Sandvik Coromant Taps Enable Uninterrupted Precision Threading
The CoroTap 100 series of straight-flute cut taps features a high-performance, chipbreaking design that reduces production interruptions and eliminates the need for manual chip removal.
Sandvik Coromant Co.’s CoroTap 100 with -PM geometry is a series of straight-flute cut taps designed for ISO P materials. Engineered with a high-performance, chipbreaking design that reduces production interruptions and eliminates the need for manual chip removal, the CoroTap 100 family is said to enable a safer production environment and a more stable machining process with continuous, reliable output and minimal manual intervention.
Effective chip evacuation is critical, especially in blind holes. CoroTap 100 with -PM geometry is optimized for internal coolant delivery, providing clean chip removal and a high-quality finish. For through-holes, external coolant via collets or nozzles is recommended for optimal performance.
The CoroTap 100 tap range is available in a comprehensive selection of geometries tailored for ISO P, K, N and H materials. The assortment includes straight flute taps, spiral point taps, spiral flute taps and forming taps.
“By integrating precise chip management with high-quality threading, we’re helping manufacturers maintain steady production with minimal operator input,” says Cory Carpenter, global product and digital application specialist at Sandvik Coromant. “The chipbreaker chamfer may seem like a subtle feature, but its effect is substantial. Applying it to just two flutes allows for efficient chip separation while preserving the accuracy and finish of the thread.”
