Hand taps in a cell that is supposed to be hands-off

The program drills and the cell is sold as unattended, but three holes per part are still hand tapped at the bench because the rigid tap alarmed last year. The bench is now the bottleneck.

Put the tap back in the machine with a real thread depth, a rigid tap holder or a tension holder that matches the control, and a cycle that reverses clean. The alarm from last year is not a reason to tap fifty parts by hand forever.

If the material is gummy, use a tap with a relief and a peck thread cycle rather than a person with a wrench.

Count the hand-tap time in the quote. If it stays at the bench, the price and the promise of an unattended cell are both wrong.
