  • Publication number: 20250205796
    Abstract: A thread-cutting die head includes a die carrier supporting thread-cutting dies, a cam plate coaxial with the die carrier including cam members displacing the cutting dies in a radial direction in response to relative rotation between the cam plate and the die carrier, and a locking system. The locking system includes a bushing, a die-locking arm pivotably supported upon the bushing, a positioning screw extending through an arcuate slot in the cam plate and the die-locking arm, the bushing threaded to the positioning screw, and a coupler coupled for co-rotation with the bushing and engaged with the die-locking arm when the coupler is in a first position, in which rotation of the die-locking arm in a first direction rotates the bushing in a tightening direction, imparting a clamping force between the bushing and the cam plate to lock the rotational position of the cam plate relative to the die carrier.
