TAPPING

We have in-house servo control Automate tapping machine which provide better production capacities with higher speed & better accuracy of threads.

We can offer repeatability in perfect thread formations.

We can also provide robust tapping on hexagon nuts after heat treatment upto grade 10 strength. This provides higher torque and better fatigue life for the nut. Sizes which we can tap start from M-24 to M-90 for hexagon nuts.

Machine is designed with Double Spindle Head which gives high production rate at the same platform with single operator, single motor, single coolant pump and double the production then in single spindle.

What is Tapping?

Tapping is the process of cutting a thread inside a hole so that a cap screw or bolt can be threaded into the hole. Also, it is used to make thread on nuts. Tapping can be done on the CNC, lathe, VMC, Automate or by hand.

We have inhouse tapping setup of 5 machines with different sizes of threads Tap. We can do Tapping in any kind of material like alloy steel, Carbon steel, Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Copper, Brass etc. Our Taps are very fine threads which gives world best quality of thread. We provied higer accuracy of thread as per standred requierd. We use high quality of threading Tap which we import from Italy, Germany & Japan.

Benefits of our Pitch Control Tapping Machine

  • All moving parts are hardened and ground for long life.
  • Safety Limit switch provided with stop machine mechanism. This is designed to stop an accident to occur and minimize tap breakage.
  • Hardened & Grounded Lead Screw controls the pitch, which gives precise and rapid production with high accuracy. This reduces the set time and increase production.
  • Main spindle mounted with manually adjustable safety limit switch.
  • Threads are never fractured or over cut due to elimination of excessive thrust force of feeding spindle with the help of Lead Screw.
  • Tapping strokes are adjustable for high accuracy automatic reversing which is especially important for blind hole tapping applications.

We can do different type (V-thread, square thread, Circular thread etc.) of threading –

  • UN/UNF
  • NPT/NPTF
  • BSPP (BSP, parallel)
  • BSPT (BSP, tapered)
  • metric parallel
  • metric tapered

The each thread quality checkd by plug gauges for higer Customer satisfaction. Below image show the standard threading dimension of thread.

TAPPING PROCEDURES

Good Practices
Using Tap Guides

Tap guides are an integral part in making a usable and straight tap. When using the lathe or the mill, the tap is already straight and centered. When manually aligning a tap, be careful, as a 90° tap guide is much more accurate than the human eye.

Using Oil

When drilling and tapping, it is crucial to use oil. It keeps the bits from squealing, makes the cut smoother, cleans out the chips, and keeps the drill and stock from overheating.

Pecking

Pecking helps ensure that bits don’t overheat and break when using them to drill or tap. Peck drilling involves drilling partway through a part, then retracting it to remove chips, simultaneously allowing the piece to cool. Rotating the handle, a full turn then back a half turn is common practice. Whenever the bit or tap is backed out, remove as many chips as possible and add oil to the surface between the drill or tap and the workpiece. Hand Tapping Procedure 1. Select drill size from chart.
