ANCA Software Monitors Thermal Growth in Tap Production
Motor Temperature Control removes fluctuations caused by thermal growth, providing greater precision and consistency in tap production.

ANCA’s Motor Temperature Control (MTC) technology is designed to enable the consistent production of high-quality taps by addressing a key challenge: thermal growth.
MTC is designed to solve the problem of inaccuracy and variation caused by thermal expansion by regulating and maintaining a controlled manufacturing environment. It enables operators to set the spindle temperature for production, and the machine automatically monitors and maintains that temperature. By stabilizing the spindle’s thermal environment, MTC removes fluctuations caused by thermal growth, providing greater precision and consistency in tap production.
Thermal variation in the spindle contributes to variation in tool dimensional accuracy, ANCA says, and OD finish operations are particularly sensitive to this. Using MTC can significantly improve OD consistency over a batch.
According to ANCA, controlling the production environment with MTC enhances the accuracy, quality, and finish of the tap, leading to improved thread quality and surface finish; enhanced thread engagement and load-bearing capacity; increased thread wear and durability; and reduced cutting forces and improved lifespan.
