Description
Bernardo Electric Tapping Machine TM 12 BLO / R 1500
The Bernardo Electric Tapping Machine TM 12 BLO / R 1500 is suitable for rapid and precise tapping of holes from M3 to M12 in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals. It features a micro-spray system for constant cooling with minimal coolant consumption and a blowing device that keeps the work area clean and visible at all times. The articulated arm with a 1500 mm operating radius allows great freedom of movement, while the motor unit, inclinable from 0° to 90°, enables tapping in any position. The quick-change chuck with integrated safety clutch prevents accidental tap breakage. With a variable speed of 150–600 rpm, a touchscreen with digital depth indication, and a 600 W, 230 V electric motor, it is a compact (29 kg), efficient, and versatile machine, suitable for workshops, carpentry, and production departments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between TM 12 and TM 24?
The TM 12 taps from M3 to M12 with a 600 W motor and speeds of 150–600 rpm — for standard tapping in workshops, maintenance departments, and carpentry. The TM 24 taps from M5 to M24 with a 1,200 W motor and speeds of 70–200 rpm — for large diameter tapping requiring higher torque. The TM 24 is slower but more powerful. The choice depends on the maximum diameter of the holes to be tapped: M12 covers 90% of standard applications, M24 is necessary for heavy metal structures.
What do BLO / R in the name mean and what do they include?
BLO indicates the micro-spray system (Blowing/Lubrication Oil) for automatic cooling and lubrication during tapping — minimal coolant consumption compared to traditional flood systems. R indicates the blowing device (Blowing) for chip removal. The final number (1100, 1500, 1200) indicates the operating radius of the articulated arm in mm.
Does the quick-change chuck protect taps from breakage?
Yes — the integrated safety clutch in the DIN quick-change chuck trips when the torque exceeds the set value, stopping rotation before the tap breaks. The tripping torque is adjusted based on the tap diameter and the material to be tapped. This component most reduces the risk of breaking expensive taps in tough materials such as stainless steel and high-strength steels.
On what materials does the TM BLO series work?
Steel S235 and S355 — without problems up to maximum capacity. Stainless steel AISI 304 and 316 — reduce speed by 50–60% and increase coolant concentration. Aluminum — maximum speed with specific cutting oil for aluminum. The stated maximum material resistance is 400 N/mm²; for high-strength steels (over 600 N/mm²) check with Krollit.
Are assistance and spare parts available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 business days shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
