Preface

Please read thoroughly through all safety and operating instructions for HST-Synchro tap

holder. This helps to avoid severe injuries and enables you to achieve better results.

Safety measures and rules of behavior

When working with HST-Synchro e. g. initial operation, operation or maintenance, you

have to observe the advice given in this instruction manual.

All safety measures and on-site regulations have to be respected when working with

HST-Synchro. Please pay attention to the safety notes on the machine or other tools in

use. Never leave the machine door open during operation.

Adequate clothing

The rotating spindle of a machine tool can seize loose clothing or long hair. During operation

of a machine tool, please wear close-fitting clothes. Do not wear jewelry nor a tie nor gloves or

similar. Tie back long hair or wear a hairnet.

Eye protection

Please always wear safety goggles with side protection in order to protect your eyes from

flying parts.

Correct workpiece clamping

Never hold the workpiece or the clamp of the workpiece by hand. The workpiece has to be

fixed on the machine table in a way that it cannot be moved nor turned nor lifted.

Please note!

Be particularly vigilant when you stand close to the machining zone. The machining zone

includes the machining spot as well as all transmission elements including the tap holder.

Keep out of the machining zone as long as the spindle is rotating. Always be aware of

potential dangers of a machining operation. Working on a machine often seems to be simple

routine and you do not realize the lapse in concentration during work. This deceiving feeling

of security can result in severe injuries.

Application and Technical Data

Modern CNC machine tapping centers are designed to synchronize hole centerline spindle

rotation with the feed axis. However, due to machine wear out and misalignment, slight

variations do occur. Tap flanks must absorb the misaligned axial forces, what results in

premature tool wear and a drop of tool-life.

Herein lies the advantage of BASS HST-Synchro: It compensates CNC servo deficiencies and

provides an accurate thread pitch throughout the tapping cycle.

Specifications

•HST-Synchro is delivered together with the corresponding clamping nut, wrenches

and an instruction manual.

•Cutting / roll forming range – see table 1

•HST-Synchro can be used under normal working temperatures: 10-50° C.

•HST-Synchro KA is equipped with axial internal coolant (KA) and can be used with

lubrication pressure up to 80 bar (for HST-Synchro 20: only up to 30 bar).

•Choice of the right cutting / roll tap: Please use our taps and roll taps. They have

been specifically developed for operation with HST-Synchro. If you have any

questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

•Always use steel collets with square ER-GB. They guarantee a reliable torque

transmission during the tapping process.

•Programming for thread cutting / forming is carried out with the standard cutting

cycle.

Clamping of the Cutting Tool

Marking

Assembling sealing disk DS/ER

The disk must be flush with the outside of the nut and the

marking on the disk must be seen inside the nut.

Insert the small diameter of the disk into the center of the

clamping nut and apply even pressure until the disk is properly

seated into the nut.

Assembling collet ER-GB

Insert the groove of the collet into the eccentric ring of the

clamping nut at the mark on the bottom of the nut. Push the collet

in opposite direction until it engages audibly. Insert the tool.

Screw the clamping nut with the collet onto the tap holder.

Tighten the clamping nut with the provided wrenches. Mount

clamping nut and collet to the spindle.

Always enter the tool from the front side, so that the o-ring of

the sealing disk cannot be damaged. The clamping is

effected by the clamping nut with the provided wrenches –

see picture on page 6. Please respect the max. locking

torques – see table 2.

wrench

Use the wrenches as

shown in the picture

below.

Do not hold here when tightening the nut.

Use only the provided wrenches to

tighten the clamping nut. DO NOT

HOLD ON THE SHANK WHEN

TIGHTENING, because the spring

can be damaged.

Attention: When the clamping nut is not

tightened thoroughly, the tap may fall out or be

pulled out of the collet. This can damage tap

and tap holder.

Whenever possible, please use ER-GB collets.

Unclamping of the Cutting Tool

Loosen clamping nut

Pull out tap forwards

Disassembly

After removal of HST-Synchro: Unlatch the collet from the

clamping nut by lateral pressure on the rear part of the collet

opposite to the marking.

Removal of sealing disk

To remove the sealing disk, push on the sealing disk from the

outer side until it pops out.

Sources of Defect

Wrong handling affects true running of the

collet and can damage the clamping nut.

Before inserting the clamping nut make sure

that the collet is engaged properly! Never

clamp oversize shanks! e. g. Never use a

collet with Ø 12-11 mm for a tap with shank

Ø 12.2 mm. Please use the next larger collet

(here Ø 12.5-11.5 mm or Ø 13-12 mm).

Always try to clamp the tap shank along the

total length of the collet (but at least 2/3 the

length of the collet).

Storage

If you store HST-Synchro or if it is not in use, please see that it is dry and use oil to protect it

against corrosion.

Maintenance

HST-Synchro has to be cleaned in regular intervals depending on the degree of pollution. Do

not use aggressive solvents or loose fibers as e.g. cotton waste.

Checklist for Optimal Tapping

1. Check if the tap is new and has the right geometry for the intended application. It has to

be aligned correctly with the bore hole.

2. Check if the rpm of the machine spindles has been programmed correctly.

3. Are feed and feed stop correct, so that the tap will not hit the ground of the bore hole and

break?

4. Check if the workpiece is clamped firmly and that it will not become loose during

machining.

5. Did you pre-drill a bore hole with the correct diameter?

6. Check the programming of start and end position of the tool. At the end of the cycle the

tool must have left the bore hole completely.

7. Did you choose the right coolant / lubricant for the threading tool?

8. If you want to tap a blind hole, check if there is enough space for the chips.
