The new tool has been developed with a powerful chip breaker design. This significantly reduces production interruptions and avoids manual chip removal. The result is a safer manufacturing environment and a more stable machining process with continuous, reliable performance and minimal manual intervention.
Effective chip removal is particularly crucial in blind holes. CoroTap 100 with -PM geometry is optimized for internal coolant supply and ensures effective chip removal as well as high surface quality. In the case of through holes, it is different: here, an external coolant supply via collets or nozzles is recommended for optimal performance.
"By integrating precise chip management into high-quality thread machining, we support companies in achieving stable manufacturing with minimal operator intervention," says Cory Carpenter, Global Product & Digital Application Specialist at Sandvik Coromant. "The chip breaker phase may seem like a small detail, but it has a significant impact. By limiting to just two cutting edges, efficient chip removal is enabled without compromising the accuracy and surface quality of the thread."
"Cooling not only has a supportive function, but is crucial for precision thread machining," emphasizes Carpenter. "With the right flow, pressure, and proper alignment, we can prevent chip recutting and ensure a clean, efficient process."
The new CoroTap 100 taps are available in a comprehensive range of geometries specifically designed for machining ISO-P, K, N, and H materials. The range includes straight-flute taps, spiral drills, spiral taps, and thread formers. This provides manufacturing companies with the right solution for every challenge in thread drilling.
