Description
ANCHU TapArm 360 US – Servo Articulating Tapping Machine
The ANCHU TapArm 360 US is a servo-driven articulating arm tapping machine engineered for high-speed, repeatable tapping and drilling cycles across large tables and fixtures. Built for US job shops, OEMs, and fabrication cells, it delivers consistent thread quality and fast cycle times while freeing up valuable machining center spindle hours.
Reach: 360° coverage · Power: 480 V 3-phase · Control: NC/CNC-style
Key advantages for US buyers
- Servo-driven articulating arm provides 360° reach for tapping across large tables and fixtures without repositioning parts.
- High-speed spindle enables efficient drilling and rigid tapping cycles for small to medium tap sizes.
- Programmable speeds, feeds, and depths for consistent results across steel, stainless, aluminum, and cast materials.
- NC/CNC-style control stores part programs and tapping patterns for repeat jobs and quick changeovers.
- Compact footprint allows integration into production cells or use as a dedicated tapping station.
- Supports three-phase 480 V power, with options for single-phase 240 V via phase converters or transformers.
Key technical specifications
Tapping capacity: Small to medium tap sizes (exact range confirmed at order and tooling selection)
Handles a wide range of thread sizes suitable for most production tapping applications.
Machine style: Long-reach servo articulating arm
Provides extended reach and flexibility for tapping multiple holes across large workpieces.
Spindle: High-speed, suitable for drilling and rigid tapping
Supports both pilot hole drilling and rigid tapping within the rated capacity.
Control: NC/CNC-style
Enables storage of part programs and repeatable tapping patterns for production runs.
Reach: 360° coverage area around mounting point
Maximizes access to large fixtures and tables without moving parts.
Power: Three-phase 480 V class (other voltages on request)
Compatible with standard US industrial power; can use phase converters/transformers for single-phase 240 V.
Air requirements: Standard shop air for tool clamping and auxiliary functions
Integrates easily into existing shop pneumatic systems.
Capabilities & typical applications
This machine is ideal as a dedicated tapping station in production cells, or for pulling tapping work off machining centers to boost throughput and free up valuable spindle time.
- Tapping multiple holes on large tables, fixtures, and machine frames without repositioning parts
- Processing steel, stainless, aluminum, and cast materials within the rated capacity
- Supporting high-mix/low-volume and repeat production jobs in metalworking, general fabrication, and contract manufacturing
- Ideal for brackets, panels, enclosures, machine frames, and custom fixtures
Implementation & support for US shops
We work closely with US job shops and OEMs to ensure smooth installation and integration. Our team can review your parts, materials, and tapping requirements to confirm the best fit before purchase. We support pre-install checks for power, floor layout, and material flow, and can assist with basic program setup, tooling strategies, and operator training.
Next step: Send us a few sample parts or tapping requirements, and we’ll confirm fit, cycle time, and configuration for your application.
