OSG introduces ThreadPro code generator software 07 December 2015

OSG USA Inc has announced the release of its latest thread milling NC code generator software – ThreadPro – which it says makes generating code for complex machining easier and eliminates the hassle of data entry.

OSG serves the fastener industry by offering a complete line of thread rolling, flat, cylindrical, planetary and trim dies. The company explains that the features of the ThreadPro software include simplifying the configuration of multiple paths, which was not adjustable before, to enable the easy creation of zero cut programs. In addition to multiple feed (machining at each cutting edge length) single feed (one pitch per cut) is also available, which is ideal for machining high hardness materials. Last but not least, with the capability to review machining trajectory, trouble free tool movement can be confirmed to minimise tool damage.
The new ThreadPro is available in twelve different languages and supports eight NC programming languages. The software incorporates ‘RPRG’ value to reduce set-up, machining time and achieve stable tool life.
