time; After cold extrusion, the workpiece has high structure tightness and better
toughness and tensile strength. Effectively improve the performance and durability of the workpiece.

Thread rolling machine is mainly used for processing various transmission and connection threads;
Including high precision triangle thread, trapezoidal thread, worm, spline and ball screw; Can also roll
straight grain, mesh; Calibrating, rolling and grooving the workpiece. The production speed and
accuracy of the rolling machine are superior to the cutting processing equipment, and the tensile
strength of the products produced is better than that of the cutting processing products; The rolling
machine produces rod materials and length workpieces, which is the advantage of it compared with
cold extrusion equipment such as thread rolling machine, and the accuracy is higher than that of
thread rolling machine. Combined with the characteristics of rolling thread, it is loved and
appreciated by the majority of process design and producers.

3. Introduction to the principle of thread rolling machine

TOBEST thread rolling machine TB-30S, TB-40S, TB-50ST, TB-70ST, TB-100S, TB-120S both belong to
two rollers hydraulic thread rolling machine, its working principle is the same, the following unified
introduction

The working principle of the two rollers thread rolling machine is that the rotating force of the two
rollers (that is, the torque force) combined with the pressure of the slider (that is, the feed pressure)
jointly cold extruded the workpiece, so that the workpiece is deformed, so as to get the shape,
performance and accuracy of the workpiece we want.

1 Two rolling dies are respectively installed on the left and right roller support, installed on the left
support for the fixed dies, can adjust the taper; The driving dies installed on the right support is
responsible for transmitting the rolling pressure.

2 The rotating force (torque) of the roller is driven by the motor gear box, the gear box produces a
variable speed, increases the torque, and is transmitted through the drive shaft to the shaft installed
on the roller seat, driving the torque of the workpiece generated by the rotation of the roller.

3 The right roller seat is responsible for feeding, and the feeding force (pressure) comes from the
hydraulic system to drive the hydraulic cylinder and push the slider to complete the feeding pressure.

4 The workpiece is placed on the support blade with the appropriate height, width and length of the
support blade to assist the workpiece rolling molding.

9. Hydraulic system

The hydraulic system is the source of feed pressure for the whole machine.

9.1 Working principle

The hydraulic motor continuously works to drive the oil pump, so that the oil enters the oil inlet
chamber of the cylinder through the electromagnetic reversing valve, and the oil in the oil return
chamber flows out through the throttle valve to push the piston of the cylinder to work; The piston
pushes the slider forward to realize the feed action, and the oil in the oil return chamber flows back
to the hydraulic oil tank through the oil return hole of the electromagnetic reversing valve; When the
tool is withdrawn, the oil circuit is switched through the electromagnetic reversing valve, so that the
hydraulic oil enters the oil return chamber of the cylinder, and the oil in the oil inlet chamber flows
out through the throttle valve to push the piston of the cylinder to work; The piston pushes the slide
back to realize the return action, and the oil in the oil inlet chamber flows back to the hydraulic tank
through the oil return hole of the electromagnetic reversing valve. The throttle valve is installed on
the oil circuit of the return solenoid valve in the oil return chamber, and the feed speed is realized by
adjusting the hydraulic oil flow rate.

9.2 Pressure regulating valve

It is a valve that controls the feed pressure. Clockwise, the pressure increases; Turn counterclockwise
to reduce pressure. Loosen the nut, turn the motor screw, adjust to the required pressure, and then
lock the nut.

9.3 Exhaust valve

(1) The valve is used to adjust the hydraulic cylinder of the machine when there is air; When the
machine is injected or changed for the first time, it is necessary to unscrew the exhaust valve to
exhaust, the machine hydraulic advance and retreat several times, and then tighten the exhaust
valve after draining the air.

(2) Warning: Do not open the exhaust valve when the hydraulic work is normal, otherwise the
hydraulic cylinder will not work normally.

9.4 manometer

Display of machine working pressure. When the pressure gauge is damaged and needs to be
replaced, tighten the pressure stop valve next to it. After replacing the pressure gauge, loosen the
pressure stop valve. The pressure stop valve can only be used when replacing the pressure gauge,
and it needs to be opened at ordinary times to avoid affecting the work of the pressure gauge.

10. Thread rolling dies installation

TOBEST thread rolling machine of the TB-30S, TB-40S, TB-50ST, TB-70S and TB-100S, TB-120S
according to the demand of thread rolling cone has two kinds of installation modes: roller centered
and cantilever installation (this is also our one aspect of the thread rolling machine is better than that
of any other equipment). Under normal circumstances, the roller is installed in the middle of the two
roller seats, so that the force is uniform to ensure the quality of the product. Cantilever installation is
generally a process installation method taken when processing short or small workpieces, and the
roller is installed at the front end to facilitate the loading and unloading of the workpiece.

