Pronic - TK Range - In-die Tapping Unit

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes Pronic's tapping units designed for single or multi-tap applications with a removable head. These units can be driven mechanically or by a servo-driven motor, offering simplified operations and quick tap changes.
Specifications: The tapping units integrate functions such as strip guiding, vertical strip follow, and quick approach of the tapping head. The units are available in different configurations (TKN, TKS, TKD) with varying features like adjustable gearboxes, integrated lubrication nozzles, and secured cartridges.
Advantages: Key benefits include simple integration into the die, reduced tooling costs, controlled kinematics, optimal tapping rates, and modular design allowing for multiple configurations. The motorization is standardized and simplified.
Features: The units include a lightweight, removable tapping head, built-in drivers, and a strip following function. The motorization is lubricated by an oil bath and can be actuated by pneumatic cylinders, pull-rods, or a cam.
Motorization Types: Two types are available: servo-driven, which is independent from press stroke and offers flexibility, and mechanical, which provides increased reliability and is linked to the press slide.
Service and Support: Pronic offers support and recommendations for design, assistance with integration, and on-demand design and manufacturing of the complete tapping station.
Additional Information: The document includes details on the tapping unit's components, such as the secure cartridge, adjustable gearbox, and strip support. It also highlights the flexibility of the system, with quick tap changes and compatibility with various tap standards (DIN, ANSI, JIS).

Pronic - TK Range - In-die Tapping Unit-1

Secure cartridge «Rapid approach of the tapping head» function actuated either by pneumatic cyliders, by pull-rods or by a cam Motorization lubricated by oil bath, fixed mounted on the lower shoe TK range High performance Tapping solution Adjustable gear box, integrated in the quick installation kit Removable and lightweight tapping head The modular tapping solution, Tapping units with removable single or multi-tap head and built-in mobility functions. Strip support Built-in drivers on the tapping head (option) This made-to-measure turnkey solution is adapted to your die environment: Built-in strip following function (pressure pad) • Strip guiding function integrated in the tapping head Lower shoe of the tapping unit (option) • The tapping station design is simplified and quick to implement. • Secured cartridge: 2 types of motorization: Mechanical • Tap held by collet. • Vertical guidance by key or spline ensures better control of operating clearances and guarantee better performance. What's included: • Tapping unit either MS or ML version configured for your project • Screws and dowels to fix the unit on your die • Tap wrench for quick tap change • Handbook manual with parameters for your project • Detailed part list for your tapping unit • IMotorization lubricated with oil bath. Servo-driven • Independent from press stroke. • Different motor powers available. Simple integration of the device in the die. • Increased reliability. Pictures and texts are non contractuals • Waterproofness reinforced. Use is simplified: No specific tooling, tapping head and motorization guaranted by indexing pin, lightweight head to simplify operation. The range is modular: Several possible configurations, motorization can be used on several dies. - Strip guiding, - Vertical strip follow (strip lift), - Quick approach of the tapping head and strip piloting. The rates are optimal: tapping begins just after the strip feeding, before the stripper contact. According to the proposed version, the turnkey «TK» solution integrates the following functions: The kinematics are totally controlled: full guarantee of operation and optimized tapping speed. These units have been studied to integrate the commonly installed functions in the die directly and compactly in the tapping head. Reduced tapping station tooling costs: Design and assembly of the tapping station is rapid and implementation is less expensive. The motorization is simplified and standardized. • Wide flexibility of use and management of the auxiliary movements by the M400 controller. The tapping station tooling costs are significantly reduced. • Transmission by lead screw linked to press slide. • The template gear unclutches in case of overload or when there is no hole to tap. The tapping station kinematics are totally controlled. These tapping units are designed with a removable head and may be used for single or multi-tap applications. The tapping head is driven either by mechanical or by servo-driven motorization. The two-part design simplifies operationsand enables quick tap change.
