Toolholder for High Production Tapping
May 1, 2015
Emuge Corp. has introduced a new, toolholding solution, SPEEDSYNCHRO. The Emuge SPEEDSYNCHRO toolholder features an integrated transmission of 1:4.412 for optimizing thread production on CNC machines with synchronous spindles. The integrated transmission is combined with Softsynchro minimum-length compensation to efficiently work with high cutting speeds and a relatively low synchronous machine tool speed, compensating for synchronization errors during the threading process. "The results are significant time and money savings, particularly in high production tapping operations," said a company spokesperson.
"The new toolholder offers easy programming and up to 40% time savings due to significantly shortened thread production cycles resulting from the combined fast acceleration and cutting speeds facilitated by the integrated transmission," said the spokesperson.
Exact thread depths can be achieved with SPEEDSYNCHRO as it does not reverse the direction of rotation. Emuge SPEEDSYNCHRO toolholder supports a maximum spindle speed of 2,000 RPM and a maximum tapping speed of 8,824 RPM. Cutting range is from M1 - M8 and an ER16 toolholder size is offered. Internal coolant capability is provided.
Application Example: The application is for an M2 roll formed thread. The part is an electronic housing of 7075 aluminum, 300,000 housings, 30 threads each, 9 million formed threads annually, six days a week production schedule, 29,000 formed threads daily. Standard Synchro Cycle comparison to SPEEDSYNCHRO:
Standard Synchro Cycle
- Machine RPM = 4,400
- Time tapping = 1.75 sec
SPEEDSYNCHRO
- Machine RPM - 1,000
- Speedsynchro RPM = 4,412
- Time tapping = 1.05 sec
- Time savings = 39%
- Saved production hours = 1,750.
