Please make sure the Thread Rolling Head is protected and fastened approprietly when transporting. 04 Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 3.0 Product Specification Function The roll holders act as a mounting for the thread rolls. They are mounted in the body unit and lie up against the inside of the cam ring. The thread diameter is adjusted by manually turning the cam ring by means of the adjusting screws. Opening and closing of the roll holder system is effected by turning the body unit relative to the guide ring which is screwed together with the cam ring. It is closed by radially turning via the closing handle or closing roll. The locking plates engage and keep the head closed. The head opens by pulling the entire rolling head out and away from the flange. This way the locking plates are unlocked and the cam ring turns back again: The roll holders are able to swing outwards. The thread rolls release the thread, and the head can be retracted without any contact on the work piece. Manual pullout of the rolling head: The head can be pulled out manually by means of two bolts Ø 6 mm and two boreholes which are attached to the cam ring [300]. Applications All kinds of threads with a broad range of both right- and lefthanded profile sections can be produced using a variety of roll holders and thread rolls. Moreover, forming work such as knurling, crimping of beading and burnishing can be performed. If you have any such applications, please inquire! Adjusting screws Thrust bushings Roll holders with thread rolls Cam ring Body unit with Guide ring Closing roll Locking plates Flange Shank Fig 1: Main components of Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 5 4.0 Roll Holders Holder Table: see page 32 Inscription The roll holders (3 pieces per set) hold the thread rolls. They differ with respect to their diameter ranges and the integrated holder angle which is adapted to the thread to be rolled. Refer to the holder tables on page 32 for the exact applications, produceable threads and the relative roll sizes. We request you to inquire with us for any threads which are not listed. The roll holder designations are engraved in the front face, e.g. RA 27/56 – 4 – 1.5 Whereby RA 27/56 indicates 4 1.5 suitability for head type RS 27/56 diameter range holder angle in degrees Furthermore, the sequential number (1-2-3) is engraved in order to make sure the thread rolls are inserted in the right sequence. In addition, a set designation, e.g. K 69, is inscribed;only holder sets with the same designation are usable. Roll holders for left-handed threads have the suffix »L« in addition to the above mentioned designations (e.g. RA 27/56-4L-1.5). Roll holder designation -4 2 RA 1.5 6 7/5 3 Sequential number Fig 2: Roll holder inscription 06 Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 K 69 Set designation 5.0 Thread Rolls The thread roll is the actual form tool. The thread profile to be rolled is worked into the roll in the form of parallel grooves. A set consists of 3 thread rolls. Thread rolls for cylindrical threads with a symmetrical profile are normally insertable on both sides; i. e. rolls can be reversed and used at both ends. The first tooth of the roll has a lower profile than the final profile; the forming of the workpiece is effected in this section of the roll. Further forming grades are: A3 3rd tooth of the roll = full profile. The thread run out is one third shorter than at the standard forming grade. It should only be used for well formable materials. A7 7th tooth of the roll = full profile. The thread run out is one thread pitch (1P) longer than at the standard forming grade. It is recommended for heavily formable materials. Thread roll dimensions which partially differ may be necessary for various types of roll holders. Refer to the roll holder tables on page 32 for more detailed specifications. 5.1 Inscription Roll dimension Sequential number The roll designation is engraved in the front side. The designation contains form of the thread, thread pitch or threads per inch, roll size and manufacturing number. In addition to this the roll's sequential number 1-2-3 is engraved. On reversable rolls there is another engraving A-B-C on the opposite side of the roll. Example: I 35 R 27 M 2.0 Type of thread I 35 R 27 M 2.0 Set / manufacturing number; hence all 3 rolls in a set must have the same number. Roll dimension. Dimensions are specified in mm in the roll holder tables. Type of thread (here: metric thread, Pitch 2.0 mm) Set number Fig 3: Designation of thread rolls Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 7 Further possible designations for thread form and pitch or threads per inch are for example: UN 32 W 14 thread form as per US standard ASA B1.1, with 32 threads per inch Whitworth thread as per DIN 11, DIN 259 and British Standards, with 14 threads per inch. The roll size, thread form and pitch are also the specifications for ordering rolls. 