Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides a detailed technical overview of the FIBRO Electronic Tapping Unit (FETU), a product designed for efficient and reliable thread tapping in various industrial applications. It highlights the unit's integration capabilities, quality, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility.

Specifications
The FETU is designed for punching and forming processes, capable of producing threads in sizes ranging from M0.8 to M24. It features a servo drive with a synchronous servo motor, allowing for flexible usage in single or multiple applications. The unit is independent of press stroke and motion, ensuring consistent performance.

Quality and Monitoring
The unit ensures high-quality thread production characterized by strength and surface quality. It includes an auto-teach function for optimizing process parameters and features torque monitoring for each thread, allowing for real-time quality assurance and data export for QA reports.

Cost Effectiveness
The FETU offers cost savings through long tool life, faster processing times, reduced rejects, and the elimination of additional production stages. The drive and control components are reusable across multiple tools.

Performance and Productivity
The unit supports high forming speeds and short process times, with a forming speed of up to 70 m/min and a productivity rate of up to 160 strokes per minute. It is capable of reaching specified speeds quickly, enhancing productivity without compromising tool life.

Flexibility and Configuration
The system can be configured with standard or multiple heads, and it supports integration in tight spaces with a compact design. The control box allows for free programming of parameters, accommodating different thread sizes and cycle requirements.

Additional Features
The FETU includes forming heads with integrated lubrication units and offers plug-and-work solutions for easy integration. Optional components like the bevel gear and articulated shaft provide additional installation flexibility.

Conclusion
The FIBRO Electronic Tapping Unit is a versatile and efficient solution for thread tapping, offering high-quality output, cost savings, and adaptability to various industrial needs.

FIBRO ELECTRONIC TAPPING UNIT FETU FLEXIBILITY Using a movable articulated shaft, the system can also be utilized in positions that are difficult to access and at unusual angles. The forming head of the unit is mounted directly into the respective tool. Regardless of whether a multiple head or a head with internal lubrication is used, or whether a single or a double gearbox is to be connected upstream, the servo motor and the corresponding control always remain the same and can be reused for any subsequent project. THE CONTROL BOX The control and servo regulator for the drives are housed in the...

THE DRIVE SHAFT The articulated shaft transfers the torque from the drive to the forming head. By evening out differences in height and length, the forming head can be installed in any position within the tool, and can also be moved on hold-down plates. Using an articulated shaft is optional. THE BEVEL GEAR The angular gear serves to limit the length of the installation space required by the drive. Using the angular gear is optional. HIGH PERFORMANCE IN TIGHT SPACES FIBRO has developed a miniature unit especially for the smallest thread sizes – M0.8 to M3.5 – that corresponds to the design and...
