      • Forming taps

      • Efficient and creative
        Thread tapping, as opposed to machining, stands out because of its higher process reliability as well as prolonged tool life. Faster circumferential speeds also significantly increase the economic efficiency of this procedure. A prerequisite for using forming taps is a tool break elongation of at least 8% and a maximum tensile strength of up to 1,400 N/mm2. The new modular HPF Max forming tap is an efficient partner for series production in the automotive industry and mechanical engineering. Its long tool life it made possible by a new carbide substrate, a new coating, and an optimized former geometry.

        The FormMAX solid carbide forming tap is made of a newly developed fine-grain carbide with an optimized former geometry. To further incease thread quality and tool life, the coated tool surface undergoes a special smoothing process.

            • Axial rolling systems

            • Success with system
              LMT Fette axial rolling heads have two to three, and in special cases up to six, thread rolls with pitch-free profile rings. The rolls swivel along their horizontal axis, so that the workpiece /the rolling head is axially shifted around the thread pitch with a full revolution. Since the rolls "traverse" axially over the workpiece, they can produce threads of any length and with diameters of 1.4 to 230 mm. Together with our customers, we have developed our axial rolling system even further. Discover our newest generation, the EVOline. Its modular design makes it easy to assembly and very reliable.
            • Radial rollingsystems

            • Achive success faster
              LMT Fette radial rolling heads were developed primarily for short threads with a very short run-out. They enable extremely short processing times with stationary or rotating workpieces. The LMT Fette radial rolling head traverses axially over the workpiece, independet of feed. With a release mechanism, the rolls penetrate the workpiece radially. The desired profile is generated with a single revolution of the roll. The profile of the rolls matches that of the workpiece being produced. The profile length is limited to the roll width.

              The LMT Fette radial rolling heads are available with diameters from 3 to 45 mm.
            • Tangential rollingsystems

            • Applicable indiverse situations

Their high-precision performance enables a short thread run-out and an extremely short threads, even between tips or bedhind a collar. LMT Fette tangential rolling heads have two rolls which contact the workpiece from the side. The rolls form the thread as they move perpendicular to the workpiece during the feed motion. The roll profile corresponds to the profile of the workpiece being produced. The profile lenth is limited to the width of the rolls.

              The LMT Fette tangential rolling heads are available with diameters from 1.6 to 64 mm.
            • Peeling systems
