Abstract

The study shows that thread milling (including internal threads) is one of the most forward-looking technologies that offers max thread cutting performance. The reasons are the shortest cut-in path equal to the thread depth, and the full thread profile machining time equal to the period of one revolution of the workpiece. The paper highlights that thread milling is an efficient, general-purpose machining process. In this study, we solved the thread profile error estimation problem. Thread milling with parallel workpiece and cutter axis was investigated with a milling simulation model. The optimal thread milling tool parameters for internal thread machining were found. The method efficiency was proven by measuring undercuts and overcuts in pipe thread milling. For instance, the thread error (overcuts/undercuts measured flatwise to the thread profile) diametral compensation does not exceed 0.0268 mm while the pipe thread tolerance G1.25`` is 0.36 mm.
