A new concept in tapping and cold forming of threads.
The Bilz range of WFLC and WFLC K tapping systems, with
extension and compression, are designed for use on both manual
and numerically controlled machines.
The new concept is characterised by the asymmetric arrangement
of the balls which results in the optimum distribution of force, thus
making the length compensation superior to previous systems,
which, when combined with a stiff initial cutting pressure, ensure
accuracy and effective operation under the most difficult of machining
conditions.
The length compensation is unaffected by the hydrostatic neutral
coolant feed, and the WFLC K chuck is designed to operate with
internal coolant up to 50 bar pressure. The changing of tap adaptors
is effected simple and effective and does not affect the
systems of the chuck.
Because of its modular shank system, and by utilising the Bilz WA
toolholder, it is possible to use the Bilz WFLC on numerous machine
configurations.
Both the WFLC and WFLC K tapping systems are maintenance
free and therefore maintain a high level of long term efficiency.