5.2 Bearing The thread rolls are mounted on the roll bolt by means of carbide bushes or needles. Carbide bushes offer the lowest cost bearing since they themselves are subject to only slight wear and the roll bolts are also given a longer service life. Carbide bushes are utilizable with thread lenghts of up to 4 times the diameter. Furthermore, they can only be used if oil is being used as coolant/lubricant. They cannot be used in case of high deforming forces (e.g. Acme threads). Bearing needles can always be utilized, however, the needles should be renewed each time the thread rolls are replaced. Special attention must be paid in this case to the wear of the roll bolt, since such wear can jam the bearing. 5.3 Quality 08 The standard material for our thread rolls is high quality tool steel. For rolling threads on stainless steels we recommend nitrified rolls. For steels with a tensile strength of 1200 N/mm² or higher we offer rolls made of high-alloyed and specially heat treated tool steel. Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 6.0 Assembly 6.1 Assembly of the thread rolls When assembling, care must be taken that the set designations (e.g. I 35) of the three thread rolls correspond with one another. The thread rolls are assembled in the roll holders so that either the sequential number 1-2-3 is fitted towards the front in the respective roll holder or with the designation A-B-C towards the front in roll holders 1-2-3. The roll designation 1-2-3 is not identical with the opposite side A-B-C. Indeed roll 1 is designated on the rear face with an A, roll 2 with C and roll 3 with B. Special attention must be paid to this, if the rolls are inserted by their secondary ends. Before assembly, we recommend that the sliding surfaces of the bushes be smeared with Molykote-D-Paste or equivalent. Sequential number Carbide bush Fig 4: Roll holder and thread rolls Assembly with carbide bushes: Roll bolt Thread roll 2 Sequential number 1. Please push the bush into the roll. 2. Hold the roll with inserted bush between the holder's recess and fix the roll with the roll bolt. Fig 5: Assembly with carbide bushes Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 9 Assembly with bearing needles: For this purpose the provided assembly bolt is required. Place the thread roll on a flat surface and put the assembly bolt into the roll bore. Insert the bearing needles individually. The right number of needles must be adhered to (see roll holder table on page 32) The roll prepared in this way is then fitted together with the assembly bolt into the holder (as described above, »Assembly with carbide bushes«). Push the roll bolt through the bore. In doing so the assembly bolt is pressed out forward (see fig. 6b). In special cases double rows of needle bearings are inserted. Thereby a bronze spacing disc is placed between the two rows of needle bearings. A bush is used to facilitate assembly, this being placed on the base when the first row of needles is being inserted, and the spacer disc being laid on the bush. The roll is then turned over for the purpose of assembling the second row of needles, and likewise the needles inserted on the base. Fig 6a: Assembly with bearing needles 2 Fig 6b: Assembly with bearing needles 6.2 Assembly of the roll holders Please assemble the roll holders only in the »closed« head position. Adhere to the sequence of roll holders: Right-handed threads: Left-handed threads: 1-2-3 in clockwise direction 1-2-3 in counter-clockwise direction Thinly smear the sliding surfaces of the roll holders with Molykote D paste before assembly. The roll holders are fastened by a screw, the appropriate holding disc is integrated in the head and engages with a toothing in the holder stud. When inserting the holders, please mind that the toothing easily fits into each other. Please make sure that the holders are squeezed outwards by the spring force when releasing the holders. This is to ensure that the toothing is engaged. 10 Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 After that please tighten the fastening screw. Finally please check the free movement of the holders as well as the function of the thrust bushings, by which the holders are squeezed towards the curves of the cam ring: 1. Turn the cam ring out of position and make sure that the roll holders slide tangentially along the curve planes during and after the turning. 