All-Purpose Tap Series EXOTAP A-Tap is an all-purpose tap series designed to simplify tool management and to excel in a wide variety of materials and applications. To achieve trouble-free chip evacuation with a spiral tap in blind holes and improve the ejection of chips, the new A-Tap SFT has adopted a variable helix flute design, which encourages stable chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. The helix angle changes from the chamfer,
where chips are formed, to the flutes, where chips are evacuated. This unique geometry enables greater chip control that can help produce tightly compacted chips for easy ejection from the hole. The A-Tap series is compatible with general steel. It also excels in difficult-to-machine materials such as stainless steel and mild steel. OSG Tap & Die Inc. Ph: 800-837-2223 Web site:

Rigid, Accurate Swiss Machining The SR-20RIVB Swiss-type automatic lathe is designed for high rigidity and accuracy, reduced machining time, and improved capability for manufacturing complex components. Additional tool positions and full B axis on cross working (three spindle attachment) offer capability for machining com- plicated com- ponents in one operation. The 27-tool station can accommo- date as many as 41 tools, provid- ing a variety of tools for machin- ing require-
ments, including deep-hole drilling, full B-axis machining, with C axis on main and subspindles. Star’s Motion Control System ensures an uninterrupted toolpath and reduction of non-productive time. Features include a specially-designed tool post for back- working and a Y-axis control function with eight tool positions. SR-20RIVB’s main and subspindles use built-in motors and sensors to improve indexing accuracy. Star CNC Machine Tool Corp. Ph: 516-484-0500 Web site:

ManufacturingEngineeringMedia.com | May 2014 Flexible Swiss Turning Centers
Goodway SW Swiss-type turning centers are available for machining workpieces with 20, 32, and 42-mm maximum diameters. The SW series offers flexible operations such as turning, milling and cross drilling using a different combina- tion of power systems, main-spindle, subspindle, front-end tooling, rear-end tooling, C axis and live tools. Workpieces can be finished on the machine, allowing two operations to be machined simultaneously. The SW Series features modular spindle construction. The spindle can be exchanged to be bush-type or bushless-type depending on different work requirements. The bushless design is suitable for machining cold-forged bar, and the remaining bar can be less than 50 mm to save material cost. The bush-type can be rotated with high speed for less surface damage and to increase working performance. Yama Seiki USA Inc. Ph: 909-628-5568 Web site:
