Manufacturing Technology

BASS has extended its product range for tapping in the fastener industry, now offering its nut tap AMGB V from diameter M8 x 1.25mm, or M8 x 1mm, as well as corresponding UNC as well as UNF threads.

AMGB V is designed to be connected to the shank via a cartridge. If the torque gets too high, only the cartridge breaks, leaving the tool and shank unharmed. As well as this, another new product from BASS GmbH is the AMGB RM with the shank already welded on. The combined product is available with a bent or straight shank to match the machine connection and is used especially for small dimensions.

BASS has also expanded its range of tapping tools for union nuts, added new coatings, as well as new thread types – such as G-threads, and dimensions up to M36 x 2mm. BASS points out that the combination of tap and reamer is especially used to produce union nuts. Threads for union nuts can thus be produced in a reversing tapping cycle.

Selecting the ideal tool can be difficult, with the different raw materials of the fasteners; the chosen forming process; the required tolerances; and other operating conditions. Accordingly, BASS not only takes care of the tool configuration, but also offers the best service for the entire process – right all the way through to series production support.

More information on how to combine long tool life, high process reliability, and economical production in the fastener industry, will be presented at the BASS trade fair booth in Düsseldorf or at any time directly via the company headquarters in southern Germany.