2. Swing the single roll holders inwards manually. The holders must swing back outwards due to the spring force. Threaded bush Spring pressure Locking screw Holding disc Fig 7: Components for assembly of the roll holders 6.3 Adjustment of the thread diameter Roll holder Adjustment of the head is effected most simply by means of a sample thread. The head must only be adjusted in closed condition until the sample workpiece is no longer turnable. Adjustment of the head is effected by means of the two set screws [301], after having loosened the Allen screws [305] and hence cam ring [300]. A graduation is provided on the cam ring. Twisting in the »+« direction results in an enlargement of the thread diameter to be adjusted, and in the »-« direction in a reduction. After the loose screws have been tightened a trial thread can be rolled. Inspection of the latter using an Aggra gauge, flank micrometer, ring gauge or other measuring device will show whether readjustment is necessary. If no sample threads are available, a bolt can also be used whose diameter corresponds with the core diameter of the thread. } CAUTION: The two set screws [301] may not be tightened excessively, otherwise distortion of the guide ring may occur, which will hinder its movability. Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 11 6.4 Adjustment of the thread length The thread length is limited by the opening of the rolling head. The opening process is initiated by feed stop. The opening stroke is 3 mm. Feed stop can be achieved by: a) Limitation of the machine's feed stroke, (e.g. by means of a positive stop or by stopping a ball screw) b) Internal stop on the thread rolling head In both settings take note of the fact that the greatest length is achieved when the rolling head is opened. When rolling up to a collar the possible thread length is determined by the front edge of the holder or roll. The feed stop must ensure that a feed movement will no longer take place. 6.5 Mounting on the machine Rolling Head Type RS 27/56 Shank size Incline a NC 30 NC 40 NC 50 18.5° 16.5° 16.5° Stationary thread rolling heads are normally clamped in the tool mounting by means of a shank, whereby care must be taken that they are precisely centred. WAGNER® supplies shanks in various diameters, both cylindrical and in NC-versions. The shanks are interchangeable. A device on the machine must be available for closing the rolling head. Several illustrations of the principles of mounting and closing facilities on lathes are shown on page 13. Special closing devices are obtainable for thread rolling heads from several manufacturers of turning machines. When making the closing cams take care of the fact that there must be not only a cam rise for the closing movement, but also a fall (approx. 5°) in order that the rolling head locks. The closing roll is mounted in a fixed position on the rolling head and is re-adjustable in the case of the NC-shank in 60° increments by remounting the shank. If these 60°-increments are insufficient, infinite adjustment is made possible by means of an additional closing ring with a closing roll. When remounting to a different position, remove the driver [78]. The output necessary for the thread rolling process may in this case not exceed 10 kW and the speed should be in excess of 800 min-1. Ensure that the fixing screws [501] are tightened evenly with a torque of 10 Nm. Fig 8: Normal position of the closing roll with a closed rolling head and NC shank. 12 Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 Feed direction When used on radial turrets the thread rolling head is closable by means of a closing cam into the position opposite the work spindle while the tool inserted there is advancing. Closing direction Closing roll Closing cam fixed This version is utilizable on multi-spindle automatic turning machines. This type is also possible on CNC machines with tool turrets, whereby the closing cam is firmly clamped on the tailstock/ sleeve spindle or is fixed in another way to the machine bed. Closing direction Closing during retract movement Closing cam fixed Tool carrier or turret Closing roll One possibility on CNC machines. In this case the rolling head is closed by moving the rolling head's closing roll onto the stop via the X- and Z-axis. X Z Closing direction Stop for closing closing by means of revolver which moves onto the stop via the X- or Z-axis. Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 13 7.0 Initial Operation 7.1 Rollable Materials The material must be cold-formable. The necessary elongation of the material is dependent on the volume of the deformation. For materials of up to 800 N/mm² the following applies: tensile strength of at least 7% for vee-threads tensile strength of at least 12% for Acme threads Elongation must be correspondingly greater with increasing tensile strength in order to economically roll threads. 7.2 Pre-machining of the work piece Equal in area Blank pre-machining is depending on the peculiarity of the material flow which takes place due to cold forming during thread rolling. The volume displaced by the crests of the thread profiles onto the rolls in the direction of the thread core must be equal to the volume inflowing into the thread crests. Therefore the premachining diameter required for rolling, corresponds roughly with the thread's effective diameter. The flowability of the material also being of significance. The precise pre-machining diameter is only determinable by trial and error. It has to be selected in a way that with the correct effective diameter, the major diameter of the thread is not over-rolled but only lightly rolled onto. b 2 a 2 Fig 9: Profile displacement with thread rolling: a ½ on the starting-Ø results in b½ on the thread-Ø The pre-machining diameter which has been determined in this way, is the maximum dimension. The acceptable tolerance towards minus represents about … of the thread's major diameter tolerance. If this tolerance is complied with, the major diameter will remain within the tolerance. Changes to the pre-machining diameter have an effect on the major diameter of the rolled thread of 3-5 times this amount. A change of a = 0.02 mm in the pre-machining diameter can thus cause, e.g. a change of b = 0.1 mm in the thread's major diameter. For the determination of the pre-machining diameter, we recommend to select the diameter equal to the desired effective diameter. By this means, a basis is obtained for rolling threads. 14 Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 For this purpose, the diameter adjustment of the rolling head (see 6.3 on page 11) must be selected in a way that the correct effective diameter is achieved. Depending on the achieved major diameter, the pre-machining diameter has to be corrected. The major diameter of the thread must not be over-rolled as this would cause overloading and subsequently lead to the breakage of the thread rolls. Thread crest rolled onto Thread crest over-rolled Fig 10: Thread crests At the beginning of the thread the work piece must be provided with a chamfer for the purpose of the thread rolls' start-up. The chamfer angle should be in case of vee-threads 15-20°, in case of Acme threads 10-12°. Chamfer angle for vee-threads: 15 - 20° Chamfer angle for Acme threads: 8 - 10° Pre-turning dimension <Core-Ø Fig 11: Chamfer on the work piece Depending on the thread pitch, the diameter at the beginning of the chamfer must be several tenths of a millimetre smaller than the core diameter. Subject to these prerequisites the initial pressure force is: Initial pressure force [N] ≈ Power output [KW] • 120 Thread rolling without a start-up on the work piece is possible with a special start design on the thread rolls. Please inquire for further information on this subject. Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 15 8.0 Operation 8.1 Rolling threads up to a collar By mounting the thread rolls in roll holders, threads can be rolled close to large diameter collars. Precise specifications are contained in the roll holder tables. By grinding out the roll holders (at maximum up to the centre of the roll bolt) it is possible to considerably enlarge the collar's clearance diameter. B Fig 12: Thread run out max. collar-Ø Major Ø of thread A x A: Collar diameter = external diameter of thread B: Collar diameter > external diameter of thread x x = thread run out 8.2 Thread run out The first tooth of the roll has a lower profile than the final profile; the forming of the workpiece is effected in this section of the roll. The standard forming grade at the start of the roll is A4. At this grade the 4th tooth is the first tooth with the final profile. Accordingly, at a three roll tool, this is the second tooth of the first roll. The standard forming grade of the roll has a thread run out of approximately 2.3 • P (P = thread pitch). Rolls with the standard forming grade A4 do not have a specific forming grade designation. An undercut is not necessary. Precise specifications and other run out possibilities are obtainable on request. 