Auto Handle Tapping Machine | Twin Vertical Taps
An automatic twin-spindle tapping machine threads the mounting ends of bent hollow aluminum handles - parts placed by hand, both ends tapped in one cycle.
Key Specifications
- Materials
- Bent hollow flat aluminum handles
Key Features
- Taps both handle ends automatically per cycle
- Twin vertical spindles with belt drive
- Status lights show machine running state
- Handles rest on simple fixture stops
How Does an Automatic Tapping Machine Thread Handle Ends in One Cycle?
Short answer: Twin vertical taps drop onto both ends at once. This video shows bent hollow aluminum handles placed on the fixture of an automatic tapping machine - the belt-driven spindles run an automatic cycle that cuts mounting threads into both ends in one go, and the tapped handles pile up on the table.
What the Video Demonstrates
| Stage | Equipment | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Place | Bent handles set on fixture stops | Both ends under the taps |
| Cycle | Automatic twin vertical spindles | Two threads cut in one pass |
| Status | Panel lights on the machine | Operator sees run state at a glance |
| Collect | Tapped handles on the table | Fast batch accumulation |
Key Applications
- Hollow-profile crank handles with screwed mounting
- Aluminum cabinet and furniture hardware lines
- Finishing station after handle bending
- High-volume tapping with one operator
Automatic Twin-Spindle vs. Manual Single Tapping
| Criterion | Manual single tap | Automatic twin spindle |
|---|---|---|
| Holes per cycle | One | Both ends at once |
| Thread consistency | Operator feel | Machine-controlled depth |
| Placement | Align and hold | Drop onto stops |
| Output per operator | Low | Handles pile up in minutes |
FAQ
What parts are tapped in the video? Bent hollow flat aluminum crank handles - the same profile family produced on the company's benders.
Is the tapping cycle automatic? Yes - once the part is placed, the twin spindles run the tapping cycle automatically under timer control, with status lights on the panel.
Can the machine tap more than two holes per part? Spindle count and spacing are configured to your part; two-end and multi-hole versions are built on the same platform.
