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.
In this web cast, we look at the unique tooling solutions required to machine gas and steam turbine casings. Learn how to manage common problems associated with internal groove milling, large-hole rough and finish boring, and inner diameter groove finishing.
Sandvik Coromant Dampened Products reduce vibrations during turning, milling and boring applications while improving your productivity.
CoroBore XL is a new boring-tool system for large-diameter boring. New bridges and holders enable both fine and rough boring with precise results and optimal productivity.
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.
Extended opportunities for component design and production output are available with the resources behind the Sandvik Coromant Global Deep Hole Machining Application Center.
The traditional way of machining hub blade bores is circular interpolation, but we see here why helical interpolation is a more productive solution.
Parting and grooving sounds straightforward enough but within its remit lay a number of similar operations that all demand different machining and tooling strategies.
Wind production brings opportunity for manufacturers in declining industries such as automotive. Windmills have hundreds of parts, many of which are very large, so it’s important to first determine what your shop can accommodate. After consulting with a tooling specialist, shops often find they already have the right tools in house, and may only require a change in grades or geometries.
Sleek wings and powerful engines are familiar images of flight. An aircraft’s landing gear, however, is just as essential for successful air travel. A fully loaded, double-deck, 800-passenger Airbus A380 jetliner weighs about 1.3 million lbs. Aloft, those 650 tons are supported by the magic of aerodynamic lift. But movement on the ground, including takeoff [...]
