Torque-Monitored Thread Tapping Machine by Taurox

The Tauro product series features a direct drive system that enables highly sensitive torque monitoring, low spindle inertia, and excellent protection against tool breakage—making it suitable for a wide range of thread tool sizes. Models Taurox 300 to 900 are equipped with a reduction gearbox, allowing them to achieve high torque for machining particularly large threads, despite low power consumption.

Taurox tapping machines monitor every machining step in real time and intervene proactively—before tool breakage or damage to the workpiece can occur. With a range of integrated quality monitoring features and intelligent evaluation functions, they ensure the highest level of process reliability and consistent manufacturing quality. Their seamless integration into existing automation environments makes them a future-proof solution for modern production lines.
