Tapping unit
May 1st 2007 The Somex range of automation
equipment, available from J S
Bruce Engineering, has been
extended to include a new pitch
controlled tapping head.
The Max 28TE can be used on
transfer lines or integrated into
special purpose machines of all
types and configurations.
The tapping head has been
designed to be highly flexible in
application, with a 120Nm torque
capability. It can accommodate
tapping applications of M24 x 3mm
or M48 x 2mm in 600N/mm2 steel.
The standard thread pitch range is
0.5 to 3mm, with other pitches
available on request.
The unit can be fitted with 3ph
AC motors up to 5.5kW (50hz), with
geared motor options also
available to provide the lower
spindle speeds required for larger
thread diameter tapping operations. More articles from J S Bruce Engineering Ltd: |
