Threading - Turning

This threading operation generates a cylindrical or a conical threading while the profile threading can can follow an evolutive profile.

Key Points

You can define threading on a complete element or define a blind threading.
several types of infeed are given: flank, incremental, radial, opposite flank.
the machining depth and number of passes is calculated automatically by respect of ISO standard according to the pitch and number of threads.
When the threading is defined on slopes, you can define:
- a direct return (Normal option)
- a safe return (Horizontal option).
