U-TAP U81000A 0 – 1/2″ (1.6 – 12mm) Tapping Capacity Vertical Tapping Arm Must Have

Machine Shop Solutions

Problem: Positioning oversized materials underneath a tapping tool can be time-consuming and difficult. Solution: A swivel arm design allows versatile movement directly over the workpiece for precision machining where you need it.The u-tap Tapping Arm consists of a radial arm connected to a tilting arm that is balanced by a pneumatic damper. The tilting arm fixes to the head member and pneumatic motor, and works in a perpendicular axis to the workpiece. The u-tap 400VH and 1000VH additionally offer the ability to tap in a vertical or horizontal plane. Enhanced productivity, superior efficiency, exceptional quality

Benefits

• Allow the operator to move the tap to the work, which makes use of the bearings at all swivel points instead of placing a part under a spindle.
• Tapping cycle starts at the correct speed and can go directly to reverse when the desired depth is reached, allowing acceleration and deceleration to be restricted.
• Tap adapter floats in the machine, which allows the tap to precisely follow the hole without any effect from the spindle. Because of this float, holes tapped with u-tap are typically less than a quarter turn on a No-Go Gage.
• With the use of adjustable clutch style tap adapters, the clutch built into the adapter clicks when the tap bottoms, hits an interference or begins to dull. This diminishes broken taps by notifying the operator to reverse the motor or simply change to a new tap.
