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 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.
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.
Here you’ll find information on the highly productive thread turning technique. Thread turning is an established and widely used technique for the threading of parts across a variety of industries.
Too often the tooling is considered after the investment phase and the extra investment required is not budgeted for, which limits the possibility to optimize the efficiency and utilization. Investing in optimized high pressure (HP) coolant tools with quick change capability ensures that the payback on a new machine investment is as short as possible with typically 25% extra machine utilization time.
Ceramic grades can be applied in a broad range of applications and materials; most often in high speed turning operations but also in grooving and milling operations. The specific properties of each ceramic grade enable high productivity, when applied correctly. Knowledge of when and how to use ceramic grades is important for success.
In micromachining, the parts may be small, but the tooling and machining options are wide open. And with all of the challenges that come with micromachining — tight tolerances, stringent quality demands, hard-to-machine materials — choosing the right methods is critical.
Designed to increase removal capacity at higher torques, the C10 gives the entire tool set up higher bending strength. The C10 includes a wide range of holders and adapters from shrink fit, SL adapters and ER- chucks to tap adapters.
