Instructions For Rolling Metal Calculator:
Please enter the information listed below for each of the processes – to compare radial thread rolling, axial thread rolling to single point turning and determine your break even points for the different methods using ROI principles. Based on these variables, we will determine the cost performance of thread rolling (both Radial and axial style) versus single point process.
- Hardware Costs: for attachments, insert tool holders
- Tooling Costs: Thread rolls, insert costs
- Tool Life: Number of parts produced with one thread roll or insert
- Process Setup Time: Time to install attachments or tool holders
- Cycle Time: Time to produce a thread
- Shop Rate: Cost of running an operation per hour
Please Note: The cost transition point calculator is intended for general information purposes only. We make no representations or warranties of any kind as to the accuracy, completeness nor suitability of the calculator, in any specific application.
