Tooling Solutions
Without the right application techniques, even the best tools can fall short of their potential. Sandvik Coromant can provide you with the latest developments in materials, coatings, and tooling technologies.
Search MyYellowCoat.com to find relevant articles, information and videos organized by machine process. Whether you're looking to improve stability, tool utilization, or reduce operations, we put your success in focus.
In this web cast, we introduce the Sandvik Coromant range of CBN inserts. The range offers increased productivity, high-quality finishing, and time and cost savings in hard part turning applications.
March 1st introduces the CoroDrill 860 from Sandvik Coromant as the fastest solid carbide drill on the market for steel drilling.
Silent Tools® boring bars and milling adaptors are available in a range of diameters so as to arrive at the best length-to-diameter-ratio for achieving the needed chip evacuation clearance and counter tool deflection. The dampened bars, have built-in technology for minimizing vibrations throughout different overhang ranges.
Has this ever happened to you? You have been running a process for a period of time and are very confident in its security. All of a sudden, you receive a batch of castings and your 100 components per edge dropped to 75 components per edge and the insert edge is breaking. What can you do to optimize your process in the short term?
March 1st 2012 sees the introduction of a new range of turning inserts from Sandvik Coromant. Spectrum turning is a minimum program that provides a simplified choice of inserts designed to efficiently machine different materials at various cutting conditions.
Boring bars and their application present a unique problem. We have been taught that a stable process requires us to minimize the overhang of the tools. And yet in boring we are forced to “hand the bar out” to reach the cutting zone.
When the economy was strong many processes were put in place hastily or existing processes ignored driven by the need to “get parts out the door”. While we work toward a recovery, this is an excellent time to review the processes in your shop to make sure you are getting the most out of your tooling.
The geometry of a turning insert provides two major benefits, it forms and breaks the chip coming off the component and provides edgeline strength for the carbide cutting material. Our goal is to apply an insert that will give us the best balance of tool life and productivity versus toughness and process security.
The most popular turning insert in the industry is the 80 degree diamond (CNMG insert). Known for its balance of versatility and edge strength it is usually the first choice of CNC programmers. However, many customers use the four 80 degree corners and discard the other four cutting edges found on the 100 degree corners.
