<strong>CONSTANT</strong> <strong>SPEED</strong> <strong>TAPPING</strong><br />
For High-Production CNC Tapping<br />
Without Machine Reversal.<br />
Constant Speed Tapping relies on the<br />
compact tapping head to provide tap<br />
reversal. The machine spindle runs in<br />
one direction at the exact programmed<br />
speed and reversal occurs within the<br />
tapping head instantaneously upon machine<br />
retraction. Avoiding the RPM<br />
fluctuations,common to machine reversal<br />
tapping ensures these benefits:<br />
Reduces Cycle Time.<br />
Increases Tap Life.<br />
Improves<br />
Thread Quality.<br />
Eliminates Reversal<br />
Related Machine<br />

*For 7075 aluminum, tap<br />
manufacturers recommend<br />
90-100 SFM for cutting taps<br />
and 130 SFM for forming<br />
taps. Maximum<br />

How Fast Can You Tap A Hole Using <strong>CONSTANT</strong> <strong>SPEED</strong> <strong>TAPPING</strong><br />
A<br />
Here Is A Simple Calculation You Can Make To See How Fast You Could Be Tapping.<br />
Seconds Per Hole Calculation F 2 x Depth x 60 secMmin.<br />
Feed Rate<br />
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br />
Inch Taps Example Your Oob Metric Taps Example Your Oob<br />
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br />
Tap Size F 1/4-20 ________ Tap Size F M6 x 1 ________<br />
Speed F 2500 RPM ________ Speed F 2500 RPM ________<br />
Feed Rate F 2500 : by 20 = 125 inch/min ________ Feed Rate F 2500 x 1 = 2500 mm/min ________<br />
Depth F .50 inch ________ Depth F 12mm ________<br />
Seconds Per Hole F .R8 seconds ________ Seconds Per Hole F .58 seconds ________<br />
Now calculate using your own specific applications and compare with your current tapping cycle time to see how much time you can save when<br />
you eliminate machine reversal.<br />
Note: Time estimate based on using Tapmatic’s recommended Reduced Cycle Time Programming shown on page 27.<br />

Please contact our sales engineers at 800 854-6019<br />
RDTIC models come with standard nuts which allow some coolant flow through collet slots. To restrict flow to the coolant hole of the tap and seal the collet<br />
slots, the tools may also be ordered with a sealing disk nut. Please add "S" to the end of the order numbers shown below to specify tool with sealing disk<br />
nuts.<br />

* See recommended tapping speeds for specific tap size and work piece material. Charts included in instruction sheets.<br />
Do not exceed maximum speed.<br />
Seal Nut Option<br />
RDTIC models come with standard nuts which allow some coolant flow through collet slots. To restrict flow to the coolant hole of the tap and seal the collet slots,<br />
the tools may also be ordered with a sealing disk nut. Please add “S” to the end of the order numbers shown to specify tool with sealing disk nuts.<br />

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE<br />
Regarding Ramp or Exact Stop: Please note<br />
that the G code for "Exact Stop" or "Ramp"<br />
should not be used with a Tapmatic selfreversing<br />
tapping attachment. Please be sure<br />
that these are not in effect when tapping<br />
because they will cause the tapping cycle time<br />
to be significantly slower and thread depth<br />
repeatability to be less accurate.<br />
Fadal Machines: Use G8 to cancel the Ramp<br />
for tapping. G9 will turn the Ramp on again if<br />
desired for other operations.<br />
Machines With Fanuc Controls and Haas Machines:<br />
Use G64 while tapping to eliminate the<br />
Exact Stop. G61 will make Exact Stop modal<br />
again for other operations if desired.<br />

RDT, RDTIC & RCT Installation<br />
Tapmatic Can Supply Tools Ready To Fit Your Machine. RDT, RDTIC and RCT units take the burden of reversal away from the<br />
machine and therefore require a stop arm to activate their self-contained reversing mechanism. This arm must be positioned by the<br />
orientation collar to the exact location of the machine’s stop block then locked in place and fixed positively with the locking screw<br />
provided. Tapmatic has stop arms to fit most popular machines. Just give us your machine make and model #. If we have not already<br />
supplied tools for your machine, we may need the information shown below.<br />
If Your Machine Already Has A Stop Block We Will Need The Dimensions Shown Below To Prepare Your Tool.<br />
If we do not already have a custom stop<br />
arm available just provide the following<br />
information and we’ll make one for you.<br />
Installing an RDT, RDTIC or RCT on your<br />
machine is simple and Tapmatic<br />
experts are as near as your phone for any<br />
help you may require. Please contact our<br />
factory at 800 854-6019, FAX: 208/773-<br />
3021 and simply provide the dimensions<br />
requested. We will supply a tool modified<br />
to fit your machine.<br />

More Reasons To Consider A Self-Reversing Tapping Head<br />
Turn Any VMCMHMC Into A High Speed Tapping<br />
Center Your older machining centers probably can’t<br />
match the rapid feed and traverse rates of a high<br />
speed tapping center but during the feed rate of the<br />
tapping cycle itself, Tapmatic’s Constant Speed more<br />
than makes up for this by eliminating two machine<br />
reversals per tapped hole. Avoiding the RPM<br />
fluctuations common to machine reversal tapping<br />
also increases tap life substantially.<br />
But Savings On Taps And Tapping Time Are Only<br />
Part Of The Story...<br />

TEST: (10) 6mm Roll Form Holes, 9mm Deep, 2500 RPM, 7075 Aluminum<br />
Even when the tapping center’s RPM was increased to 4000, it didn’t produce more<br />
*Holes Per Minute (HPM) than Tapmatic at 2500. SEND FOR COPY OF THIS VIDEO.<br />
CST permits your machines to operate at<br />
cruising speed in one direction and still produce<br />
more holes per minute than a high speed tapping<br />
center at higher RPM. This increases machine spindle<br />
life. Machine down time is a significant shop expense.<br />
By eliminating wear caused by machine reversal at<br />
high RPM some customers have saved as much<br />
as \20,000.00 on spindle replacements and down<br />
time annually.<br />
