Tapping Tool

Tapping tools in contrast with thread cutting
Tapping tools in contrast with thread cutting
Tapping tools are used to tap threads in a preprocessed hole, punch, or form. In contrast with thread cutting, no shavings result from this process, since the material is deformed during the forming process, not cut.

Your benefits at a glance

  • The surface hardens during deformation and can therefore withstand a greater load.
  • The dimensions of the threads hardly differ.
  • Formed threads are never omitted, since a preliminary segment of the first threads are avoided.
  • In soft materials, significantly higher speeds are possible than for thread cutting.
  • The threads are formed in a single punching stroke - additional work steps are eliminated.
  • The speed of the forming tool can be programmed, so that the forming process is controllable.
  • This ensures a high-quality thread on the one hand, and on the other this ensures that the forming tool is not overloaded past its limits.
  • The forming tool is lubricated directly.
