New Horizontal In-die Tapping Head

New Horizontal In-die Tapping Head

The overwhelming majority of In-die tapping applications are best suited to be tapped with the tap coming down vertically and tapping the strip in the flat position.   What happens when a hole cannot be tapped in the flat due to concerns of hole distortion after forming or maintaining a hole location after parts are formed?  In the past these would be applications that could not be tapped in the press and would have to go to a costly secondary tapping operation.

The new HTS Model 6300 Horizontal tapping head now allows for tapping of parts in the press that were formerly not possible.   The new HTS Model 6300 is designed specifically to each individual application due to the unique nature of each horizontal tapping application.  Please contact us with your application and we can provide recommendations and technical specifications.

As always, we look forward to hearing from you regarding your In-die tapping, secondary tapping or other tapping applications.  Please contact us at 800-332-3230 or e-mail us at sales@hutchisontool.com
