People say that these are the advantages that you may have while working with an electric tapping machine. Instead, these are some extra steps that you need to perform while working with the machine.

6.What is the different component of an electric tapping machine?

Every electric machine have some working parts to complete the structure of a machine and electric tapping machine also based on some working components to complete the structure and design of the machine.

Here is the list of some basic and general parts of the electric tapping machine.

Electric Spindle for Tapping

Most of the spindles are used to hold the main working head of the machine and in this machine spindle holds the drilling tap which to make the threading hole for tapping purpose.

Spindle is covered in a metal sleeve which helps to revolve the drill around its axis in the direction of a tapping material. Sleeves made the movement easy for the drill machine with less effect on the tapping.

Parallel Arm

Different parts of Electric Tapping Machine

This part of the machine plays an important role both in structure and also in working capability of the machine because without a holding arm it is very hard to work with large size and maximum amount of products at the same time.

Some of the electric tapping machines do not have any arm based tapping process but most of these do work on an arm system. Arm in an electric tapping machine is made with small parts and hold different components like air pressure pipe, tapping drill and metal pipe for stability which is called slanted arm used for controlling level of depth according to the type of hole which the tapping machine is using.

High Power Servo Motor

A motor which provides power to the electric tapping process is very powerful and create enough energy for tapping purpose. Every working part in the machine gets the energy from this motor to work along the machine.

Motor in an electric tapping machine works as a powerhouse to run different electric parts of the machine.

Mounting Table

This part in this machine is very important to set the arm system of the machine because it holds the arm with it working as a base on a table connected strongly. With the help of his component you can select the movement ease of the arm which is based on the mounting table.

A fixed wrench is used on the mounting table to connect the arm of the machine with its base for tapping purpose. A magnetic lifting chuck is also connected to this mounting table which works as a power vein to hold the am in upward direction by providing a lift.

Tapping Adapter

Tapping Chuck/adaptors 

A tapping adapter is basically tapping chucks that are used for tapping purpose. Every type of product is fixed with the help of this machine and then the tapping starts from the fixed central position where you will not see any moment.

Every tapping tool is fixed in the chucks for making sure that the safety of your product is dealt with properly without any damage rate.

Cart or Working Table

This part mostly consists on the horizontal electric tapping machine where you set a tapping product on the table or cart to fix the movement of the product first and then the tapping is done.

Normally, the weight of the cart is like 200Kg with having 800 x 800 x 900 mm LWH.

These are the working components of the tapping machine which makes a complete tapping machine.

7.How does a tapping machine work?

Electric Tapping Machine

The working of an electric tapping machine is very simple and accurate as compared to other machines because the structure of this machine provides ease in working with it and it is much safe to do the tapping on hard rigid metal with any extra effort.

Step-1

A tapping machine works on the duplex sort of metal process where a metal screw is used for tapping holes on a metal item so it is fastened process based on two metal items. You can make a threading hole with the help of this machine to make the tapping process easy and it helps you to save your time by doing all the hard work automatically with minimum use of labor.

First in the tapping process a servo motor starts and gets into the rhythm while contacting with other parts of the machine.

Step-2

When every part of the machine gets into the working motion then a tapping product is set on the cart or table of the tapping machine having holes in it or may be without any holes only if you have that functionality as well along with tapping. Thread holes are made on this product for tapping purpose.

Step-3

Tapping chucks are used for tapping threads in the holes and a small drill is hold on the arm of the machine to make the working easy. The movement of the arm is performed according to the type of product which you are using you can just easily move the arm in downward direction or may be towards the rare because it is flexible enough.

Step-4

A complete mass production can be done with the tapping machine because you can perform different sorts of threading and tapping process at the same time.

The technical ability of this machine to work with different materials is very high and you can easily work with the machine having basic knowledge about the working principle because your material or product will remain safe and will not get any damage as the safety requirements are measured properly.

This is the working process of an electric tapping machine that you need to know if you want to work with this machine. A user guide will be provided to you for ease in working and interacting with the machine.

8.How electric tapping machine is useful for different engineering field?

Electrical Tapping Machine

Different engineering fields utilize this machine for their better working and to develop a fine product with less error rate.

In civil engineering different kind of holes are threaded on the floor or on the walls and this is done with different kinds of tapping chucks which are present on the drill.

In different engineering fields like mechanical or civil there are three basic types of electric tapping machine that one can use according to the type of product that you want to work with and these machines are.

• Two Fluted Tapping machine.
• Three Fluted Tapping machine.
• Four Fluted Tapping machine.

The only difference between these machines is their work ratio according to the presence of their chuck taps in the stroke system.

Tapping machine with its high precision and accurate tapping is very useful in different engineering fields to make different small products that can be used to build a great product.

9.What are general safety rules for using electric tapping machine?

Some safety rules are important to keep in mind when you are interacting to work with the electric tapping machine because your product will remain safe and secure along with the labor which is working with the machine.

• It is noticed by different doctors that most of the eye infection is happened to those person who works with different electric machine which reflects light like tapping machine does during holes threading.
• Please make sure to wear the glasses when working with the machine because these safety glasses will work as a shield to protect inner retina of your eyes.
• Always fix the product with the clump or any fixing component to stop the product from moving around.
• Never hold any metal material in your hand it may cause some damage on your hand or arm because the threading speed of the tapping machine is very insane.
• Stay away from the moving arm of the machine to provide wide angle to your working equipment.

These are some key rules that you must know to ensure the safety of yourself and your product as well.

10.What are the different work modes of the electric tapping machine?

There are three modes on which a tapping machine works.

Intermittent Tapping Mode

For this tapping mode a cantilever is used at the oscillation point which can tap up to the amplitude of 100nm. The oscillation provides a blind depth to the cantilever to accurately tap with the surface of the material which is similar to the blinding end of the product.

A probe is used to tap in the threaded hole which provides an accurate width and rotational speed to the drill for the tapping purpose.

Dynamic Tapping Mode

In this mode the cantilever and the probe does not make any contact which is why it is called dynamic or contactless tapping. Because the vibration of the probe and cantilever does not make any impact it is only because the product sample and the tapping tip of the drill are rarely contact with each other to make the tapping possible.

Contact Tapping Mode

In contact mode the cantilever works as a sensor to measure the depth of the tapping hole by going deep into it and then contact with the layer for making the tapping process accurate and precise.

The measurement of force that needs to be applied on the metal surface is calculated easily and then the tap head moves into the hole for making a thread hole useable for tapping purpose.

11.What is the speed of the normal electric tapping machine?

Electric Tapping Machine without base

Basically, the speed of the electric tapping machine depends on the automation level of the machine because an automatic machine during the tapping process will behave differently as compared to manual tapping machine.

Some semi-automatic tapping machines hold 200 RPM speed with the regulation of time period.

Speed of a normal electric tapping machine lies between 180 to 200 rpm because every machine does not poses the same power rate.

The installation of servo motor inside a machine is also very vital to define the speed of the machine.

Every machine works different so you can not say that every machine has the same speed ability because it is not possible when you compare number of factors that defines the speed.

12.How much power electric tapping machine required to perform its functions best?

The requirement of a power to work with the tapping process depends on the type of servo motor which is installed in the machine.

A high quality servo motor will require up to 440V of electric power to work with the tapping process because it is easy for the machine to utilize this energy and then precisely deliver it to different parts of the machine.

Most of the motors will cost you in terms of power consumption because they have a large size motors inside them that requires some extra energy to work on.

We will provide you servo motor which will enhance the productivity speed and it will take minimum amount of electric power to work with different kinds of materials for tapping purpose.
