Sugino Machine Co., Ltd. STA-103-16A Synchro Tapper

The Sugino Machine Co., Ltd. STA-103-16A Synchro Tapper is a servo-driven, mechanically fed tapping unit designed for high-precision, automated threading in drilling-and-tapping setups. As part of Sugino’s Synchro Tapper family, it provides synchronized rotation and linear feed to deliver repeatable threads with tight positional accuracy, and supports programmable tapping cycles controlled by a servo drive. Typical Synchro Tapper configurations offer rapid tapping up to 4,000 min-1 and a forward-end repeatability of around ±0.03 mm, with features such as secondary-origin setting for frequent tapping and the ability to store multiple tapping programs. The STA-103-16A is intended for integration with standard machining centers and production lines that require efficient, automated threading, including applications involving blind-hole tapping and production of threaded components in steel or aluminum workpieces. Its adjustable stroke and programmable motion enable tailoring to tool and material needs, making it suitable for high-volume threaded-hole production and automated drilling-tapping stations in general manufacturing.
