Thread cutting
Where form and function are connected in the details
Thread cutting for steel and metals
A thread is more than just a connection – it is the invisible link between components, forces and movements. At the Wickeder Group, cutting and forming threads is an integral part of precision manufacturing. Process control, tool geometry and material expertise work together with precision – for repeatable results with consistent quality.
Processes & Technologies
Whether cutting, forming or milling threads – the Wickeder Group masters all processes to manufacture metallic internal and external threads precisely and reproducibly. Every step is integrated into the CNC process and runs under constant monitoring – ensuring consistent quality in both series production and single-part manufacturing.
- CNC-assisted thread cutting with high repeatability
- Thread forming in a single program run – without material removal and with optimised surface finish
- Machining ranges from M3 to M20 for fine and robust connections
- Automated tool monitoring for dimensional accuracy and process reliability
Materials & Applications
In thread production at the Wickeder Group, steels, stainless steels, aluminium, copper, brass and special alloys are machined – each with adapted cutting speed, lubrication and tool geometry. This precise coordination ensures burr-free edges, clean flanks and long-lasting fits.
Our threads are used in electrical engineering, mechanical and plant engineering, precision engineering, medical technology, and energy and equipment technology – wherever precision in the details makes the difference.
Key features of CNC bending technology
- Use of angle sensors for angle correction
- High axis dynamics
- Optical setup aids
- Graphical user interface for intuitive and user-friendly programming
- Graphical bending simulation for error correction
- Use of universal bending tools enables short setup times
- Use of automatic bending centers enables maximum efficiency and competitiveness
- Scratch reduction through the use of rotary bending tools
- Component weights up to 20 kg
Manufacturing and Quality
During the machining process, all production steps are digitally monitored and documented. Tool wear, torque and cutting parameters are continuously checked to ensure consistent results.
- Process-monitored CNC systems for consistent thread quality
- Automatic tool compensation to minimise tolerance deviations
- Inline inspection of thread depth and flank quality
- Complete traceability across every batch
The result is threads with a perfect fit – permanently load-bearing and precise down to the last detail.
