WITH BASS THROUGH THICK AND THIN - Successfully reduce costs and lead times in sheet metal working
With the introduction of lightweight construction in manufacturing, sheet metals conquer more and more products. The logical consequence is, that sheet metal working is occupying a bigger standing.
The processed, thin-walled sheet metal parts are usually screwed with other components. This requires an internal thread in the sheet metal. So far, the common solution was welding or pressing the thread over a nut into the metal. Both methods are time-consuming and expensive. Therefore roll forming threads directly into the metal has established as an alternative
on modern press machines. Equipped with tool holders for stamp and roll taps the complete machining now takes place on a single machine: the thread is rolled directly after pressing or drawing the core hole.
This not only reduces the planning effort for attaching a nut, but also shows a higher strength when compared to a cut thread. Quick and precise the cold forming when roll forming leads to a resilient component. Roll forming in the sheet metal
machining with the BASS DURAMAX family not only means an improved thread quality, but also uses the full potential for cost savings.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
» tools directly from the manufacturer
» in stock roll taps of the DURAMAX family in all dimensions (metric and inch thread)
and oversize (for example 6GX, 7GX, +0.1mm)
» no binding to minimum order quantities or orders in a set
» excellent tool life - optimize your profitability
» time saving due to very high cutting speeds
» very high thread strength
» top surface quality of the thread
» precise tolerance and an accurate thread profile
» complete machining on one machine and therefore shorter lead times
» less operations – reduced costs in threading
