SynchroFlex Tapping Increases Tap Life By 100% Or More On Rigid Tapping Applications. Mr. Sean Ziese, Vice President Ziese Products Inc. Cookson, Oklahoma USA Application: Rigid Tapping Work Piece Material: CF8M Tap Sizes: 10-32 Tap Styles: Spiral 3 Fluted, Modified Bottoming, GH-3 Tap Material: HSS Hole Depth: .4 Speed: 222 RPM Coolant: Master Chemical E206 Tap Driver: Tap Collet (Rigid Tapping) Machine: Mazak VTC 16-B Problem: Short tap life Solution: Installed Tapmatic SFT50 Results: Tap Life Increased from 72 holes per tap to 216 holes per tap. Tap Costs Reduced from $77.00 to $25.00 per day and Production Increased from not changing taps so often. SFT50 Paid For Itself In 7 Days In Tap Cost Savings Alone. Mr. Markus Wildhaber Wildhaber AG Maschinenbau Krummenau, Switzerland Application: Rigid Tapping Work Piece Material: 42CrMo4 V Heat Treated to 650 N/mm2 Tap Size: M8 x 1 Metric Fine Thread Tap Style: Through Hole DIN 376 Tap Material: HSSE-PM Powder Metal Vaporized, ESO Hole Depth: 10mm deep Speed: 500 RPM Coolant: Aral oil emulsion 6% Tap Driver: Conventional Collet Chuck (Rigid Tap Driver) Machine: LINEA Horizontal Machining Center with 11 pallets and Fanuc 16M control. Parts loaded on pallets by ABB robot. Problem: Excessive tap wear & breakage after only 1000 holes resulting in downtime during unmanned shifts. Solution: Installed Tapmatic SFT50 Tap Driver Results: Tap Life Increased from 1000 to between 2400 & 2900 HPT(Holes Per Tap) Greater security that all holes are tapped during an unmanned shift. Mr. Karl Stickel Criterion Machine Works Costa Mesa, California USA Application: Rigid Tapping Work Piece Material: 8620 Tap Size: 5/16-24 Tap Style: Plug Tap Material: HSS Hole Depth: 9mm Min (M6 tap) 28mm Max (M8 tap) Speed: 400 RPM Coolant: Trim Sol Tap Driver: Rigid Collet Machine: Fadal VMC 3016 Problem: Rough torn finish on threads in DBL-202 bar holder. Threads would come out under or over size and required re-work. Solution: Installed Tapmatic SFT50 Tap Driver. Results: Threads consistently gage correctly eliminating time consuming re-work. Tap life increased 100 to 150% with much better quality threads. Mr. Bruce Todd, MacKay Mfg. Inc. Spokane, Washington, USA Application: Rigid Tapping Work Piece Material: Titanium 6AL 4V, Hardness 140,000 psi Tensile Tap Sizes: 8-32 & 10-32 1/4-28 Tap Styles: Spiral, Cutting Spiral, TIN, Coolant Thru Tap Material: HSS HSS, TIN Coated Hole Depth: .360 .600 Speed: 710 / 695 RPM 685 RPM Coolant: Manually applied specialty cutting fluid. Tap Driver: Conventional Collet Chuck (Rigid Tap Driver) Machine: Mori Seiki SV500 B Vertical Machining Center Problem: Short, Inconsistent Tap Life and Tap Breakage. Manually applied specialty cutting fluid expensive and slowed production. Solution: Installed Tapmatic SFT50 Tap Driver and switched to normal recirculating coolant. Results: Tap Life Increased up to 200%. Eliminated inconvenience of specialty cutting fluid. Mr. Randy W. Clark & Mr. Jeff Spencer Clay Precision, Inc. Sherman, Texas USA Application: Rigid Tapping Work Piece Material: 316L SST 18 Rc Tap Size: 1/4-20 Tap Style: Blind Hole Tap GH3 HSS-E Tap Material: HSS Hole Depth: .750 Speed: 150 RPM Coolant: EZ Foamy Cutting Fluid Tap Driver: Spring Load Floating Tapping Head Machine: Bridgeport Verticle Machining Center with CAT 40 Problem: Taps were breaking after just 3 or 4 holes. Solution: Installed Tapmatic SFT50 Tap Driver Results: Tap Life Increased from 3 or 4 to over 400 (yes, 400) HPT (Holes Per Tap) Do The Math For Your Own Applications And See How Quickly SFT Pays For Itself. SFT Example I Tap Cost: $20.00 Tap Life Increase: 100 Holes to 200 Holes Savings Per Hole: 10 centsSFT50 ($365.00) Paid For Itself: In 3,650 Holes. *SFT Example II Tap Cost: $20.00 Tap Life Increase: 1000 Holes to 2000 Holes Savings Per Hole: 1 cent SFT50 ($365.00) Paid For Itself In: 36,500 Holes.

