Through its HS ASPE division, SACMA Group has introduced the T10-VT tapping machine, which combines high efficiency, environmental sustainability, and operator focused ergonomics, to deliver outstanding performance and ease of use.
Capable of running up to 200 parts per minute, SACMA highlights its T10-VT tapping machine is built for high productivity without compromising on quality control. The machine can process parts quickly and efficiently due to its four spindles, enabling the efficient tapping of nuts, rivnuts and various hollow parts, as well as the dual bowl feeders with double exits – complemented by linear feeders, which can carry four parts simultaneously.
T10-VT also features dual tapping heads with synchronised servomotors, mounted on a vertical sliding head and driven by a ball screw drive unit. A conveyor belt with an anti-shock system also enables reliable and damage-free transport of parts.
Other features include an indexing table with four divisions and direct drive rotation to guarantee precise operation; a quick tooling changeover to minimise downtime; as well as an integrated electronic system to monitor tap stress based on spindle motor absorption, ensuring ‘real time’ quality control for up to two parts simultaneously. This system, created in collaboration with Marposs, sensors the force and torque of each tap, enabling the detection of issues before they escalate, without halting production.
Mounted on a monobloc basement to support the frame, while also containing liquids such as lubricants, hydraulic oils, and coolants, the T10-VT tapping machine has been designed with the operator in mind, as well as to keep the workspace clean and minimise environmental impact. All adjustments are positioned at operator height – from the part feeding system to the operational area and the finished part exit –
helping to ensure ease of use and maximising comfort. In addition, the T10-VT is equipped with a soundproof enclosure to ensure a safer and quieter work environment for operators.
