Developing taps is a very long process. It begins with the blanks which are normed, then finding all the dimensions to create blanks from 1.00 mm up to 62 mm for through and blind holes, looking for all the tolerances and developing the blanks form, all this needs a lot of time. With TapPro you can do it in a minute. It gives you all measures you request to build up your range.

To develop a new geometry without background knowledge is a long way. You start with the first series and you will soon see that you have to adjust your parameter. At this stage you will not know where you have to make the adaptation according to the application you are build up.  TapPro helps you with the Genius all the way on. You will find the support to adapt your geometry on the troubleshooting area of the software. The geometry is the most complicate part of the tap. You need geometry for steel with a low and hight expansion coefficient [ 10 % to 60 % ] as well as for low or high strength materials [ 600 N/mm² up to 1’500 N/mm² ]. TapPro gives you geometry values for 15 different material classes. For standard taps as well as for high performance taps. The software calculates you for through holes the chamfer, for the flute the relevant data such as cutting angle, cutting length, flute number soul diameter, flute wide, Bridge wide and more as well adapted geometry according to the cutting material. The calculation of the diameters, the division relief of the thread, the thread relief, the back tape, the chamfer, the relief in chamfer and all you need to have a successful geometry working for your application.
