Along the same lines as with the pneumatic models, the machine is made up of a pendular parallelogram being balanced by an air spring plus a radial arm. The assembly being made up of both members fixes the motor head and keeps it in a position being perpendicular to the working area.
The electronically controlled motor is provided with a numeric control (NC) system. The unit is apt to be operated in manual or automatic mode in such a way that it allows to configure an control by means of a six-key professional keyboard being arranged at the top of the motor such aspects as:
- Right- and left-hand turning control
- Thread type (Metric, Whitworth, etc.)
- Depth control
- Time of tool lubrication
- Type of material, resistance
- Tapping speed
A set of 6 reducer modules are apt to be fitted to the motor output by means of a quick-change system and allow to adjust the tapping speed as a function of the metric pitch to mechanise.
Said modules incorporate as well a quick-change system being apt to receive the professional tap holder with or without safety professional clutch.
The machine is formed by a tilting arm being by means of a pneumatic spring, said arm being fitted through an intermediary union to a radial arm being revolvable around 360º. The assembly is secured to the professional workbench by means of a base plate being provided with a post clearing the whole table area. The motor head finds itself at the end of the tilting arm and is apt to always move at right angles with respect to its working area.
The turning motor speed and the automatic lubrication control are adjustable by means of three buttons located on top of the motor cover. The modular system is apt to be fitted to the electronic motor and consists of 5 quick-change planetary speed reducers providing 5 different speeds and torques. The speed can be thus adapted to every thread type.
The toolholders (or professional tap holders) with or without safety professional clutch are also apt to be fitted to the modules by means of a quick-change system.
This is the genuine unit to work in any position in space therewith always maintaining the perpendicularity to the desired plane irrespective of the arm position.
The machine consists of a radial arm supporting both articulated arms that can be regulated by means of the regulating cocks. The multiposition head is a double swivel union device allowing to lock and unlock both its swivel pins to thus position the head and keep it quite blocked in order to thus operate in any position in space.
The head mechanism is formed by a cam system with an equaliser and disc springs applying a load of 1,000 Kg to two cone sets locking both pins.
The radial arm incorporates a chain drive, which is activated or deactivated by means of a face-toothed coupling half according to the intended working position.
The machine incorporates an air servicing unit (professional filter + regulator lubricator) for the correct operation of the motor.
The modular system consisting in a series of 7 quick-change modules (reducers) is provided for coupling to said motor. As a result of this 7 output speeds (90, 170, 300, 550, 750, 1050 and 2100 rpm) are available thus allowing to adapt the professional tap speed to every type of thread.
The modular system admits the quick-change tap holders with or without safety professional clutch depending on the intended job (blind or through holes). Threading capacity from M3 up to M2 to M24 (M27).
The Recoil range of power tooling ensures consistent high volume thread insert installation for a variety of applications. Recoil powered installation tools may be supplied for use with either a compressed air supply or via a stabilised low voltage supplier of power supply to suit your particular requirements
GSE K1 K2 K3
TAPPING UNITS
Highly dynamic multi-use NC tapping units for limited spaces
Our patented, maintenance free units GSE K1, K2 and K3 stand out for their wide range of application and extremely short conversion times. As independent process modules these devices can be used both on Bihler machines and in industrial presses, switching table automatics, assembly and transfer lines for cutting and forming internal threads up to M20. Their flat and compact design which is due to the newly developped NC servo hollow shaft motor allows installation even in case of small tool mounting hights as well as the arrangement of several K-types side by side. Furthermore the working stroke without pitch leader guarantees high endurance of the tools.
