Hi i there spindle motor and motor drive that can be better used for tapping? Problem with use tap is that spindle motor can easy crash tap and after that extra charge - + equipment - to remove broke tap from hole.
Every one try to get max from each tap and many times tap that "look good" crashed in the hole. Where is solution? The solution is in torque sensitive motor- motor drive system for spindle. Example: tap 1" can hold 80 lb.ft. More than that tap will be crashed. Motor drive that can be programmed - do not exceed 80 lb.ft , and if so E-Stop machine. For smaller tap torque can be programmed for 20 lb.ft for bigger tap 200 lb.ft and etc. Idea is clear. Put this kind motor drive under EMC2 control and problem solved. Is there better solution to prevent breaking tap in hole?
