A-XPF
Highly Efficient Multi-purpose Forming Tap
Most tapping troubles are caused by unstable chip evacuation. The A-XPF forms threads by plastic deformation of the work material and does not generate cutting chips. The A-XPF enables the reduction of tool change time caused by cutting chip troubles and machine downtime required for removing accumulated cutting chips. Furthermore, by enabling stable and uninterrupted machining, power consumption can be reduced, which minimizes environmental impact. Large diameter sizes of M18 to M24 can also accommodate the machining of large components. Moreover, short chamfer type (length of chamfer: 1P) M1 to M6 are ideal for the machining of small precision parts that are becoming thinner and lighter with little room for pre-hole. The newly added A-OIL-XPF with internal coolant holes is compatible with mist machining. Mist coolant cutting eliminates the need for oil disposal, which helps reduce waste. Furthermore, there is less scattering of cutting oil, which also leads to an improved work environment.
