Electric Tapping Machine
Electric Tapping Machine – Reliable Threading Without Air or Oil Lines
If your shop still runs tapping on pneumatic or hydraulic setups, you already know the hidden cost – compressors, power packs, oil seals, and constant maintenance just to keep the tapping line running. An electric tapping machine solves this by running on simple direct electricity, available in any factory unit. This tapping machine cuts internal threads into pre-drilled holes using an electric motor for power, instead of pressurized air or hydraulic oil. There’s no need to install or maintain a separate air compressor or hydraulic power pack just to run the tapping arm.
We, at Axios Machines, build these as programmable, servo-driven units, since electric motors hold torque steadily and don’t lose power the way pneumatic or hydraulic systems do when pressure or flow drops. We are one of the top electric tapping machine manufacturers in India, using the latest technology and tools to build these machines. Every machine is tested on the shop floor before dispatch, so you get consistent tapping performance from day one.
Available Tapping Machine Models
AXIOS Electric Tapping Machine – Built on Mitsubishi Servo Technology
These machines run on a Mitsubishi 3-phase servo motor and gearbox, which is rated for a very long working life with almost zero maintenance. Because the motor runs on direct electric power, there’s no torque loss even if your factory sees voltage fluctuation — the built-in isolation transformer manages that for you. The auto/peck cycle and 360° universal head let you tap straight, angled, or horizontal holes on the same machine.
An electric arm tapping machine also gives you something pneumatic and hydraulic units can’t: programmable depth control with auto-reverse. The moment the tap reaches a set depth, the machine reverses on its own, so the operator doesn’t have to watch and manually reverse every single tap. That auto-reverse alone cuts clutch slippage and extends adaptor life significantly over time.
As trusted electric tapping machine Suppliers in India, AXIOS focuses on matching the right model – from single-arm to double-arm configurations – to your actual production volume, not just pushing a standard catalog unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a tapping machine powered directly by electricity instead of compressed air or hydraulic oil, using a servo motor to control tapping speed, depth, and reverse automatically.
Yes, for most factory setups. Electric machines don’t need a compressor or power pack, have far lower maintenance, and don’t lose torque when air pressure or oil flow drops.
It only draws power when the machine is actually tapping, unlike pneumatic setups where the compressor runs continuously to keep air ready.
Yes, AXIOS electric tapping machines tap MS, EN8D, EN19, and stainless steel jobs with the correct tap and adaptor selection.
Depending on the model, AXIOS electric tapping machines cover a wide thread range across MM, BSW, BSP, NPT, and UNC standards.
A 3-phase servo motor performs 25-35% more powerfully than a single-phase motor of the same rating, which means higher torque and longer motor life.
With a Mitsubishi 3-phase servo motor and gearbox, these motors are built for long-term, almost maintenance-free operation, even in continuous multi-shift use.
AXIOS Machines manufactures and supplies electric tapping machines directly from its Rajkot, Gujarat facility, with delivery and support across India.
