Tapping machinery is a machine that processes screws into metals such as steel, stainless steel, and aluminum plates, and is also known as a tapper.
Standard tapping machinery processes screws one at a time.
On the other hand, there are machines that can process a number of screws at a time, or machines that can be programmed to process screws automatically.
Tapping machinery is used to create threaded holes when processing screws in metals such as steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
They are used for a wide range of products, including hexagonal, square, flange, round nuts, bent taps, straight taps, flange nuts, bag nuts, and aluminum nuts.
Tapping machinery inserts a special drill-like tool, called a tap, into a drilled hole to create a threaded hole while cutting the material.
The tapping process requires the tapping tool and the material to be lubricated with cutting oil while being worked.
Although it is possible to do all of this automatically, some tapping machinery is equipped with a mechanism that automatically applies cutting oil to the tapping machinery and material for efficiency.
A digital counter is also installed to prevent the operator from forgetting to process a screw, allowing the operator to check the machine as he works.
It can handle everything from standard high taps to special carbide taps.
Servo control by a sequencer controls the overall speed, torque, and motion to enable highly accurate lead (pitch) feed tapping.
Shaft rotation and feed rate can be easily and accurately changed without replacing parts.
Some tapping machinery is equipped with a system to reduce tap runout during tapping.
Designed to be compatible with bent and straight taps in a single unit.
Torque trends over the entire tap life can be graphed to help analyze, control, and improve quality.
Online connectivity allows various tapping data to be monitored and stored in a remote environment.
Tapping data can be analyzed, set, automatically determined during operation, and automatically adjusted for efficient operation.
