Broken Tap removal – Compressor bed plate
Last week, our dedicated team had the opportunity to attend to a significant task involving the bed plate of a large compressor that was in the process of being manufactured. This task arose from an urgent enquiry regarding the removal of a broken M20 tap, which had snapped during the manufacturing of a compressor unit. Understanding the urgency of the situation, we mobilised promptly and were on-site the very next day. Our swift response ensured that production could resume with minimal downtime, thereby helping the client avoid potential delays and financial losses.
In cases like this, spark erosion stands out as the ideal solution for broken tap removal. The unique properties of the materials involved in manufacturing these taps make it extremely challenging to extract them using conventional methods without risking damage to the surrounding threads. Spark erosion utilises electrical discharges to precisely remove the broken tap while preserving the integrity of the threads.
To give you a better understanding of this sophisticated process, we invite you to watch a short clip of the machine in action. This video showcases the effectiveness and precision of spark erosion technology, demonstrating why it is the preferred method for such intricate tasks.
