Emuge Corp. has introduced a new line of high-performance JIS taps for tapping applications at companies manufacturing products with Japanese-specified standards. The new Emuge JIS Line includes a selection of taps and cold-forming taps. Shank diameter and square dimensions are in accordance with Japanese standards, and all Emuge JIS taps are uniquely designed to produce threads with a JIS Class 2 tolerance. “As part of our continued global expansion Emuge wants to recognize and offer key standards such as the unique specifications for Japanese automotive manufacturing,” according to Peter Matysiak, president. “Manufacturers who need to produce threads according to Japanese standards now have another choice for taps. Further, to provide for manufacturers located in Japan, Emuge has recently opened a branch office in Yokohama City.” Go online to [www.emuge.com].
