microtap has specialized in controlled thread tapping and its analysis. With the machines threads (M1-M16) are cut or molded, and screw sockets as well as screws are fastened by means of torque control. Torque monitored propulsion units and force-neutral pressure impact provide for technically optimized production at low costs. No change of guiding spindle, no limitation of engine speed. Unlike common process monitoring systems, which only inform about tool breakage, operators of microtap thread tapping devices avoid tool breakage and scrap entirely. As quality control takes place straight at processing, no additional control equipment is necessary; creation of value is secured.

With the new type line “labtap” and a specially developed computer-analysis-software the thread tapping device is not only fit for quality production of threads in small series and large-lot productions but also turns into a comparative test apparatus and laboratory device. So the operator is able to calculate and determine optimized process parameters such as selection of optimum tapping tool, cutting speed, amount of lubricant and tool life – prior to processing.
In order to optimize their products manufacturers of lubricants and tapping tools all over the world take advantage of the new  TTT Tapping Torque Testsystem.