10.1 Thread rolling dies installation precautions.-

(1) To avoid collision and scratching when the roller goes up the roller shaft, do not use hard metal to
beat the roller.

(2) The bushing should reserve a gap on both sides of the center before and after the front roller
seat, so that the bushing can normally rotate with the spindle. (as shown below)

(3) When the roller is not thick enough, the left and right sides should use the same thickness of the
roller washer.
(4) Try to ensure that the roler is in the middle of the roller seat.

(5) After the roller is installed, ensure that it is locked and cannot be move back and forth.

(6) The end faces of the two rolling dies should be completely parallel (measured with a ruler)

10.2 Method of install thread rolling dies:

(1) Ensure that the hydraulic stroke is adjusted to the front end, and the slider can be returned to the
last or safe position before the roller is installed;

(2) Loosen the fastening screws (1) and (2) of the end cover of the roller shaft;

(3) Loosen the "front bearing seat lock nut (3)" and remove the" front roller seat (4)";

(4) Install the matching thread rolling dies and the washer needed before and after the thread rolling
dies, and the roller is installed in the middle of the roller shaft as far as possible.

(5) Install the "front roller bracket (4)" and" end cover (2)", tighten the "spindle end cover fastening
screw (1)"

(6) Move back and forth to adjust the front roller seat, ensure that there is a gap on both sides of the
bushing, and then lock the screws.

(7) Check whether the front roller seat (A and B) is flush and whether the roller is loose.

10.3 Method of install thread rolling dies in front:

When using cantilever rolling (as shown below), the installation of the thread roller is basically the
same as above, except that the front roller seat needs to move a distance of the width of the thread
roller in the direction of the back roller seat, and then the thread roller is installed. Generally, the
rolling pressure of the cantilever rolling should not be too large, the width of the thread rolling dies
should not exceed 30mm, and the effective tooth length should not be too long, otherwise it is easy
to affect the rigidity of the machine tool and affect the accuracy of the product.

(1) Loosen the fastening screws (1) and (2) of the end cover of the roller shaft,

(2) Loosen the front bearing seat lock nut (3)” and remove the" front roller seat(4)"

(3) Install the matching washer (5)

(4) Install the front roller seat(4)

(5) Install the roller,

(6) Finally install the "end cover (2)" and tighten the" spindle end cover fastening screw ®"

(7) Move back and forth to adjust the front roller seat until the bushing leaves a gap on both sides of
the front roller seat,

(8) Lock the front bearing seat lock nut (3),

(9) Ensure that the end faces of the roller are flush.

11. Taper adjustment

To adjust the taper is to adjust the Angle of the left support to keep the diameter of the rolled
workpiece consistent after rolled. When it is found that the depth of the grain on the workpiece is
inconsistent, it is necessary to adjust the left support to achieve the effect of adjusting the depth of
the front and back ends. The method is as follows:

(1) Loosen all "fastening bolts" before and after the left support

(2) Loosen the left support tie rod nut ABCD according to the situation, the amount of loosening is
determined according to the size of the adjustment, and can not be loosened too much to avoid
affecting debugging.

(3) Adjusting the adjusting screw can make the left support adjust to the left or right, and the
installation dial indicator data can be easily adjusted to the appropriate size.

(4) Ensure that after the taper is adjusted, lock all the locking screws and tie rod nuts that the left
support has just loosened, and the correct way to tighten the screws is to tighten them at intervals in
turn, so as not to change the support during the process of locking the screws.

12. Installation of support blade

The support blade is a tool for auxiliary rolling thread and plays the role of supporting the workpiece.

Select the appropriate support blade:

The center height of the machine is 245mm, the center frame bottom plate plus the center bracket
plus the support blade height plus the workpiece radius should be equal to the center height of the
machine, according to the center height of the machine and the workpiece radius, select the
appropriate support blade. The support blade should not be too thick to avoid collision with the
roller in the rolling process, and choose a thicker one as far as possible under appropriate
circumstances, so that the support blade will have less force.

The center support blade is divided into alloy support blade and ball support blade, and the alloy
support blade is generally selected when processing fixed roll and short workpiece. Choose the ball
support blade when the rolling force is large or rolling through.

The ball support blade can reduce the friction during rolling.

Machine center height (mm) 110 160 140 170 190 245 300
Method of installing support blade:

1. First check whether the hydraulic stroke has been adjusted to the front end and whether the slider
has retreated to the safe position to avoid the hydraulic feed hitting the roller. Install the support
blade after installing the roller.

2. Install the blade as close to the left roller as possible without touching the left roller.

3. The center frame bottom plate (A) is responsible for the adjustment of the left and right directions,
and the center frame (B) is responsible for the adjustment of the front and rear directions

4. Adjust the base plate of the center frame before the test roll so that the support blade is in the
center position of the two rollers.

