Threads of the highest surface quality are produced in an unparalleled wide diameter range with the use of the Wagner axial thread rolling system. The large machining capacities of the individual rolling system types are made possible by the quick and easy replacement of the roller holders. These differ in working range and holder angle. Other forming operations such as knurling, beading, rolling-in and smoothing can also be carried out. The systems are suitable for stationary or rotational use.
