The next time you order a turning lathe, make sure you order it with the new Sandvik Coromant CDI turret.

Sandvik Coromant CDI turret for turning lathes.

The turret offers more stable machining and shorter tool holder projection, resulting in longer tool capabilities, higher cutting performance, better workpiece surface, longer cutting tool life and more cutting tool length.

CDI is the interface between the turret and the Coromant Capto quick-change clamping unit and was originally developed for the automotive industry where the stability of a VDI turret was insufficient.

It has quick-change capability and because of the rapid setup is ideal for low-batch production. It is stable and rigid and fits both static and rotating applications. Although the CDI turret has been available in Europe for some time, it is now part of the global product portfolio and has become a standard catalogue product from Sandvik Coromant.
