With the birth of Catalog 40 it can be said that a double step forward has been made regarding production within UFS.

The "standard" UFS male covers the normal needs of users, in compliance with DIN standards. 
There are over 5,000 products in the catalogue. UFS also produces threading tools upon specific customer request; the production of this type of tool accounts for approximately 30% of the company's turnover. Also pads and dies with thread control and calibration tools (calipers).

UFS tools are divided into 4 product lines, with increasing functional performance and durability which offer the customer the possibility of achieving better savings in their production.

The LINE with HSSE steel tools, the PLUS with the use of steels with a higher cobalt content, the S-PLUS for tough steels and with latest generation finishes combined with TiN-G coatings and the TOP which represents the spearhead of the UFS production with tools designed for the processing of specific materials, including powdersintered steels, and with plasma coatings (PVD).

Highly resistant, for processing materials up to 52 HRC, they are PM sintered super-rapid steel taps with high percentages of vanadium and cobalt and available with surface treatments that present high resistance to wear and oxidation.

For stainless steel, ideal for difficult-to-machine and long-chipping steels. The basic steels are HSSV3 type, with 3% vanadium, or PM sintered steel with high vanadium and cobalt content. The cutting geometries and the TXC treatment prevent the formation of the built-up edge.

For light aluminum alloys, long-chipping copper alloys and soft magnetic iron and aluminum alloys with silicon.

Available with alternating AZ thread which avoids the formation of the chip bundle with a reduced number of cuts and large discharge compartments.

For cast iron, made of PM super-fast steel with low cutting angle which, combined with accentuated dorsal relief, make this type of tap suitable for processing abrasive materials. They have an increased tolerance of the 6HX type and a TIAIN coating, combined with micro surface finishing processes. Also with short chamfer for tapping with reduced exhaust chamber or 25° helical tapping for applications on steel cast iron (steel castings).

For titanium, PM powder steel products with particular cutting geometries. 15° left helix for through holes, 15° right helix for blind holes.

Also available in 4HX tolerance and with TICN treatment for processing the most demanding alloys.

For nickel, with reinforced body structure. 10° left flute for through holes and 10° right flute with chip breaker for application on blind holes, also in 4HX tolerance, and 25° helical taps with rear taper.

For synchronized rigid tapping, in quality powder sintered steels, the taps are ground to h6 shank tolerance to ensure maximum precision athigh cutting speeds. They can also be used in the case of shrink fit chucks.

In solid carbide with straight cuts for processing very abrasive materials. Available with central hole for the passage of lubricant and with TICN surface coating.

PM sintered steel forming taps. The coatings are combined with particular surface preparation processes to minimize friction between the tool and the material to be machined. Available with and without grooves, also in 6HX and 6GX tolerances and with central hole of the internal lubricant type FOR or in mode with radial outlets type FORY. And K-ROLL forming taps for high-performance applications on medium-high strength materials.

Tool hardening is fully assisted and certified in UFS. The surface treatments (PVD), starting from vaporization and up to the coating with chromium nitride, titanium nitride, titanium carbonitride, titanium and aluminum nitride, also formulated and calibrated in UFS in relation to the performances required 'tool.
