The5000 Series Self-Feeder AutoTap gives you the robust AutoDrill 5160 unit as a driver for a Self-Reversing tapping head. This may allow a single unit to be used for both tapping and drilling at times. Because the Self-Reversing tap head is being used, the need for a motor drive to change rotation is not there. The AutoTap is capable of any thread configuration within its capacity range and almost always without a single change to the equipment other than adjustments to the feed control, etc.
Many of the ball screw and lead screw units on the market require that you change out physical parts (expensive!) to change from one tap size to another. This is a tremendous advantage to a job shop or manufacturer looking to simplify their process and keep inventory under control. These automatic tapping machines can be configured for different size tap operations or different thread pitches very quickly. Cost is kept to a minimum while reliability and efficiency is increased.
Here are just some of the features and options for the Control-Feed AutoTap:
