Tapping threads using a secondary application adds unnecessary time, handling and labor cost.

Tapping tools allow you to tap holes right in the punch press with unparalleled speed and accuracy. With tooling options for numerous machine styles and various thread sizes available, these tools are a clear way to increase productivity and lower cost of goods.

Tapping tools are available for Thick Turret, TRUMPF, Strippit PX and Euromac style machines.

CREATE THREADS FASTER

Tapping tools create threads in pre-tapped holes much faster than secondary operations. Watch the video to see in-machine tapping tools at work below.

TAPPING TOOL TRUMPF-STYLE STREAMLINES THREADING

The tapping tool TRUMPF-style eliminates costly and inaccurate secondary operations by allowing you to add threads to holes right in the TRUMPF-style punch press. Able to tap holes at any programmed location on the sheet, this tapping tool creates stronger threads because it forms rather than cuts them, and also eliminates the problem of shavings often caused by machined tapping.
