Applitec PRO-Line from Floyd Automatic offers high performance at a lower price

Floyd Automatic is offering the new ‘PRO-Line’ range of Applitec indexable insert turning tools for sliding-head turning centres, offering high performance at a lower price.

As a blend between the best-selling TOP-Line twin-screw insert products and the single-screw ECO-Line, PRO-Line provides twin-screw rigidity and performance at lower prices, using a new patented insert clamping system that ensures that even a broken insert with just one remaining edge can still be used.

The new program consists of two series of holders and inserts – the 630/640 grooving and turning series and the 650/660 Series for parting-off at up to 20 mm diameter at a 2 mm width.

PRO-Line is available with many of the established insert geometries from the TOP-Line range, including laser generated forms.

Inserts are available in a TiAlN-coated universal grade for turning steel, stainless and titanium alloys, or as an uncoated grade that is suitable for interrupted cutting and other difficult machining tasks.

The selection of insert geometries includes the 632/642 front turning, 632X/642X front turning, 632S/642S multi-function turning and the 631-EP and 641-EP blank insert.

For the 650/660 parting-off series of tools, Applitec has developed the 651/661 standard part-off insert, the 651XF/661XF, the 651X12/661X12, the 651U/661U, 651R and the new 661ZU.

Toolholder shanks are 8,10,12, 12.7, 16 and 20 mm in lengths of 50,75, 90, 115, 120 and 130 mm.
