what is correct tapping method

When a metal work-piece be machined, Correct tapping method insure the machining parts with good tolerance and correct assembly.
KYLT provide all kinds metal Machining services: WEDM, EDM, CNC LATHING, CNC MILLING, MAGNESIUM/ALUMINUM/PLASTIC PROTOTYPES manufacturing.

Choosing the right tap

There is one attack, two attacks, three attacks, generally we use the third attack, unless very thick plate, it is divided into one, two, three attacks generally with machine taps (only once).

Tap shapes can be divided into：

1.Ordinary wire Tap
2.Spiral tap: more expensive, but good chip removal, high efficiency;
3.Head tap: expensive, but good chip removal, high efficiency;
4.Chip-free tap: The thin material (usually below 3M/M) is extruded into screw shape by extrusion, so the hole is larger than that of common tapping and screw tapping. For example, M3-0.5 common and screw tapping common iron plate teeth drill 2.6 holes, but no chips tapping, drill 2.78-2.8 holes.

Thick plate Tapping (above 3M/M)

Before tapping, the burr of the hole in the plate should be scratched off by the drill bit, but it must not be changed into chamfer, otherwise the thickness of the plate will slide because of chamfering, which will result in fewer screw teeth.

Tapping angle

The tap must be perpendicular to the workpiece in tapping.

Debris clean in tapping process

When tapping, the iron (aluminium) debris on the surface must be removed by brush (toothbrush) or high-pressure air cleaning.

Cutting fluid use for tapping

When making thread, clean oil must be applied instead of dirty oil containing iron scraps or other impurities.

Drill hole before machining thread

Before tapping, the aperture must be found correctly, and the thickness of the plate and the material all affect the aperture.

CNC MACHINE BE CLASSIFIED BY SERVO CONTROL MODE

Servo control mode to classify CNC machine tool. (1) open loop control CNC machine tool The feed servo drive of this kind of machine tool is open-loop, that is, there is no detection feedback device. Generally, its driving motor is a stepping motor. The main feature of stepping motor is that every time the control circuit changes the command pulse signal, the motor will rotate a step angle, and the motor itself has self-locking ability. The drive circuit is controlled by the pulse distributor, which controls the coordinate displacement by changing the number of pulses, the displacement speed by changing the frequency of pulses, and the direction of displacement by changing the distribution sequence of pulses. Therefore, this control mode is characterized by convenient control, simple structure and low price. The command signal flow from the CNC system is unidirectional, so there is no stability problem of the control system, but because the error of the mechanical transmission...

Tapping failure reasons analysis

After the first metal part be tapped, we always to check it: if pass the thread gauge inspection? The inspection result is OK, we can do mass production. If it fails, We should consider which reasons cause tapping faiulre. KYLT provide Metal Machining services for:  WEDM, EDM, DRILL, TAPPING ,  CNC LATHING ,  CNC MILLING ,  ALUMINUM / MAGNESIUM / PLASTIC RAPID PROTOTYPES MAKING . 1PCS ORDER IS ALLOWED. Aluminum CNC machined workpiece Normally, the following reasons may cause screw thread faiulre: 1) UNQUALIFIED TAP Tap is wear or bad 2) QUALIFIED DRILLING HOLE (BEFORE TAPPING) If the hole is too small, because of friction, will increase the difficulty of tapping, while tapping faster wear, and vice versa, the hole is too big, it can easily tap into, but the quality of teeth is very poor, because the diameter of teeth will become larger, relative to the screw nut bonding force is insufficient, easy to slide teeth. In M3 *0.5, the correct hole (general...

SELECTION PRINCIPLE OF CUTTING PARAMETERS FOR SCREW THREAD TURNING

Because the pitch (or lead) of the thread is specified by the drawing, the key to choose the cutting parameters when  turning  the screw thread is to determine the spindle speed n and the cutting depth AP. 1) SELECTION OF SPINDLE SPEED TO DO SCREW THREAD TURNING According to the mechanism that the spindle turns 1 and the cutter feeds 1 lead when turning the thread, the feed speed of the CNC lathe is determined by the selected spindle speed. The thread lead (which is the pitch when the thread is single head thread) instructed in the thread processing program section is equivalent to the feed speed VF VF = n f (1) expressed by the feed rate f (mm / R) From Formula 1, it can be seen that the feed speed VF is proportional to the feed amount F. if the spindle speed of the machine tool is selected too high, the converted feed speed will greatly exceed the rated feed speed of the machine tool. Therefore, when selecting the rotation speed of the main shaft for turning the threa...
