The Rolling taps, unlike the cutting ones, form the thread from the deformation of the material. In their origin they had a limited implantation, due to the limitations in terms of machinery for their use, materials, R&D&I capacity and manufacturing means available. But in recent years, its use has grown exponentially due to the advantages they bring over the cutting taps, together with the new possibilities in terms of materials and the effort of development and improvement made by the tool manufacturers.
The main advantages of the rolling taps compared to the cutting ones can be summarized in:
On the other hand, a series of requirements must be considered:
At HEPYC, we have developed and improved in a very important way both, the geometry and the level of surface finishing to achieve the lowest possible friction and increase the performance as well as the quality of produced threads. Our taps are specially designed from the following characteristics:
We have two groups of references:
