How Pipe Threading Machine Works

A pipe threading machine is a tool used to create threads on the end of a pipe. There are two types of threading machines: electric and manual. Both types use a die head to cut the threads, but the way they power the die head is different.

Electric threading machines use an electric motor to rotate the die head. The motor is connected to a gearbox that reduces the speed and increases the torque. The gearbox then drives the spindle, which rotates the die head. The die head is mounted on a carriage that moves along the length of the pipe. The carriage is controlled by a hand-held pendant that the operator uses to move the carriage and start the threading process. Once the die head has cut the threads, the operator reverses the carriage to remove the die head from the pipe.

Manual threading machines, on the other hand, use a crank to rotate the die head. The operator turns the crank by hand, which rotates the spindle and the die head. The die head is also mounted on a carriage that moves along the length of the pipe. The operator must move the carriage by hand and start the threading process manually. Once the threads are cut, the operator reverses the carriage to remove the die head.

Regardless of the type of threading machine, the die head is the most important component. The die head contains several dies that are shaped like screws. The dies cut the threads into the pipe as the die head rotates. The dies are held in place by a set of jaws that are tightened around the pipe. The jaws are also part of the carriage that moves along the length of the pipe.

In conclusion, a pipe threading machine is a tool used to create threads on the end of a pipe. It does this by rotating a die head that contains several dies that cut the threads into the pipe. The machine can be either electric or manual, but both use a die head mounted on a carriage that moves along the length of the pipe. The operator controls the movement of the carriage and starts the threading process either with a hand-held pendant or manually turning a crank
