Sandvik Coromant expands CoroTurn XS family for deeper grooves
1 min read
Sandvik Coromant has expanded its CoroTurn XS family of precision tools for small part machining to facilitate the efficient production of extra deep face grooves in small diameters. The assortment now includes face grooving inserts for sizes 08 and 10, along with adaptors/holders in the same sizes. The same series features an extension of the -A chip breaker geometry for internal turning operations.
With pump component manufacturers in mind, Sandvik Coromant is offering CoroTurn XS capable of face grooving depths of cut of up to 30 mm. The previous maximum was 6 mm. Suitable for all engineering materials, the size 08 insert is for 3-15 mm depths (2-4 mm widths) on 10-16 mm diameters, while the size 10 insert is for 5-30 mm depths (3-5 mm widths) on 12–20 mm diameters.
Complementing the inserts are adaptors/holders for boring bars, Coromant Capto toolholders and shank-type holders, so that they can be used on all kinds of lathes in internal and external tool positions. Internal coolant is facilitated through the holder, while a locating pin allows easy and exact location of the insert to reduce indexing time.
For general internal turning operations using the same family of tools, the extension of -A geometry inserts in sizes 04, 05, 06 and 07 delivers better chip control, enhanced process security and longer tool life.
