A-SFT-AL
Spiral Flute Tap for Aluminum Alloys
Chip entanglement is the leading cause of reduced tapping efficiency. Chips produced from ductile aluminum alloys are especially prone to wrapping around the tap, creating a significant challenge. The A-SFT-AL minimizes chip entanglement in aluminum applications and enhances operational efficiency by reducing machine downtime associated with chip removal. Fewer stoppages lead to higher productivity and support labor-saving initiatives, while improved productivity also contributes to lower power consumption. For aluminum tapping applications where chip entanglement is a concern, the A-SFT-AL is a highly recommended spiral tap solution.