8.3 Feed for thread rolling Apart from the necessary initial pressure force, the thread rolling process must be initiated with a certain initial pressure feed rate. The initial pressure feed rate is calculated as follows: Initial pressure feed [m/min] = 0.001 • n • P n = Spindle speed [1/min] P = Thread pitch [mm] 16 Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 Feed for thread rolling Contact pressure as such can be effected both by hand and by mechanical or hydraulic machinery elements. In case of rigid mechanical structural elements (e.g. cams, ball screws) take into account that in most cases the workpiece extends due to the thread rolling process, and that the feed has to be reduced by this amount (5 - 10 % of the pitch). In case of long threads it is possibly necessary to adjust the feed during the rolling process to the actual pitch. However, the feed rate may never be greater than the pitch. At the end of the thread, take care that the feed is stopped by the opening stroke of the head (3 mm) earlier than the thread length, and that it must dwell there for an appropriate time period in order to make it possible for the roll holder system to open. In case of long threads or an uneven feed it might be necessary to enlarge the opening stroke of the heads. This can be effected by replacing the small stop plates with longer ones, which results in the above mentioned extended opening strokes. The latter are utilizable for the purpose of feed compensation. 8.4 Rolling speed In order to achieve material flow during the thread rolling process, a rolling speed of at least 30 m/min should be maintained. Economic speeds are in the range of 50 - 80 m/min. 8.5 Power output The power output depends on the rolling speed, the material, the profile form and the level of rolling of the thread. The power requirement can be calculated according to the following formula: N » C • P •Rm• v • 0.000056 [kW] C = = P = Rm = v n 1 for vee-threads 2 for Acme threads Thread pitch [mm] Tensile strength [N/mm²] = Rolling speed [m/min] = R.p.m [1/min] Turning moment: M = 9550 • N n [Nm] Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 17 8.6 Cooling - Lubrication Ensure an ample supply of coolant/lubricant. 1:10 - 1:20 emulsions and thin bodied oils, as are also used for metal cutting, are proven media. High pressure additives reduce friction between the thread roll and the work piece. They thus contribute towards an improvement in tool life. Good filtering of the coolant/lubricant is very important, in order to prevent foreign materials (swarf) to be rolled into the thread or settle in the roll bearing. The after-sales services of the mineral oil companies are also at your disposal for specific questions on coolants and lubricants. You should approach them where required. 8.7 Tool Life 18 Conditions for a good and economic tool life: Exact compliance with the pre-machining tolerances Compliance with the rate of feed Uniform, centrical starting chamfer Precise concentricity between rolling head and workpiece’s axis Clean and ample coolant/ lubricant supply Level of rolling of the thread (avoid over-rolling) Heed point 5.3 (page 8) for high material strengths and residue-free steels Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 9.0 Care and maintenance 9.1 Service intervals A certain degree of care is required in order to maintain the functionality and functional reliability of the thread rolling head. This means that the head ought to be cleaned and checked for possible wear at regular intervals. We recommend the first service after approximately 200,000 threads. Thereafter, the service intervals depend on the operating conditions, the maximum interval is, however, after 500,000 threads. 9.2 Disassembly of the rolling head It is expedient for maintenance to partially dismantle the head. Remove the roll holders and the thread rolls, before beginning to dismantle. 1. Unscrew the locking screws [305] as well as adjusting screw [301] and remove the cam ring [300]. Subsequently, dismantle the opening screws [71] and the pressure springs [73] underneath. Remove the body unit [10] together with the guide ring [30] from the flange [67]. 2. Clean the contact surfaces, which are now exposed, of adhering abrasive metal particles and other contaminants. Inspect the locking plates [37] and [69] for wear on their locking edges, and replace them if required. CAUTION: Take care when replacing: The locking plates and screws [38] and [70] are glued with Loctite 638! Excessive wear (rounding) of the locking edges can cause premature opening of the head or indeed completely prevent closure. 