In this web cast we examine an innovative new threading concept, CoroThread 266, with applications in oil and gas, mechanical, and aerospace industries. Learn how this new threading approach inhibits movement in the insert and improves both accuracy and indexability.
The CoroMill 210 high feed milling cutter can be used for some face milling, ramping, circular milling and plunge milling. With a ten-degree entering angle, the cutter is capable of very high feed rates and consequently large removal rates. The small entering angle results in dominantly axial cutting forces, improving milling with longer tool reach, and a favorable chip-thinning effect.
Coromant Capto is the most stable tool-holding system available and is now an ISO-standard. It is a modular, quick-change system suitable for rotating and stationary tools, and as such can be used throughout an entire machine shop with different machinery. As a modular interface, it combines cutting tools, adaptors, extensions and basic holders to great flexibility.
Wind power is a red hot market. Experts predict that from 40,000 to 60,000 new wind turbines will be put into operation every year through 2020. But will future windmills look the way they always have? Not necessarily. Think kites, fluttering panels and flying islands with enormous arms.
To position itself in China’s rapidly expanding high-speed rail sector, Germany’s Voith Turbo has built what it says is the world’s most flexible factory and has been driving development of pioneering technologies for gear manufacturing with the help of Sandvik Coromant tooling.
Plans for the world’s largest solar power plant, the Blythe Solar Power Project, have been given the go-ahead by the California Energy Commission.
Modern steam and gas turbine components from high-performance alloys require dedicated tooling solutions and methods. Damped tools, dedicated geometries and grades as well as a high-precision coolant supply offer productive solutions.
Last month, the United States Departments of Interior and Energy announced a strategic plan to fund offshore wind energy projects, with incentives that will add up to $50.5 million over the next five years.
Production of most parts made from hard or hardened materials, defined as those at or more than 45 HRc, required dedicated grinding equipment and processes.
The components in a nuclear power plant may weigh as much as 100 tons. Still, they have to be precisely manufactured. Machining of these components can take a year, and making an error is not an option.
