Tap drills for truck brake disks
Fit for Mass: Tap drills for truck brake disks "Fit for mass production" (Fit for Mass) is the slogan when turning standard tools into high-capacity serial-production tools. To achieve this step, the engineering experts of LMT Tools work in close cooperation with the users. Often, even small application- specific modifications result in significant improvements, as an example from thread processing in China shows. Brake disks must withstand very high thermo-mechanical stress. The following applies to the thread of these workpieces: The cohesion must be optimal even under long-term stress. For one of LMT Tools' application cases, a Chinese automotive supplier produced brake disks for trucks, which also included the production of threads, size M 14 x 1.5. Prior to this, tap drills made of hi
