Sutton Tools Synchro Tap Series-1

100% Australian Owned www.sutton.com.au SYNCHRO Tap SERIES Tapping Just Got Faster... The Synchro Tap Series is specifically designed for modern machines, where the spindle revolution (A-Axis) & feed movement (Z-Axis) are synchronously controlled. Sutton Tools has optimised the design of the Synchro Tap Series to work in unison with the accurate pitch controlling capabilities of the modern machine tool. This will not only reduce cycle time but also extend tool life. Significant increases in speed can be achieved, up to 100m/min! Benefits • Production reliability & safety • Shorter cycle times • Increased speeds • Increased tool life • Optimal thread quality • Precise threads depths • Lower tooling costs

Sutton Tools Synchro Tap Series-10

Sutton SynchroFlex with unique Double Flexure Unlike other “synchronous” tap drivers that use soft plastic components or belleville washers similar as above, to cushion the taps’ entry into the hole, Sutton SynchroFlex utilizes a patented (computer generated, precisely machined, special steel alloy) Double Flexure between the mount and the chuck. It compensates both axially and radially for the unavoidable discrepancies between the machine’s programmed RPM, feed and traverse and the exact thread pitch and precise hole location. The Sutton SynchroFlex is dependable and predictable. You can expect...
