The dual thread whirling units on Tsugami Swiss-type lathes can produce medical bone screws with two different thread leads in one setup, eliminating the need for single-point threading.

In some cases, medical bone screws have two thread leads. Traditionally, these might be machined with two single-point threading operations, or, one thread whirling operation followed by a subsequent single-point operation.

Tsugami/Rem Sales offers an alternate option on its S206-II Swiss-type CNC lathes that can be fitted with two thread whirling attachments. That way, both thread leads can be created in one setup. View the video above to learn more.
