● Thread pitch in mm/revolution
● Thread pitch in inch/revolution
● Thread turns per inch
● Thread pitch in MODULUS

MODULUS
G
Change in thread pitch per revolution - (only for P = mm/rev or in/rev)
G = 0: The thread pitch P does not change.
G > 0: The thread pitch P increases by the value G per revolution.
G < 0: The thread pitch P decreases by the value G per revolution.
If the start and end pitch of the thread are known, the pitch change to be programmed
can be calculated as follows:
|P

- P

G = ----------------- [mm/rev2]
2 * Z

The meanings are as follows:
P
e
: End pitch of thread [mm/rev]
P: Start pitch of thread [mm/rev]
Z
1
: Thread length [mm]
A larger pitch results in a larger distance between the thread turns on the workpiece.

Machining
● ∇ (roughing)
● ∇∇∇ (finishing)
● ∇ + ∇∇∇ (roughing and finishing)
Infeed (only for ∇ and ∇
+ ∇∇∇)
● Linear:
Infeed with constant cutting depth
● Degressive:
Infeed with constant cutting cross-section
Thread
● Internal thread
● External thread
X0
Reference point X ∅ (abs, always diameter)
mm
Z0
Reference point Z (abs)
mm
X1
End point of the thread ∅ (abs) or thread length (inc)
Incremental dimensions: The sign is also evaluated.
mm
LW
or
LW2
or
LW2 = LR
Thread advance (inc)
The starting point for the thread is the reference point (X0, Z0) brought forward by the
thread advance W. The thread advance can be used if you wish to begin the indi‐
vidual cuts slightly earlier in order to also produce a precise start of thread.
Thread run-in (inc)
The thread run-in can be used if you cannot approach the thread from the side and
instead have to insert the tool into the material (e.g. lubrication groove on a shaft).
Thread run-in = thread run-out (inc)
