Largest standard Capto size

Sandvik Coromant has launched the largest standard size of Coromant Capto coupling, C10.

It is designed to improve performance for demanding applications in large machine tools. It allows higher feeds and depths of cut to be achieved, especially when machining components within the aerospace, gas turbine and railway wheel turning industries. The coupling has a flange diameter of 100 mm and effectively transmits torque, providing higher bending strength and metal removal rates with improved accuracy. This large coupling size achieves maximum stability for turning and milling tools and provides high rigidity for extended tool set-ups, used together with reduction adaptors to fit the tool. A complete tooling set-up is available in size C10, including basic holders, reduction and extension adaptors. Coupling blanks are also available and can be manufactured to the needs of individual tools for further flexibility. The Coromant Capto coupling is a modular system, allowing full interchangeability of tools in different machines throughout the workshop to reduce inventory and cost. It provides flexibility and quicker tool changes for multi-task machines, turning centres and machining centres.
