How to use Electric Tapping Machine correctly for thread processing?

The Electric Tapping Machine is an efficient and high-precision metal processing equipment specially used for threaded hole processing. In order to give full play to its performance, it is essential to use the Electric Tapping Machine correctly for thread processing.

1. Preparation
Before starting to use the Electric Tapping Machine, first make sure that the equipment has been properly installed and connected to the power supply. Check whether all connected parts are firm and ensure that key components such as the motor, controller, reducer and machine body are in good condition.

2. Adjust machine parameters
The Electric Tapping Machine has high precision and high stability, so the machine parameters need to be adjusted according to specific requirements before processing. Set appropriate parameters such as tapping speed, feed rate and torque through the controller to ensure the smooth progress of the processing process.
3. Fix the workpiece
Fix the metal workpiece to be processed firmly on the workbench of the Electric Tapping Machine. Make sure that the processing surface of the workpiece is perpendicular to the machine tool spindle to ensure the verticality and accuracy of the threaded hole. Use a clamp or other fixture to fix the workpiece to avoid movement or shaking during processing.

4. Start processing
Start the motor of the Electric Tapping Machine to start the tap to rotate. According to the set parameters, the tap will gradually enter the workpiece at the predetermined speed and feed rate to start thread processing. During the processing, closely observe the operation status of the machine tool to ensure that the feed speed and rotation direction of the tap are correct to avoid jamming or damage to the tap.

5. Monitor and adjust
During the thread processing, it is necessary to constantly monitor the operation status of the Electric Tapping Machine to ensure the smooth progress of the processing. If abnormal conditions are found, such as tap jamming, workpiece movement or machine vibration, the processing should be stopped immediately and checked and adjusted.

6. Complete processing
When the thread processing is completed, turn off the motor of the Electric Tapping Machine to stop the tap from rotating. Remove the processed workpiece from the workbench, check and measure it to ensure that the size and accuracy of the threaded hole meet the requirements.

7. Cleaning and maintenance
After use, clean and maintain the Electric Tapping Machine to extend its service life. Clean the metal chips and dust on the machine surface and workbench, check the wear of the taps and other vulnerable parts, and replace them if necessary. At the same time, lubricate and maintain the machine regularly to ensure that it is always in good working condition.
