BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in
understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the
information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed
invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Conventionally, components are placed on the fixture for tapping
operation and there are high chances of placing them on the fixture accurately since the jobs need to be placed again and again to get them tapped. The component after M3 tapping was done are stored in bins and then moved to another conventional tapping machine for M4 tapping Operation to be carried out. Also, the magazine used are not able to hold the components of different dimensions. Thus, every time tapping is performed, a relevant magazine need to be installed first. Time consumption is more due to single stroke tapping and material movement.
[0004] There is, therefore, a need of an improved tapping apparatus that is
free from above discussed problems.
