Material: CMC 1.2312 Machine tool: DMG Mori Seiki Mill Tap 700 Coolant: 40 bar external coolant vs. Data for EP03M8 v c = 35m/min 2 tool holders were evaluated, and the results between them have been recorded. 14 Automotive engine - AE_MoreInfoCoroChuck970 - Version 1.0
Test result CoroTap 200 test: In the test CoroChuck 970 v ER25 proved that CoroChuck 970 SynchroFlex is the superior choice over ER collet chuck in a BT30 spindle for tapping application. Tool life for the EP03M8 in the ER collet chuck holder was only 500 threads before chipping The test was continued but the tap was breaking after just a few threads more. The CoroChuck 970 with the EP03M8 produced 1500 threads, with just a small wear and would have continued to produced more threads, but we had reached a conclusion at this point.

Tapping depth control What kind of tapping depth control should I expect? Depth control is consistently very accurate, just as with a normal solid holder. Because the amount of compensation needed is very small, we designed our flexures to have very high Force vs. Deflection Rates. Before the development of synchronized tapping, machines used cycles for tapping that were not synchronized. This required tap holders with soft springs and a large amount of axial compensation. 22 Automotive engine - AE_MoreInfoCoroChuck970 - Version 1.0
