Profile threading

This cycle generates toolpath on a non-straight element or succession of elements. It can be any shape while the threading operation generates a cylindrical or conical threading.

Key Points

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.
