When the Premiere Die Casting Co, Avenel, NJ, began machining large quantities of its casting, the choices of drilling and tapping spindles were numerous. The company chose Sotech Corp, North Prairie, WI, to supply its drilling and tapping units to machine holes ranging from 0.098" dia at 7000 rpm to rollform tapping of 1"-12 threads, pressure tested for leaks. Ed Zaremba of Premiere says: "The Sotech drill and tap equipment features simple, yet very effective controls which contribute to the high production uptime we experience on these machines. Also the multispindle heads have been reliable in our tough rolltapping operations." He also says the Sotech 2 spindle system allows drillingtapping in one pass.
