Endless threading from Walter Tools

Added 10 March 2014

A new, special type of pre-treatment for the cutting tool material results in an improved surface which, in turn, leads to improved adhesion of the THL hard material coating.

The Walter Prototyp Prototex Eco Plus increases productivity in through-hole threads. The Prototex Eco Plus from the competence brand Walter Prototyp really stands out among through-hole taps. Above all, this is due to their universal application combined with outstanding performance. Thanks to new manufacturing techniques, Walter AG has succeeded in further optimising this multi-talented tool.

Like the Paradur Eco Plus - its counterpart for blind-hole threads - the Walter Prototyp Prototex Eco Plus has a wide field of application. This tool, which is designed specifically for through-hole threads up to 3.5xD, is manufactured from HSS-E-PM. It can be used for components of steel (ISO-P), stainless materials (ISO-M) up to 1350 N/mm2 , cast iron workpieces (ISO-K), especially GJS/GGG,  and non-ferrous metals (ISO-N), for example, AL wrought alloys, AlSi alloys with up to 12% Si content, and Cu wrought alloys or pure copper. Such versatility means that this tool is of interest to all machining sectors. In other words, in companies that have a wide range of products, this all-rounder can, if necessary, reduce tool changes on the machine and reduce the range of tools that are held in stock.
