Abstract

The paper presents the development of an algorithm for computing the sizes of embossing taps. There are defined: the area of the software program encompassing the types and range of threads (metric and unified of the UNC, UNF, UNEF and G types), the design of the working portion (the conical and curvilinear shape of the forming portion, the number of lobes) and the overall dimensions and the profile type (incomplete or complete) of the thread to be formed. The general description and operation of the computer-aided design software program are given. Examples of designing embossing taps with the use of the developed program also are shown.

Keywords

computer-aided design software; embossing taps; metric threads; unified threads
