A CDRG Threading Machine—also known as a Roll Threading Machine—cold forms external threads on bolts, studs, rebar and special fasteners using a matched pair of profiled CDRG rollers. Unlike cutting, roll threading plastically displaces material to generate precise, high-strength threads with excellent surface finish and repeatability. Built for continuous-duty production, our machines enable tight pitch control, stable flank geometry and superior throughput for automotive, construction, energy and general engineering industries.
Working Principle & Process Flow
During operation, the workpiece blank is positioned between two synchronized CDRG rollers. Under calibrated pressure and feed, the blank is cold formed so metal flows into the roller grooves, creating the thread profile. The result is work-hardened threads with higher tensile and fatigue strength versus cut threads. Typical process: material prep ? blank chamfering & straightness check ? machine setup (center distance, axial alignment, pressure) ? roll threading with coolant/lubricant ? in-process gauging (PD, lead, flank) ? final inspection & packing.

Maintenance & Safety Tips
ChecklistLeoindustries
Monthly / Quarterly
Inspect CDRG roller flanks/radius for wear, chipping or micro-cracks
Verify center distance, parallelism and preload to avoid skewed threads
Maintain clean coolant/lube flow; check pump, filters and leaks
Operating Best Practices
Use straight, properly chamfered blanks; remove scale/rust before threading
Set pressure/feed per spec to prevent over-rolling and profile distortion
Handle/store rollers in padded cases; follow guarding and PPE protocols
Q1
What is a CDRG Threading Machine and how does it work?
It is a roll threading system that cold forms threads by pressing a blank between profiled CDRG rollers, creating strong, smooth threads without chip cutting.
Q2
Which materials and thread forms can be produced?
Mild steel, alloy steel and stainless; Metric, UNC/UNF, BSW/BSF, ACME/TR and custom forms based on your application.
Q3
What are the advantages over thread cutting?
Higher strength and fatigue life, better surface finish, faster cycle times, and zero chip disposal.
Q4
How do I maximize machine and roller life?
Maintain correct center distance and pressure, keep coolant clean, use straight chamfered blanks, and inspect roller flanks routinely.
Q5
Do you supply complete setups and custom tooling?
Yes, we provide machines, matched CDRG rollers, setup assistance and custom geometry based on your production targets.