3. Please check thrust bushings [16] for function. If not easy-running unscrew shank screw [17] and clean. 4. If functioning defects occur within the twisting mechanism between the body unit [10] and guide ring [30], the twisting mechanism must be demounted. Check whether a mark is present on the flange side of the body unit and guide ring. This mark is necessary for the subsequent assembly. Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 19 Before going further it is recommendable to clamp the body unit in a vice. Please take care that the cover ring is not be damaged on the guide ring. 5. Unscrew countersunk screws [34] and closing bolt [35]. Twist the body unit [10] in such a way that the cheese-head screws [13] come into view through the boreholes for screws [34], and can be unscrewed. Should the clamping segments [11] be impossible to loosen, they can be pressed off using a M6-screw. A thread is cut into one of the two boreholes. Pull the body unit [10] out of the guide ring [30]. Remove the clamping segments [11], closing segments [32] and pressure springs [36] from the guide ring’s groove [30]. 6. Clean all parts and check for damage. 9.3 Reassambly 1. Oil all parts slightly. 2. Secure closing segments [32] by means of one screw [34] each in the groove of the guide ring [30]. Also insert the clamping segments [11] into the groove. Ensure that they are in the correct position in relation to the closing segments [32]. 3. Insert the pressure springs [36] between the segments. Remove screws [34] again. Twist the segments with the springs in such a way that the boreholes for the clamping segments [11] appear under the through holes for the closing bolt [35]. 4. Push the body unit [10] into the guide ring [30]. Ensure that the marking is in the correct position. Twist the body unit [10] so that the threaded holes come into view underneath the clamping segments [11]. Screw in the cheese-head screws [13] and tighten. Fix the closing segments [32] using countersunk screws [34]. To do this, first you have to turn the body unit back to the correct position. Screw in closing bolts [35]. 5. Check the function of the twisting mechanism, any absence of easy-running indicates twisted segments. This can be eliminated by means of a light blow on the body unit when the guide ring is in place. 20 Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 6. Place the body unit with the guide ring on the flange [67]. Take care that the guide element [63] is correctly positioned in relation to the groove. Insert opening screws [71] with pressure springs [73] and tighten. 7. Check the closing and opening function. 8. Mount the roll holder and cam ring [300] and check overall function. Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 21 10.0 Troubleshooting 10.1 Defects in the rolled thread Attribute Cause and remedy The effective diameter is too large/ small Cause: Tool has not been adjusted correctly to the thread diameter. Remedy: Chap. 6.3 »Adjustment of the thread diameter«, page 11. The effective diameter is not uniform. Cause: The pre-machining diameter has not been uniformly maintained. Remedy: Chap. 7.2 »Preparation of the workpiece«, page 14. The major diameter is too large/ small Cause: The pre-machining diameter is too large/ small Remedy: Chap. 7.2, page 14. The major diameter is tapered Cause: The threaded bolt has a bore, or centre hole. If the walls are too thin the thread will be compressed more intensively. Remedy: Make the bore after the thread rolling operation. The first few threads have sheared off, the beginning of the thread is »unclean« (1) Cause: In case of an excessively large starting chamfer the starting pressure force is too great. Due to this, increased wear on profile rolls [204]. Remedy: Chap. 7.2, page 14. The beginning of the thread is »unclean« (2) Cause: Starting pressure is incorrect (Feed force). At excessively slow starting pressure the thread profiles of the rolls [204] do not engage into the prescribed thread pitch, but only press into the starting chamfer, so that the material is hardened to an unacceptable degree. If starting pressure is too fast an excessively strong force is exerted on the roll profiles: In both cases there is danger of profiles breaking on the rolls. Remedy: Check and correct starting pressure. Thread flanks are flaking off or have a rough or patchy surface; threads are destroyed when rolled Cause: The