safer, cleaner and more comfortable work environment; and compared to torch heating, induction is flameless and introduces less heat into the workplace. In addition to the environmental benefits, induction heating offers advantages to employees and businesses, as it eliminates smoke, waste heat, noxious emissions and loud noise.

13 E37 Bass, founded in 1947, develops, produces and distributes precision products for industrial threading applications for customers in the automotive and aviation industries, as well as mechanical engineering and medical technology. For wire 2022, Bass is extending its product range for tapping in the fastener industry. The German manufacturer now offers its AMGB V nut tap starting from diameter M8x1.25, or M8x1, and corresponding UNC and UNF threads. The AMGB V is designed to be connected to the shank via a cartridge. If the torque gets too high, only the cartridge breaks, leaving the tool and shank unharmed. Another new product is the AMGB RM, which has the shank welded on. The combined product is available with a bent or straight shank to match the machine connection and is particularly used for small dimensions. Bass has also expanded its range of tapping tools for union nuts, and added new coatings as well as new thread types, such as G-threads, and dimensions up to M36x2. The combination of tap and reamer is especially used to produce union nuts. Threads for union nuts can be produced in a reversing tapping cycle. With factors such as fastener raw materials, the chosen forming process, the required tolerances and other operating conditions, it can become difficult for nut manufacturers to select the right tool. Bass can not only take care of tool configuration, but can also offer service for the entire process, through to series production support. Information on how to combine long tool life, process reliability and economical production in the fastener industry will be presented at the Bass stand in Düsseldorf.
