"Intelligent" solutions for thread milling

Millions are made, and made quickly: in many applications, the manufacture of threads demands everything from the tools. This applies particularly to the manufacture of threads by cutting. Modern machining centers can precisely synchronize the rotation of the spindle with the forward feed, in addition to which typical cutting speeds are significantly higher. This naturally has implications for the tools. LMT innovations, like the tap drill with the intelligent IQ-Plus coating, are ideally suited to these demands. In mass production fields, such as in the automotive sector, the IQ-Plus tap drills score with their significantly longer tool lives, maximum machining quality and guaranteed process reliability.