material is not suitable for rolling, because it is too brittle (might has experienced unacceptable hardening due to a foregoing cold forming) High proportions of sulphur or lead which favour (short machining in the case of free cutting steel) Swarf and abrasives in the coolant: roll breakage if large swarfs Residues of lubricants on the surface of cold-drawn materials A surface which has been too coarsely pre-machined Remedy: Use suitable material Use a filter in the coolant line Clean workpieces before rolling Cleanly pre-machining 22 Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 Attribute Cause and remedy Thread pitch is not uniform Cause: Rough-running feed carriage Feed is not adjusted to the pitch Non-homogeneous material Remedy: Check feed carriage for easy running when subjected to a load Adjust the feed to the pitch Check homogeneity of the material The thread is incomplete and only partially rolled. Cause: Contamination or incorrectly adjusted tool Remedy: Check whether the rolling head is correctly engaged when it closes and clean if necessary Verify whether the set screws [301] (do not tighten!) and the cheese head screws [305] in the cam ring are perfectly tight, and correct adjustments if necessary The thread pitch tends unifomly to plus or minus Cause: Pitch angle is too large/ small Pitch errors due to material (mainly with tubes) Remedy: Replace the roll holders [201] with the next smaller or the next larger pitch angle Larger pitch corrections are only possible by using special rolls with a specially corrected pitch The pitch can also be influenced by closing or opening The thread has been overrolled (roll breakage due to a heavily overrolled thread) Cause: The pre-machining diameter is too large Thread diameter is too small Remedy: see Chap. 6.3, page 11 and Chap. 7.2, page 14. The desired number of threads is not being rolled: e.g. instead of a single thread, a double thread is obtained Cause: The 1-2-3 sequence of the roll holders [201] together with the profile rolls [204] has not been complied with when assembling them in the rolling head. In case of correct sequence, starting pressure is too fast Remedy: Take care of correct sequence of holders [201] and rolls [204] Use correct starting pressure (especially for fine threads!) Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 23 Attribute Cause and remedy Drunkenness in the threads (poor thread quality) Cause: Roll holders [201] with an incorrect roll holder angle leads to an increased load on the profile rolls [204]. (The holder angle has an influence on the thread pitch, which will lead to drunkenness and sinking quality. In case of fine threads the holder angle effects the number of threads) Remedy: Use correct roll holders [201] with correct holder angle (see roll holder table, page 32) Lengthwise brush marks on the rolled thread Cause: The rolling head does not open sufficiently, thus when pulled out, markings on the major diameter of the thread by the profile rolls [204]. Causes might be a heavily contaminated rolling head or a plastic deformation of the pressure springs [36], which are responsible for opening the rolling head. Remedy: Clean the rolling head. Check the pressure springs [36] and replace them if necessary. Long threads: The thread has been rolled one-sided or the thread bolt is bent Cause: Concentricity precision between the rolling head and the workpiece is insufficient. In case of marked deviation: danger of breakage for the profile rolls [204]! The starting chamfer has not been selected correctly, too much material is suppressed axially The material has internal stress Rolling speed too slow Remedy: Correct the concentricity between rolling head and the workpiece Correct the selection of the starting chamfer Before thread rolling, stress relief annealing of the material Increase the rolling speed (at least 30 m/min) The thread is incompletely rolled or partially overrolled, the threaded rod becomes bent Cause: Blanks with marked diameter deviations or bent blanks Using rolled material or forged steel with decarburized outer layers Thread pitch is incorrectly adjusted Incorrect pre-machining diameter In case of extreme overrolling danger of breakage of the rolls! Remedy: Correctly adjust the thread diameter (Chap. 6.3, page 11) Exactly adhere to the pre-machining diameter (Chap. 7.2, pg 14) Use suitable blanks 24 Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 Attribute Cause and remedy Elongation of the thread (profiles possibly Cause: Feed during thread rolling is not in compliance with the pitch: breaking on the rolls) } Pitch errors: A forward feed applied during rolling which does not comply precisely with the thread pitch arising in the rolling tools during the rolling process, influences the pitch. Remedy: Select the correct feed force (Chap. 8.3, page 16) Switch off the forward feed after rolling the first two or three threads in order to pull the workpiece through the rolling tools with as little resistance as possible. In special cases an extraction extension can provide a remedy. 