How does the Servo Feed Tapping Unit work?

18/04/2023
Servo Feed Tapping Unit is a precision tool that is used in the process of tapping holes in various materials such as metal, plastic, and wood. The device operates by converting the electrical signal from a motor into a mechanical movement.

The working principle of the Servo Feed Tapping Unit involves the motor which drives the tapping spindle, and the control unit which adjusts the speed and torque of the tapping spindle according to the requirements of the workpiece. The spindle is designed to clamp and rotate the taps, making them move up and down in a rhythmic manner.

During operation, the user positions the tap on the material and starts the machine. The Servo Feed Tapping Unit clamps the tap onto the spindle and the control unit takes over. The control unit detects the torque required to tap the hole and adjusts the speed of the motor accordingly. Once the hole is tapped, the servo motor reverses direction and moves the tap out of the hole.

Servo Feed Tapping Units come equipped with features that provide additional control and precision, such as automatic depth control and a reversing mechanism that backs the tap out of the hole more efficiently. These additional features can help speed up the tapping process while reducing the chance of mistakes.
