SCM S.r.l.
SCM's high-performance tapping toolholders set the standard for precision, durability, and versatility in machining applications. SCM tools deliver unparalleled thread quality, extended tool life, and enhanced productivity. Whether your operations demand synchronized or non-synchronized tapping, SCM offers the right solution to optimize your machining processes.
Each rotary toolholder is manufactured from 18 NiCrMo5 Nickel-Chrome alloy steel and case-hardened surface of 58-60 Rockwell "C" with a core hardness of 40-45 Rockwell "C." This ensures that SCM toolholders are built to withstand the rigors of machining environments while maintaining a long service life. The toolholder tapers meet or exceed AT3 tolerance specifications, with roundness tolerance held to an impressive .00008”. This level of accuracy ensures perfect alignment and delivers threads with exceptional quality and reliability.
Central to SCM’s innovation is the Syncrolize System, a groundbreaking quick-change tapping chuck and tap adapter that offers micro-compensation, unmatched rigidity, and precise alignment. This system not only improves thread quality but also reduces cycle times and extends tap life, making it the ultimate solution for synchronized tapping applications. We represent SCM in Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Kentucky and West Virginia.

Syncrolize System
|
SCM's patented Syncrolize System represents a new generation of tapping technology, featuring a quick-change tapping chuck and tap adapter designed for synchronized tapping. This advanced system offers micro-compensation, exceptional rigidity, and precise alignment, resulting in significantly improved thread quality, increased tap-hole yields, and extended tap life.
The Syncrolize System is engineered to manage much higher axial and radial forces, particularly during the critical moment of reversal when the first threads of the tap experience the highest stress. SCM’s innovative micro-compensation technology effectively reduces these forces, minimizing tap damage and preserving both precision and tool life. What sets the Syncrolize System apart is its differentiated compensation mechanism. During extension, the system reduces axial force, easing the stress on the tap during reversal. In compression, it ensures consistent thread depth, guaranteeing the highest level of accuracy and reliability in your tapping operations. With the Syncrolize System, SCM delivers a powerful combination of performance and durability, revolutionizing the standards of synchronized tapping. |
Tension & Compression System
|
The Tension & Compression System by SCM is an ideal solution for non-synchronized tapping, offering minor axial adjustments that significantly reduce stress on taps. This advanced system enhances threading accuracy and extends tool life, even in demanding machining conditions.
Designed to compensate for spindle over-rotation, the Tension & Compression System prevents cross-threading and ensures a smoother entry and exit of the tap, resulting in higher-quality threads. It features a large axial stroke, which effectively offsets the difference between tap pitch and machine feed, providing consistent and reliable performance. The system’s ball retainer enables smooth axial compensation, ensuring perfect thread tolerance, while its ability to control tapping depth with precision—±0.1 mm—further enhances its reliability. Additionally, the use of quick-change tap adapters streamlines tool changes, improving efficiency and minimizing downtime. With the Tension & Compression System, SCM delivers a robust and versatile solution for non-synchronized tapping applications. |
Rigid System
|
The Rigid System by SCM is specifically designed for high-speed synchronized tapping, offering unparalleled stability and vibration reduction.
This system is perfect for demanding production environments, ensuring consistent and reliable performance across a wide range of applications. Engineered for fast, rigid tapping, the Rigid System eliminates the need for axial compensation, delivering precise and efficient results. By utilizing quick-change tap adapters, it simplifies tool changes and boosts productivity. Compared to a standard collet chuck, the Rigid System offers a faster and easier solution, making it an invaluable tool for high-speed tapping operations that demand accuracy and efficiency. With SCM’s Rigid System, you can achieve optimal performance and superior thread quality in even the most challenging manufacturing scenarios. |
Rigid & Torque Control Tap Adapters
SCM’s Rigid and Torque Control Tap Adapters are engineered to provide versatility and precision for a variety of tapping applications.
The Rigid Tap Adapters ensure maximum stability for synchronized tapping, offering a secure and precise connection between the tap and the chuck. This rigidity minimizes vibration and ensures accurate thread formation, even in high-speed or demanding production environments. The Torque Control Tap Adapters provide a unique advantage by preventing over-torque, which can lead to tap breakage or compromised threads. These adapters protect both the tool and the workpiece by releasing excessive force, ensuring consistent and high-quality threading while extending tool life. |
