Thread table data

Thread table data

Thread table data

(OP)
Hello all

I'm currently looking at customizing our thread table to get rid of the stuff that is not relevant to our company and adding a load more. However rather than spend hours mooching through the machinery handbook, I wondered if any of you would alreay have the data in your tables that you could copy and paste in to a reply, to save a lot of time I have already found the data for BSP threads in a link as shown below, what I also would like to get are the following.

METRIC coarse
METRIC fine
SAE
UNC
UNF

Here is the BSP I found on another post.

RE: Thread table data

Here is an Internet link to some metric threads.
I cut and pasted their information directly into a spreadsheet a few days ago.
http://mdmetric.com/tech/M-thead%20600.htm

If this doesn't work I can pass on my spreadsheet to you.

RE: Thread table data

(OP)
Thanks Jerry

Are you pointing your EV to a spread sheet? Or are you pulling out jsut the information you require and adding it to a .dat file to satisfy the headings in the table I posted?

cheers

Si

RE: Thread table data

It would appear that you're editing the older thread table which is now only used by the Detailed Thread feature, correct? Note that most all of the information that you're looking for can be found in the newer thread data tables used for the Threaded Hole feature. Granted, they're not in a format which can be 'cut & pasted', but the data is already there.

John

I found the .xml in the modelling standards directory. Are can I therfore use this file to point the thread function to as well for external threads? Bare with me on this, as you are dealing with a rank amature when it comes to this type of config?

Best regards

RE: Thread table data

External Threads, which can only be represented using Detailed Threads, use the old thread tables. The new XML file is only for the 'new' Threaded Hole feature.

RE: Thread table data

John, when you say "Detailed thread" you mean "the Thread feature" ?
Since inside the Insert - Design feature - Thread, there is a choice "Symbolic / Detailed"
-I assume that both "Symbolic / Detailed" i this dialog use the old table.

Anyhow, i re-wrote the old metric table many years ago since the values for the metric threads were (probably) adapted to Inch -drills and not metric drills. ( i.e in the metric world we select a 5mm drill for an M6 thread and not a 5.1881mm drill.)

I then also... divided the table into preference "Preference class 1" and "Preference class other"
( Where typically M5, M6, M8 , M10 etc is in pref 1
and M5.5x0.5 , M7x1, M9x1 etc is in "Preference other")



Regards, Tomas

RE: Thread table data

Yes, you're correct, I should said the 'traditional' Thread Feature (as opposed to the newer Threaded-Hole feature) in both it's 'Symbolic' and 'Detailed' manifestations.

BTW, welcome back. You've been 'missing in action' for awhile and was hoping that nothing untoward had occured.

Thanks John. I have had a long vacation with my kids, that simple. smile

What ever happened to Hudson888? He used to be on here all the time and helped me out a lot, but I haven't seen him for years.

Best regards

Simon NX7.5.4.4 MP5 - TC 8 www.jcb.com

RE: Thread table data

Yes, I've wondered the same thing.

According to the Eng-Tips records, Hudson888 made his last post on September 1, 2011, however the records do show that he last logged into Eng-Tips this past August (August 3, 2012 to be exact).
