wire® stand 15.G15

At this year’s wire® show, BASS, a specialist for the machining of internal threads, will be setting its focus on the machining of internal threads within fastening elements.

High-quality materials, adapted geometries, and new coatings, enable thread cutting and roll tapping with a higher cutting speed and therefore lead to an increase in performance. The lower machining time and high tool life also reduce the production costs.

With the DURAMAX family, BASS GmbH & Co KG offers a thread forming tool in all standard dimensions for a process reliable machining. New coatings specifically tailored to the particular application, for example the innovative BT-coating, lead to higher tool life.

The combination of threading tool and reamer is perfectly suitable for the production of union nuts, with the threads for the union nuts manufactured in a reversing tapping cycle. The tools with reamer are customised for each application individually and provide higher tool life and consistent process reliability.

BASS has also developed a tool solution consisting of three components for the fully automated production of nuts in a run-over tapping process. This three part system – produced with the AMGB V – captivates by its reusability of shank and threading tool.

The cartridge connects the tap nip with the bent shank. The cartridge has a predetermined breaking point that ensures – even under high torque as a result of tool wear – the assembly of the shank and tap is intentionally disconnected, so that both elements are reusable.