The calculation formula of the height of the center cutter plate is:

center base plate + center support + support blade height + workpiece radius = the height of the
center of the machine

If the support blade is not selected, the following situations will occur:

1. The support blade is too low, the workpiece will emit abnormal noise when rolling thread, and the
surface of the workpiece will be scratched or iron chips

2. If the support blade is too high, the workpiece will skip.

13. Adjustment of stroke

In order to achieve a limited range, the use of different size roller can be processed to different sizes
of the workpiece. TOBEST has designed two stroke adjustments in the diameter direction, hydraulic
stroke adjustment and slider stroke adjustment. The hydraulic stroke is mainly responsible for the
opening and closing distance of the right cone in the process of processing; The slider stroke is
responsible for adjusting the position of the slider, that is, the relative position of the cone on the
right support and the cone on the left support, and is responsible for the feed.

(2) The adjustment position on the left is the slider stroke adjustment rod, the right is the hydraulic
stroke adjustment rod, and the middle is the locking handle.

13.1 Adjustment of hydraulic stroke

The hydraulic stroke includes the working stroke and the empty stroke. The hydraulic stroke is mainly
adjusted according to the tooth depth of the product. Normally, the appropriate hydraulic stroke is
probably the tooth depth of the workpiece plus about 10mm.

Before adjusting the stroke, it is necessary to adjust the slide stroke to a safe position; Press the
"manual feed" to feed the hydraulic stroke to the maximum, in case of accidentally hitting the blade
during the adjustment process.

13. 1. 1 The working stroke is basically equal to the tooth height of the thread, the empty stroke is
the stroke of rolling the product back to the starting position, under the allowed conditions, the
smaller the empty stroke, the higher the production efficiency.

13.1.2 The maximum hydraulic feed stroke is 20mm (the travel distance of different models is
different), when adjusting, release the "lock handle", turn the "hydraulic stroke adjustment rod" to
increase or reduce the stroke of 1mm per revolution, which can be read by the indicator on it, each
1mm. Lock the "lock handle" after adjusting the appropriate hydraulic stroke according to the height
of the thread teeth.

13.2 Adjustment of slide stroke

The design of the slider stroke is to enable the rolling machine to adapt to different size of the cone
and process different sizes of the workpiece within the scope of the machine tool, and to place the
slider in a most suitable position; The correct value is the most front end of the slider feed when
working, and the workpiece is just completely formed.

13.2.1 According to the size of the roiler and the size of the workpiece, observe whether the slider is
in a suitable position, if not, you need to loosen the locking handle, the slider stroke back to the safe
position (that is, when the hydraulic stroke to the most front, the roller will not touch other objects
for the safe position).

13.2.2 Press the "hydraulic start button" to start the oil pump, and then press the "manual feed" to
make the rolling stroke feed to the front end.

13.2.3 Adjust the slider stroke handle and move the slider forward so that the roller gently grips the
workpiece wool.

13.2.4 Combined with the steps of determining the length of the roller teeth, flossing and adjusting
the taper, gradually adjust the slide stroke to the depth of the roller teeth to ensure that the
workpiece meets the mass production size. Note that if the stroke is adjusted too much, the size
should be returned to some more to eliminate the gap before feeding.

13.2.5 Relock "lock handle".

workpiece, and then press the "manual retreat tool" to hydraulic retreat tool, and then adjust the
slider stroke to move to 0. 1-0.2mm, and then press the "manual feed tool" to let the roller press into
the depth of 0. 1-0.2mm.

14.1.4 Adjust the machine to the "inching" switch position, press the "spindle start" to turn the roller
so that the workpiece rotates one circle or slightly less than one circle, refer to item 1. 2 of the third
point.

14.1.5 Take out the workpiece to check whether the depth of the thread line is consistent; If
inconsistent, to adjust the left support Angle to adjust the taper, refer to the second item of the
fourth point.

14.1.6 Check whether the thread lines are aligned; If not aligned, turn the "adjusting flange" on the
gearbox to adjust. (Loosen the 6 nuts behind the adjusting flange and turn the flange left or right to
adjust the position of the thread according to the actual situation)

14.1.7 Constant rolling does not need to adjust the roller shaft Angle, and through rolling adjusts the
roller shaft Angle according to the Angle marked by the roller.

14.2 Alignment of through feed thread rolling

14.2.1 First release the "locking handle" in the middle position by hand, then turn the adjusting lever
of "slider stroke adjustment" to withdraw the slider stroke to a safe position (the safe position is that
when the machine is started, the right roller of the slider movement will not hit other objects).

14.2.2 Use the hand to rotate the "hydraulic stroke adjustment" adjustment rod to adjust the
hydraulic stroke, the appropriate hydraulic stroke is about 10mm of the workpiece’s tooth depth.

