Taps are used to cut screw threads on the internal surfaces of holes, creating the “female” half (nut) of the screw.
High precision is of vital importance, particularly in areas such as automotive engines, which require precision screws.
OSG offers a lineup of taps with diameters in various sizes and with specifications suitable for a wide variety of uses.
Chip entanglement is the leading cause of reduced tapping efficiency. Chips produced from ductile aluminum alloys are especially prone to wrapping around the tap,
creating a significant challenge. The A-SFT-AL minimizes chip entanglement in aluminum applications and enhances operational efficiency by reducing machine downtime associated with chip removal.
Fewer stoppages lead to higher productivity and support labor-saving initiatives, while improved productivity also contributes to lower power consumption.
For aluminum tapping applications where chip entanglement is a concern, the A-SFT-AL is a highly recommended spiral tap solution.
The biggest factor that reduces tapping efficiency is chip entanglement. This is especially problematic when machining stainless steel,
where tough, ductile chips are difficult to evacuate and tend to cause instability.
The A-SFT-INOX suppresses chip entanglement in stainless steel tapping and improves work efficiency by reducing machine downtime associated with chip removal.
Fewer machine stops boost productivity, reduce labor needs, and help lower power consumption.
This spiral flute tap is highly recommended for stainless steel applications where chip entanglement is a concern.
