I. Understand the tapping machine
Tapping machine is an important tool for processing internal threads on workpieces, which can assemble components through threaded connections. It is currently the most widely used type of internal thread tapping machine. These machines eliminate the need for manual thread processing, and improve the accuracy, efficiency, and consistency of thread hole processing.
Structure
The wire drawing machine is composed of key components that work together to facilitate the wire drawing process. These components include servo motors, controller display screens, brackets, machine bodies, and other components. The servo motor converts voltage signals into torque and speed to drive the controlled object, while the controller provides power control and torque overload protection. The bracket provides height adjustment and operating range.
Types of tapping machines
There are various types of tapping machines, each suitable for different applications and operational requirements. These types include manual tapping machines, pneumatic tapping machines, electric tapping machines, and CNC tapping machines. Manual machines offer versatility and simplicity, while pneumatic and electric machines provide higher power and speed. CNC tapping machines offer automation and programmability for precise and complex thread processing. Lunyee's tapping machines feature both manual and automatic operation modes, allowing you to choose the one that suits your needs.
II. Operation and Function
The operation of a tapping machine involves a systematic process to ensure the precise creation of threaded holes on workpieces. Depending on the direction of the tapping tool's movement, tapping machines can be divided into vertical and horizontal types. Vertical tapping machines involve the up and down movement of the tool, while horizontal tapping machines are characterized by lateral movement. These movements can create threads in different directions to meet specific threading requirements.
Threading process
The process of thread processing using a tapping machine begins with preparing the workpiece and selecting the appropriate tap. The operator initiates the tapping process, guiding the tap into the workpiece, and creating threads through rotation and axial movement. Adjusting the tapping machine to achieve the proper thread depth and pitch can ensure compatibility with mating parts and maintain thread integrity.
Characteristics of tapping machine
The tapping machine has basic functions such as variable speed control, adjustable torque setting, reverse tapping function, and depth limiter. Variable speed control can adapt to different materials, while adjustable torque can prevent thread damage. Reverse tapping helps with troubleshooting, and the depth limiter ensures consistent thread depth on the workpiece.