14.2.3 After the adjustment is completed, press the "manual feed" to feed the hydraulic stroke to the
maximum stroke, adjust the slider stroke adjusting rod to feed the slider stroke to the cone just
enough to press the workpiece, press the "manual retreat tool" to withdraw the hydraulic stroke,
take out the workpiece, adjust the slider stroke adjusting rod to feed the slider stroke 0. 1-0. 2mm.

14.2.4 Then put the workpiece into the workpiece by pressing the "manual feed" at a depth of 0. 1-0.
2mm, the roller shaft rotation mode is converted to the "inch" mode, click the "spindle start" button,
until the cone presses the workpiece to roll a complete circle or slightly less than one circle (for multi-
head roller).

14.2.5 Check whether the thread lines are aligned. If not, adjust the flange at the back of the gear
box until the thread lines are aligned. Refer specifically to the steps for teeth.
(If the roller is a ring roller, need to adjust the front and rear positioning screws on the left mounting
plate to adjust)

14.2.6 Adjust the rolling through Angle according to the requirements of the product and the cone,
loosen the nut on the mounting plate, adjust the adjusting screw on the rolling through Angle ruler
for adjustment, and lock the nut on the left and right mounting plate after adjusting to the specified
Angle.

14.2.7 Put the workpiece on the support blade again to check whether the spiral Angle thread is
aligned; If not, you need to adjust the rolling Angle until the floss is fully aligned.

17. The interrelationship of equipment, dies and material

Equipment, roller and material are the three elements of rolling teeth. Thread rolling machine is a
mass production equipment, once debugging the quality of the products produced will be quite
stable; On the contrary, if the three element points are not well controlled, it will cause a lot of
trouble to debug the product. Often in the process of debugging, it is difficult for the master to
understand the relationship between these three elements, resulting in the embarrassing situation
that clearly is a good equipment because of poor debugging and can not produce a good product.
Here is an introduction to these three elements, clarify the relationship between the three, for
debugging to reduce trouble.

Equipment: Wire rolling machining can be understood as using the mold to extrude the required
shape and accuracy on the workpiece, and the cavity of the roller can be understood as the cavity of
the mold, the tooth shape of the workpiece is the product of the mold, so the thread rolling machine
has enough force, and the matched cone can be processed into a good product.

Thread rolling machine is a molding product equipment, cutting machine can through multiple
processing and multi-process to ensure the accuracy of the workpiece, so in the selection of wire
rolling machine as much as possible to choose a larger rolling machine, otherwise, it is difficult to
ensure product accuracy and stability.

When selecting a machine tool, it is necessary to select a machine tool whose transmission system is
a gear box mechanism, guide rail is a dovetail groove, and the overall appearance and mechanical
structure are reasonable. The transmission power of the gear box is good, and the worm gear and
worm gear of the worm gear box can not be repaired after wear, which affects the accuracy. The
bearing capacity of the square guide rail is far less than that of the dovetail groove and it is easy to
wear.

The roller has the grinding roller and the rolling roller, the grinding roller precision is high, the rolling
roller precision is low but the durability is good, of course, the material and heat treatment of the
roller are also very particular, the product precision is high, you need to choose the grinding roller,
only the precision requirements are less than 6g to use the rolling roller, the rolling cone durability is
more superior to the grinding roller. The material selection of the roller is generally M42 > DC53 >
SKD11 > Crl2Mov Each material has its corresponding heat treatment method.

Workpiece material, the thread rolling machine can only process various carbon steel, alloy steel and
non-ferrous metals with elongation greater than 10% and tensile strength less than lOOOMpa. Cast
copper, cast aluminum and cast steel cannot be processed.

In the process of adjusting the machine, often because the master does not correctly understand the
relationship between the equipment, the roller and the material, it is found that it cannot meet the
expectations and blindly move this, move that, and doubt here and doubt there. Lead to the real
problem is not found, misjudgment, affect product quality or direct machine failure, according to the
dialectical relationship of the three, here provide some suggestions for reference:

In order to produce high-quality products, we must first choose the right model, so that the machine
has sufficient rolling pressure to support the processing of your products. (Follow the
recommendation of professional and technical personnel of the manufacturer)
In addition to the accuracy of the machine tool, it is also necessary to choose a high-precision cone,
that is, the mold is high precision, and the product can be high precision.

Check whether the rolling diameter of the material can support the expansion of the dimensions of
the product, if the product requires high precision, the precision of the rolling diameter should be
higher, the accuracy of the general product requirements to reach 0.03mm, the precision of the
embryo needs to go to 0.01mm.

Rolling a long workpiece must have a good supporting frame, the workpiece flat, the workpiece does
not produce vibration, in order to process high-precision products.
