SpindleOrient-ThreadingApps How It Works
Thread Repair with Multiple Pass Thread Chasing

Milltronics' multiple pass thread chasing feature is ideal for applications to thread or re-thread pipe on our turning centers.  Job shops and oil field shops can benefit by salvaging damaged pipe threads.

This feature can be factory or field installed; available for Flat Bed Lathes ML16 through ML40 and Slant Bed Lathes SL 6, SL10 and SL12. Contact us to discuss whether this option can make a difference for your application.  Video shows part with damaged threads being turned down, extending threads.  Take a closer look.

Adaptor Converts Floppy Drives to USB on Milltronics CNC Controls  

As USB has become the preferred media for program and transfer and storage, 3.5" floppy disk drives are rapidly becoming obsolete.  

 

Milltronics now offers a hardware adaptor that that enables extended use of many machines that would otherwise have to be retrofitted with new CNC Controls to use with USB. Find out more.
