Microtap USA, Inc. has been a supplier of equipment and services to the scientific metalworking community for over 20 years. Our latest model, the LT-120, will measure and analyze up to 120 tapping events in a single setup.

The LT-120 is comprised of an instrumented tapping machine built by Tauro® and an autoindexing table to enhance repeatability and productivity. Control and data collection are carried out using the included software and PC.

In addition to our laboratory instruments Microtap USA, Inc. also represents the complete Tauro® line of tapping machines for production use. Our systems and tapping machines are found in laboratory and production facilities worldwide.

Microtap USA’s latest model, the LT-120, addresses issues of flexibility, power and accuracy found with competitor or legacy machines. The LT-120 has both a wider range of available rpm and a higher maximum torque. The tests and procedures are economical, well documented and quick to carry out. The net result is that product modifications, manufacturing quality and competitive products can quickly be measured.

Microtap USA, Inc. has a full-service testing lab using the LT-120 to evaluate coolants and straight oils. The TauroLink® software controls testing, records torque curves, calculates mean torque values and carries out other statistical analyses. Reports are sent in a standardized Excel format containing expert interpretation and supporting graphs and tables. Chemical and mechanical experts are also available to discuss custom procedures or formulating ideas. Samples are retained for at least sixty days in case of questions or follow up work.

Microtap USA carries a complete line of precision TestBars and taps for both LT-120 and legacy testers. We also have difficult to find add on-items such as quick change adapters, multi-hole reservoirs, update kits and tape.
