PCM ET1 TAPPING
COLLETS WITH AXIAL COMPENSATION
PCM ET1 Tapping collets with axial compensation offer a smart and cost-
effective tool holding option for machines, which need axial compensation
for tapping.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
These tapping collets offer many advantages
- Fully interchangeable with REGO-FIX collets DIN STD. 6499
- No expensive tapping tools necessary
- Simple mounting of tapping collet
- Spring tension is adapted to tap size
- Compact and very robust design
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR TAPPING COLLETS PCM ET1
The following tapping process is recommended for tapping collets PCM ET1:
Fast approach, then tapping feed with approximately 95% of the pitch value,
which uses 20-30% of the compensation stroke when the spindle rotation and
the feed movement are simultaneously reversed.
Return feed must be made with 100% of the pitch, which remains the sleeve of
the tapping collet in the compensation stroke up to the tap disengagement;
quick return can then be programmed with usual stroke security. The
relatively long axial compensation assists easy programming.
When tapping with very high speed, an appropriate programming compensation
may be necessary to balance the differences of inertia between the spindle
and the feed movement on reverse. Do not disturb the axial compensation, use
external coolant supply only!
