HEIDENHAIN CNC PILOT 4290 687
11.1 Undercut and Thread Parameters
Thread Parameters
To determine the thread parameters, the CNC PILOT uses the
following table;
Where:
F: Thread pitch. Where an asterisk “*” is given in the table, the
thread pitch is calculated from the diameter, depending on the
thread type (see “Thread pitch” on page 688) .
P: Thread depth
R: Thread width
A: Thread angle, left
W: Thread angle, right
Calculation formula: Kb = 0.26384*F – 0.1*÷ F
Thread backlash "ac" (depending on thread pitch):
Thread pitch <= 1: ac = 0.15
Thread pitch <= 2: ac = 0.25
Thread pitch <= 6: ac = 0.5
Thread pitch <= 13: ac = 1
