Landis Machine Tool Rebuilding & Repair

Landis threading equipment has been a cornerstone of high-volume threading for decades—both in modern CNC environments and in legacy bolt and pipe shops that still rely on heavy iron every day.

Our role is simple: help you get the most out of your Landis threading systems—whether you’re rolling high-strength fasteners or cutting pipe threads on older, mechanically driven machines.

Why Manufacturers Choose Landis Threading Solutions

Landis equipment is built for productivity, consistency, and long service life. Over time, even these robust systems face:

Thread quality or finish issues
Setup and changeover challenges
Wear in mechanical drive and feed components
Obsolete die heads or limited spare parts availability
Integration gaps with modern CNC machines and automation

The focus with Landis threading systems is typically on:

Achieving strong, consistent threads (rolled or cut)
Reducing cycle time and scrap
Simplifying changeovers across part families
Keeping legacy machines productive instead of replacing them
Integrating proven Landis heads and tools into newer equipment

Types of Landis Threading Systems in Use Today

We see two major groups of Landis solutions in the field: modern tooling systems and classic stand-alone machines.

CNC Thread Rolling Systems

Compact, chipless thread rolling tools designed for CNC lathes and Swiss-type machines.

Mount in standard turning stations
Use interchangeable bodies and rolls for different diameters and thread forms
Ideal where high-strength, rolled threads and fast cycles are critical

Stationary Thread Rolling Heads

Fixed thread rolling heads mounted to a machine while the workpiece rotates or feeds through.

Common on CNC lathes, transfer lines, and dedicated stations
Suited for repeat, high-volume production with stable setups

Revolving Thread Rolling Heads

Rolling heads that rotate around the part, often on multi-spindle or automatic screw machines.

Optimized for small turned parts and fastener production
Provide high throughput with consistent, formed threads

Stationary Thread Cutting (Die) Heads

Chip-forming die heads for external threads on bolts, studs, and pipe.

Used where cutting is preferred over rolling (material, geometry, or legacy reasons)
Mount to lathes, automatics, and dedicated threading machines

Revolving Thread Cutting (Die) Heads

Die heads that rotate, with the work held stationary or feeding linearly.

Popular on multi-spindle automatics and older screw machines
Provide efficient chip-forming thread production with quick-change tooling

Classic Landis Threading Machines (Legacy but Common)

Bolt & Pipe Threading Machines

Heavy, floor-mounted machines built specifically for cutting bolt and pipe threads.

Set up for standard bolt diameters and pipe sizes
Still common in shops producing anchors, studs, and construction hardware

Double-End and Multi-Spindle Threaders

Mechanically driven machines that thread from both ends or run multiple spindles at once.

Designed for high-volume bolt and stud production
Frequently paired with Landis or Lanco die heads for quick tooling changes

Dedicated Thread Rolling Machines

Stand-alone thread rolling machines for forming threads rather than cutting them.

Used for bolts, studs, and applications where fatigue strength and surface finish are critical
Often part of fastener and automotive component production lines

What Shops Aim to Achieve With Landis Threading Equipment

Whether the equipment is modern or legacy, the goals are similar:

Consistent thread quality – meeting spec on pitch, profile, and finish
Higher throughput – shorter cycle times, better utilization, less downtime
Reduced scrap and rework – especially on high-value parts or large runs
Longer equipment life – repairing and upgrading instead of replacing
Better integration – fitting Landis heads and tools into existing CNC or automatic setups

Across both modern tooling and older stand-alone machines, common issues include:

Threads out of tolerance or inconsistent finish
Setup taking too long when switching part families
Worn mechanical drives, slides, or feed systems
Limited availability of compatible die heads or rolls
Difficulty integrating legacy machines with current plant standards
