CoroTurn TR provides rigid tool holding for sliding head machines June 2008
 
The CoroTurn TR (T-Rail) interface has gained a reputation for increasing stability and precision in demanding turning applications. Now the newly designed CoroTurn TR tool holder for sliding head machines makes rigid tool holding and precise, close tolerance turning available to a wider range of applications and small components. This stable interface provides close tolerance, repeatability, precision and quality for many production environments.

CoroTurn TR’s new T-rail design, now on zero offset tools, for sliding head machines, ensures repeatable edge indexing into the correct insert seat location every time it is used. This maintains dimension tolerances in smaller components. The extra security increases the number of components that each insert can produce between changes. Fewer insert changes lead to reduced set-up time and longer, uninterrupted production runs.

Dedicated CoroTurn TR tool holders for small part machining are now available in 16 mm shank size for the larger bar size sliding head machines.
