What is Whirling and Why do you need it?

By: Leistritz

As the only U.S. based source of thread whirling tools and machines, Leistritz uniquely combines leadership in this innovative technology with an extensive background in machining solutions for traditional screws, worms, extruders and augers. Utilized by itself, whirling can be used for cutting threads, screw forms, worms, etc. When integrated with other techniques, it creates a rich spectrum of total solutions. This could include incorporating whirling with milling, grinding, turning as well as material handling via automated systems.

Why Select Whirling?

Possibility to reduce or even eliminate expensive grinding operations

Improved cycle times, up to 3 times faster!

Precise thread profile accuracy, repeatability, and surface finish

Rapid tool set-up and workpiece handling

Eliminate costly disposal of environmentally hazardous cutting fluids and coolants

Environmentally friendly compared to conventional milling and grinding
