Drilling & Tapping
Our FlexArm equipment allows Alro Plastics to offer in house capability of
part tapping and Helicoil inserts. The FlexArm keeps the Helicoil insertion
tool perpendicular to the work piece. The depth control ability offers consistency from part to part whether tapping or inserting helicoils.
A FlexArm Tapping Machine will take care of prep work such as reaming,
chamfering and deburring. Eliminate setup time in the mill and reduce
material handling. Save time and money by easily articulating a FlexArm
tapping arm directly over the work piece.
Helicoil Size Offerings:
Standard: 8-32, 10-24, 10-32, 1/4-20, 3/8-20, 1/2-13
Metric: M3-0.5, M4-0.7, M5-0.8, M6 x 1.0, M8 x 1.25, M10 x 1.5
Drills with special cut tips made for Plastics to help
reduce cracking, crazing and stress from drilling.
The flexibility of the FlexArm machine allows for
drilling, tapping and the insertion of Helicoils.
The FlexArm keeps the Helicoil insertion tool
perpendicular to the work piece at all time.
