Introduction – CDRG Roller for Roll Thread Machine
A CDRG roller for roll thread machine is an essential precision tool used for the cold-forming of threads on fasteners, studs, and rebar. Unlike traditional cutting methods, roll threading displaces material, which strengthens the thread and improves its fatigue life. Our CDRG rollers, short for Carbide Donut/Ring Groove, are engineered from high-grade tool steel or tungsten carbide to ensure exceptional durability and consistent, high-quality thread profiles. These rollers are meticulously ground to deliver precise flank angles, pitch accuracy, and a superior surface finish, making them ideal for high-volume production in various industries, including automotive, construction, and general engineering.
Working Principle & Process Flow of Roll Threading
The process of roll threading involves forcing a cylindrical or tapered blank between a pair of profiled rollers under immense pressure. As the rollers rotate, the material of the blank is plastically deformed and flows into the grooves of the CDRG roller, creating the desired thread form. This cold-forming process not only produces work-hardened threads with improved shear strength but also a smooth, burnished surface that is highly resistant to wear. The typical process flow includes preparing the blank, setting up the machine (aligning rollers and adjusting pressure), the actual rolling pass with a suitable coolant, and finally, inspection to ensure thread pitch, major diameter, and profile are within specified tolerances.

FAQs — CDRG Roller for Roll Thread Machine
Q1
What is a CDRG roller and how is it different from a cutting die?
A CDRG roller is a type of thread rolling tool that cold-forms threads by displacing metal, rather than cutting it. This process improves the material's strength and surface finish.
Q2
What materials are used for your CDRG rollers?
We primarily manufacture CDRG rollers from high-quality tool steel (HSS/HCHCr) and solid tungsten carbide to offer different levels of wear resistance and performance.
Q3
What are the main advantages of using roll threading?
The main advantages are increased thread strength, superior surface finish, improved fatigue resistance, faster production speeds, and zero material waste.
Q4
Can your rollers be customized for specific applications?
Yes, we provide custom-engineered rollers tailored to your specific machine make and model, as well as unique thread profiles or material requirements.
Q5
How do I ensure a long service life for my CDRG rollers?
To extend roller life, it's crucial to use the correct blank diameter, maintain proper machine alignment, and use a consistent supply of clean coolant.
