These units are designed with a detachable tapping head(with cartridge) to be used for single tap applications.The two-part design makes the handling of the unit mucheasier and reduces the downtime for tap change.
The ST1 is available with mechanical or servo-drive units, sharinga common body design: verticalmovement on a slide ensuressoftness, precision and repeatability. Its compact design anddimensions (eligible to fit in smallshut height) allow it to be installed easily into all types of dies.For multi-tapping applications,you can also install several tapping devices side by side orstaggered in a congested space.Because of the easy and quickin-die installation/setup of theST1, it can be easily shared in different dies for other applications.Last but not least, because of itsdesign, it can be re-used to tapdifferent small diameters onlyby using a different detachablehead without modification.The Pronic engineered spindledrive’s technology (cartridgetechnology guarantees precision, accuracy, quality and repeatability of the tapping cycle)has a clutch-safety functionwhich disengages the cartridgeto avoid any breakage in the tapping unit
