Application-specific cold forming taps deliver chipless production of internal threads

Featuring unique geometric designs, coatings, and styles, Emuge "InnoForm" taps provide an efficient solution for the chipless production of internal threads in a wide range of applications. InnoForm taps are offered in a wideselection of designs.

Their polygon shape and various forming wedges are specifically designed to produce the effective thread profile for the unique properties of the work piece material. As a result, the taps are able to form threads that in some situations cannot be efficiently machined with cutting taps.

Thirty different tap designs, including various shapes, are available to thread seven different material groups including regular steel, soft steels, hardened steels, wrought aluminum alloys and non-ferrous metals, cast aluminum, stainless steels, and materials with restricted ductile properties. Emuge InnoForm taps are available in metric sizes from coarse thread DIN 13 M3 through M16 and fine thread DIN 13 MF 8x1 through 16x1.5. in. sizes will be available later in 2006.
