Fasteners are one of the most essential products of every manufacturing industry. In this article, we will discuss modern fastener tapping machines, and tooling methods. Fasteners are mainly used for creating the non-permanent joint between two or more mechanical parts whereas some of them are also used for permanent joining.
Jarvis Cutting Tools is an American-based cutting tools manufacturing company which provides services in the design and development of various precision cutting tools which includes Standard Taps, ROTARY FILES, HSS Drills, Thread Gages, Thread Mills, and special tools. Jarvis uses state-of-the-art machines for manufacturing taps which produce high-quality products with extreme precision, accuracy, and consistency.
Material selection and applications for fasteners
Material selection plays a vital role in manufacturing affordable, high-quality, and sustainable fasteners for different industries. Around 90% of fasteners are produced by Steel. A list of material used for manufacturing fasteners is as below;
- Carbon steel
- Stainless steel
- Aluminum
- Titanium
- Brass and bronze
- Non-metallic
Fastener Taps produced by Jarvis Cutting Tools provide high operational reliability in aerospace, automobile, agriculture, and other manufacturing industries.
Fastener tapping machines
There are a lot of tapping machines that are used by the industry. The machine selection depends upon the product and production requirements. Some of the most commonly used machines for fastener tapping are as followed;
- Vertical tapping machine
- Horizontal tapping machine
- Double station thread tapping machine
- Round nuts two spindles automatic tapping machine
- Rivet nuts high-speed automatic tapping machine

Vertical tapping machine
This machine is capable to tap left and right-hand threads at the same time. The coolant is supplied through the center of the tool in order to maintain the temperature at the cutting edge of the tool. Using a vertical tapping machine is economical for fastener tapping and it provides easy change over times.
Horizontal tapping machine
A horizontal tapping machine has the ability to tap fasteners at high speed and accuracy. Because the machine is horizontal and gravity does not help remove the chips, a horizontal machine is generally not as desirable as a vertical machine. The size of the horizontal tapping machine depends upon the production requirements.
Double station thread tapping machine
This machine is easy to operate and adjust. It comes with a fully automatic design with high efficiency. An advance optional PLC, or CNC, control system is also supplied with this machine. The double station thread tapping machine is widely used as a thread tapping machine for fasteners and is often paired with a vibratory hopper for automatic part alignment and loading. The operator will load the job and the rest of the work will be carried out by machine.
Round nuts two spindles automatic tapping machine
This machine is specifically used for the automatic tapping of round nuts. It comes with a high production rate and delivers excellent product quality.
Rivet nuts high-speed automatic tapping machine
Rivet nuts automatic tapping machine is designed to tap rivet nuts with high accuracy. It is also used in various industries to produce fasteners by cold forging technique. Different types of fastener taps can be produced by this machine.
Jarvis Cutting Tools uses modern technology for the design and development of fastener taps. We are extremely concerned about our customer satisfaction through affordable and high-performance products and on-time delivery with replacement warranty. Almost all the taps used in the fastener industry are coated with PVD coatings. [More on Coatings]
Jarflo taps from Jarvis Cutting Tools
Jarflo taps are produced by Jarvis Cutting Tools and they are used for tapping in various applications which includes fasteners, in-die tapping, and sucker rod coupling. They are designed to reduce the torque requirement by 50% in comparison to other form taps in the market.
In-Die taps for fastener tapping
In-die taps are used for tapping purposes in the fasteners. They can be used with CNC or manually operated machines to develop inside threads in the fasteners. It belongs to the category of form taps in which the metal or material is displaced to form the pattern. Some of the advantages of using form taps are given below;
- Form taps are stronger as compare to the cutting taps.
- It provides chipless tapping.
- Long service life which reduces maintenance cost.
- Threads generated by the form tool are stronger as compare to the threads generated by the cutting tool.
- Threads formed by form taps provide better thread gaging.
We have studied in detail about the fasteners, their types, machines, and the tools used for tapping purposes. If you need any tap for fastener tapping, Jarvis Cutting Tools is your manufacturer for tapping tools. Jarvis can optimize the design to increase productivity and also provides the lowest cost-per-hole. Using high-quality tools for tapping results in reducing the maintenance cost of the tool due to its long tool life and the threads developed by these taps are stronger and possess good thread gaging.
