Sandvik Coromant has released the next-generation CoroTap 100 and CoroTap 400 tools developed for aluminum machining to deliver high-quality threads at a low cost per part.
The CoroTap 100 is a straight-flute tap with refined edge rounding that helps to remove burrs and improve surface finish. The combination of core thickness, rake/relief angles, and land width help ensure optimal flute geometry and good chip evacuation, the company states. The back chamfer helps to improve the threading capacity when threading deep holes.
The CoroTap 400 forming tap has an optimized lobe shape developed for aluminum machining and a low friction-coefficient surface treatment for a smooth and polished thread surface finish. With a reduced thread length, the tap is less in contact with the material, reducing power consumption and torque.
Staggered coolant holes create high coolant flow into the thread-forming zone.
Both taps can be used for blind- and through-holes.