Constant Speed Tapping Also Cuts Cycle Times In Half On High Production Applications. Mr. Ken Hale P.M. Machine Company Berryville, Arkansas, USA Application: Rigid Tapping Work Piece Material: 380 Cast Aluminum Tap Sizes: #6-32 Tap Styles: Spiral Bottoming Tap Material: HSS Hole Depth: .205” Thru Program Speed: 1800 RPM Coolant: Semi-Synthetic Emulsion Tap Driver: Conventional Collet Chuck (Rigid) Machine: Daewoo DMV-500 Problem: “Starting and stopping of the rigid tap cycle was costing us too much time. The machine only reached a tapping speed of 1200 RPM before reversing. Machine time in the part cycle time was much more of a percentage than desired.” Solution: Switched to Tapmatic RDT25 eliminating wasted time in cycle allowing parts to run much quicker. RESULTS: 53% Cycle Time Savings. Cycle time for four parts dropped from 91 seconds to 43 seconds. So tapping time went from 79 seconds to 31 seconds for 16 total holes from four parts. Total Savings 2 Seconds Per Hole Tapmatic Constant Speed Tapping Attachments incorporate similar technology to the SFT units and offer similar increases in tap life plus the benefit of constant speed throughout the tapping cycle. By eliminating machine reversal, they avoid the RPM fluctuations common to synchronous feed tapping and provide absolute maximum tap life. They also double tapping production in most applications. But Savings On Taps And Tapping Time Are Only Part Of The Story... CST, Constant Speed Tapping Advantages Extend Machine Spindle Life: Machine down time is the biggest shop expense. By eliminating wear caused by machine reversal (as illustrated in the power consumption comparison at right) in high production applications some customers have saved as much as $20,000.00 per machine on spindle replacements and down time annually. CST Uses Only 1/4th As Much Electrical Power In high production tapping this is a significant cost savings. Mr. David Matthew, Design Consultant Soken Engineering Ltd. Sub-Contract Machining and Manufacturer of Heat Sealing Equipment. APPLICATION Work Piece Material: Aluminum Tap Sizes: M3 Tap Style: Spiral Drill-Tap Tap Material: HSS Hole Depth: 3mm Program Speed: 3000 RPM Coolant: BP Biocut FG Machine: Bridgeport VMC800 Digital Previous Tapping Method: New Job. First time run. Problem: To produce threads in cooling plates for communication systems. These components had to be produced in minimum time possible. 1 minute floor to floor was the objective. Solution: Installed Tapmatic NCRT25 Constant Speed, Self-Reversing Tapping Unit to drill-tap plates. RESULTS: 30 seconds floor to floor. 50% time savings over objective. Only one operation was required to complete job. 250 plates completed in 2 hours, 2 threads in each plate, 125mm center distance. Eliminating machine reversal resulted in reduced machine wear and tear. TEST: Tap (144) 5/16” Holes Results: Tapmatic RDT uses 1/4th the energy of machine reversal and eliminates related machine wear and tear. Manufacturing Engineer Air Conditioning Compressor Manufacturer, USA APPLICATION Work Piece Material: Gray Cast Iron 170-241 BHN Tap Sizes: M10, M5 Tap Style: Straight Flute Program Speed: M10 / 795 RPM M5 / 1590 RPM Coolant: Semi-Synthetic Machine: Horizontal Lathe Previous Tapping Method: Non-Reversing Tapping Head Problem: Cycle time too long, 214 seconds.Tap Life too short, 2000 holes per tap Solutions: Installed Tapmatic ASR50 ConstantSpeed, Sellf-Reversing Tapping Unit. RESULTS: Reduced cycle time by 16 seconds without changing speeds. Producing an additional 100 parts per day or 21000 additional parts per year, saved 1.2 million dollars due to not having to purchase a 3rd machining cell. We have a potential for further reduction in cycle time from increased speeds but have not yet done this. Tap life increased from 2000 holes per tap to over 4000 holes per tap. Now Check Your Total Savings With The Added Advantages of Constant Speed Tapping CST Example Machine Hourly Rate: $100.00 Typical Time Savings Per Tapped Hole: 1 second Cycle Time Savings Per Hole: 2.8 cents *Plus Tap Life Savings From SFT Example II 1 cent Total RDT Savings Per Tapped Hole: 3.8 cents RDT50 ($1,417.00) Paid For Itself In: 37,289 Holes Please Note: RDT stands for Renewable Drive Tapping. Routine, preventative maintenance will assure continuous like-new performance. If done at 100,000 holes, for example, the cost should not exceed 1/10th of a cent per hole and take no more than 20 minutes.
