In-Die Tapping
In-die tapping produces threads on the inside of a drilled hole in a part so that a fastener can be inserted to hold the component in place in the final application.
In-Die Tapping Services
In-die tapping produces threaded holes in stamped metal components during the stamping process, which can deliver several advantages when done right. Here’s how we ensure you reap the benefits of this advanced process.
Proper Tap and Workpiece Positioning
To yield in-spec results for metal stampings requiring in-die tapping, we combine smart tooling design with visual technology verification to ensure proper placement of threaded holes on your parts. You’ll rest assured that your finished stampings fit perfectly against their mating parts when placed in your application.
Proactive Design for Manufacturability
When parts are tapped, a small pucker results in the material on both faces of the part where the threaded hole terminates. This can cause issues when the finished part needs to sit flush against a mating part in an assembly and cause binding issues when fasteners are installed. We often counteract this effect by coining the area where the hole will be tapped, creating a small depression so the resulting pucker will not cause issues with the finished part. This is just one example of the details we consider when approaching your in-die tapping project.
Efficiency for Complex Parts
Similar to progressive die stamping, in-die tapping saves valuable time in your manufacturing process and enhances the repeatability of your parts.
