Electric tapping arm machine are machines used in industrial and artisanal fields to perform threading on metal components or in other materials, operating with normal electrical power. Our electric tapping machines are characterized by a special balanced articulated arm in aluminum that in addition to blocking the torques due to the processing guarantees a fast and precise alignment of the tool.
