Threading & Tapping

E-Z LOK, a manufacturer and master distributor of threaded inserts for metal, plastic and wood, has hired a new sales representative firm.

Eurotech Elite, a supplier of multi-axis, high-precision CNC machines, has expanded its product line with the launch of the Toro Series of horizontal flatbed lathes that are engineered with elite European craftsmanship and "tailored for North America's most demanding industries."

Threading aluminum parts requires attention to chip control, built-up edge, lubrication, and thread quality. This guide covers the setup details that matter most.

Thread mills present several advantages over traditional taps in manufacturing. They offer greater versatility, allowing for deeper threading into holes and reducing the risk of tool breakage. Proper feed rates are crucial for optimal performance, and using a code generator can enhance efficiency. Overall, thread mills serve as a more effective and cost-efficient solution for various threading applications.

Emuge-Franken USA, a manufacturer of high-performance taps, thread mills, drills, end mills, clamping devices, and other rotary tools, has introduced new MultiTAP NPT/NPTF Pipe Taps with a universal threading geometry for both job shops and production tapping.

With barely a touch, the multi-axis FlexArm REM-24D electronic tapping arm with a multi-position head moved gracefully around the part, making it easy to tap a part where needed and helping to eliminate operator fatigue and reduce the possibility of repetitive motion injuries.

James Sabatino, a sales engineer from Marubeni Citizen-Cincom, explains thread whirling technology used in CNC machining. This process is crucial for creating complex threads, especially in medical applications. It utilizes a spinning ring for controlled cutting, which is effective for tough materials like titanium. The modular units from MCC adapt to various machines, and innovations like tandem thread whirls enhance versatility. The A320 Swiss machine supports this technology for intricate part production.
