Taps are specialized cutting tools designed to create internal threads in pre-drilled holes. These threads provide the foundation for secure connections in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, and medical devices. Taps come in various sizes, thread forms (metric, unified, etc.), and configurations to accommodate diverse applications.

Baucor provides a wide range of precision CNC taps for various threading needs:

• Selecting the Right Tap: The first step is to choose the appropriate tap based on the desired thread size, pitch, and material of the workpiece.

• Preparing the Hole: A hole is pre-drilled to a specific diameter slightly smaller than the major diameter of the thread. This ensures the tap has sufficient material to cut into and create the thread profile.

• Tapping Process: The tap is then carefully rotated into the pre-drilled hole. Its sharp cutting edges progressively remove material, forming the thread crests and roots as it advances deeper.

• Lubrication and Chip Removal: Lubrication is essential to reduce friction, dissipate heat, and prevent tap breakage. Cutting fluids also aid in chip removal, preventing the flutes from clogging and ensuring a smooth tapping process.

We specialize in crafting high-quality taps that meet the exacting demands of CNC machining. Their expertise shines through in:

• Custom Tap Solutions: We understand that each project has unique threading requirements. Their experienced engineers collaborate with clients to design and manufacture custom taps that precisely match specific specifications, ensuring optimal thread quality and performance.
• Cutting-Edge Materials and Coatings: Baucor employs advanced materials and coatings like titanium nitride (TiN), titanium carbonitride (TiCN), and other specialized coatings. These enhancements improve tap hardness, wear resistance, lubricity, and overall lifespan, even in challenging applications.
• Rigorous Quality Control: We adhere to stringent quality control measures throughout the manufacturing process. Every tap undergoes meticulous inspection and testing to ensure it meets the highest standards of accuracy, precision, and durability.

By partnering with Baucor, you can leverage your expertise in tap design, material selection, and quality control to achieve superior threading results. Whether it's a standard thread or a complex custom design, Baucor's taps deliver the precision and performance needed to create robust and reliable threaded connections.