10.2 Faults in the equipment Destruction of the needles [203], jamming Cause: Bearing needles [203] in the roll bearing do not have the prescribed quantity or are not flawless (Needles with brown of the profile roll [204] and roll breakage tarnishing on the tip are not utilizable). Remedy: When inserting profile rolls [204] always use a full set of flawless bearing needles [203] with a complete quantity of needles. The roll bolts [202] are very heavily worn Cause: The surface on the pressure face of the roll bolt [202] is being destroyed little by little by pitting due to being rolled over by the bearing needles [203] (not to be mistaken for bare pressure points). Remedy: Where this pitting, initially occurring in various places, forms a continuously destroyed surface on the pressure face, replace the roll bolt [202]. CAUTION: Danger of needle/ roll breakage! Roll breakage Cause: Overrolled threads Remedy: Adhere to the adjustment of the thread diameter (Chap.6.3) Exactly adhere to the pre-machining diameter (Chap. 7.2) NOTE: Thread profile rolling tools are not straightening rolls! Service life of thread rolls [204] are too short Cause: Rolling speed is too slow Thread rolls are inappropriate for application Remedy: Rolling speed must be at least 30m/min Use suitable thread rolls [204] Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 25 Cause and remedy Attribute Cam ring [300] cannot be twisted towards Cause: Adjusting screws [301] are tightened too heavily. Remedy: Check and correct adjustments. the guide ring [30] Profile rolls [204] are breaking off. Cause: The thread has been rolled over too heavily about the major diameter, i.e. it has been rolled with excessive pressure Upon initial rolling the rolls [204] were forced in too hard (starting pressure is too fast/ bevel angle is too large) The workpiece was not driven into the rolls centrically enough The rolls are jammed due to contamination of the coolant by swarf Swarf between the workpiece and the profile rolls Remedy: Check starting pressure and correct if necessary Check concentricity between the rolling head and the workpiece Clean coolant and remove swarf from the rolling head and the workpiece 10.3 Failures during operation The profile rolls [204] or the roll holders [201] run up against the collar on the workpiece. Roll breakage occurs. Cause: The limit stop for opening the head when it rolls up against a collar has not been correctly employed or adjusted Remedy: Check the adjustment of the limit stop and correct if necessary During rolling the workpiece is pressed Cause: Too small force to clamp the workpiece Remedy: Correctly clamp the workpiece back into the clamping device. The workpiece slips during rolling. The desired thread length is not achieved. Upon reaching the thread length the work- Cause: Workpiece is not clamped correctly piece is pulled out of the clamping device Rolling head does not open (Danger of roll breakage!) when the forward feed is stopped Remedy: Correctly clamp the workpiece Check opening function of the rolling head, clean head if necessary and exchange pressure springs [36]. The rolling head opens ahead of time or Cause: Locking plates [69] and [37] are worn out (roundings on the edges) does not open. Remedy: Check the locking plates [69] and [37] and replace them if necessary. 26 Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 11.0 Technical Data Rolling Head opening stroke Closing ring Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 27 Cylindrical shank DIN 69880 NC-shank Shanks RS 27/56 30 x 80 32 x 80 40 x 80 50 x 120 NC 30 x 55 NC 40 x 63 NC 50 x 78 D8 D9 80 30 32 40 50 30 40 50 D10 D11 D13 23.5 M251x 1.5 27.5 M28 x 1.5 R½” 16.2 25 32 – – 42 NC-shanks with connection dimensions according to DIN 69 880. 28 Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 L7 L8 1.8 8 17.8 24 L9 80 80 80 120 55 63 78 L10 – 13.5 L11 72 72 72 105 64.5 64.5 79.5 L12 – 16 – 12.0 Component Parts/ Accessories Thread Rolling Head RS 27/56 Part no. 737175 Part no. 10 11 13 15 16 30 32 34 35 36 37 38 63 64 67 69 70 71 73 75 78 Qty.
