Emuge Corp. has introduced the ZTaps line of taps, which are suitable for stainless steels, high-strength alloys, tool steels, and cast steels less than or equal to 30 HRC.
These tools have been designed with an advanced chamfer geometry and rake/flute form. In addition, GLT- 1, a newly developed multilayered coating, creates consistent, controllable chip formation for fast and efficient chip removal, the company states. This coating is structured with advanced heat resistance characteristics, along with an outer antifriction layer.
The taps have a shortened thread section to reduce friction, and a lower cutting torque to reduce the occurrence of tap breakage and enable higher cutting speeds.
The line of taps is available in through-hole and blind-hole designs for thread lengths up to 3xD. Blindhole taps offer two chamfer designs: a full bottoming (1.5-2 threads) and a modified bottoming (2-3 threads).
A DIN length is available for improved chip clearance in hardto- reach tapping applications. Sizes from No. 4 to ¾ in. are available in UNC, UNF, and metric fine and coarse.
