Carrage

The carriage is an all-steel, rigid, flat deck-type component arranged to mount a choice of carriage vise or special purpose fixture (At customer request). A hammer blow hand wheels, which intensity gripping power without operator fatigue, are used to operate the vises, is fitted as standard. A pneumatic vise is available at extra cost. Movement of the carriage on to and away from the die head is accomplished by means of a hand wheel on the standard machine(fig.1), whose stroke can be adjusted for operating convenience. Carriage travel, however, is dependent upon the equipment and tooling used. A Ballscrew version is also available, shown on the front cover. The pitch and speed required are via a simple data entry procedure into the operator interface. Extremely long thread lengths can be produced by re-gripping and passing the workpiece through the hollow spindle. (see above “Note”) The carriage front is adjustable, both horizontally and vertically, to assure proper work alignment with the die head. When necessary, this adjustment can be quickly made by loosening two bolts and moving the carriage front into correct position by means of two adjusting screws. Linear motion recirculating ball bearings and hardened and ground bedways are used to assure smooth effortless travel.

Coolant System

The coolant system is operated by an electrically driven pump housed externally on the bed of the machine for ease of maintenance and drawing the coolant from an eight gallon tank in the base of the machine. Delivery is by an adjustable nozzle to the cutting position.

Headstock Spindle

The headstock is of a box construction and of heavy cross-section. It is positioned on the machine bed to provide maximum rigidity and permanent alignment with carriage ways. A large heavy-duty hollow spindle is used on the TS400 Threading Machine and is enclosed in the fabricated steel headstock.

Landis heat treated die head

This unit comes equipped with either a 2 ½ or 4" revolving, external trip, yoke operated "R" Lanco Heat Treated Die Head as standard equipment. Sturdy in construction, this head also permits rapid set ups, gives trouble free operation and is easy to adjust. For cutting left hand threads, left hand chaser holders are required for the die head. However, the same chasers employed for right hand threading may be used for cutting left hand threads merely by grinding the proper cutting angles on the opposite end of the chasers. When these chasers have been replaced in their correct position in the left hand holders and the head opening spring reversed, no other die head changes are required.

Chasers

Landis tangential chasers are used in all Landis die heads. This tangential type design was pioneered and introduced by Landis. Through the use of Landis tangential chasers, a basis for true threading economy can be established as follows:- 1. Long chaser life is received between grinds. 2. The chasers are usable for 80 per cent of their original lengths. 3. Only a few thousandths of metal need be removed when regrinding. 4. When regrinding it is not necessary to remove the same amount of metal from the cutting edge of each chaser. Thus, if one chaser is damaged it can be reground and returned to service although much shorter than the other chasers of the set. It could also be replaced with a single new chaser, if necessary. In addition, a single set of standard Landis Chasers can be used to thread all diameters requiring the same pitch within the range of the Lanco Die Head. For example, M16 x 2.0 Thread can be threaded with the same chasers used to produce a M30 x 2.0 Thread. Other distinct advantages, such as natural clearance, variable rake angle and permanent throat provide better thread finish and superior thread accuracy.

TS400 Series Machine This machine is available to suite your individual needs, from a manual machine to fully automatic CNC controlled. It is the larger version of the TS200.

Transmission Speeds

One of the unique features of this new machine is its variable speed control via an inverter capable of producing infinitely variable speeds from 10 to 160 r.p.m.. it is powered by a 7.5kW. 1440 r.p.m. motor. (Thread rolling speeds differ).Note:- If the machine is required to cut threads greater than the traverse length a hand adjustable variable speed drive gearbox will be fitted.
