Sandvik Coromant expands exchangeable head range

Sandvik Coromant has expanded its exchangeable-head (EH) system to include a wide assortment of solid carbide heads, indexable milling cutters, boring heads, integrated machine adaptors and different shanks.

The exchangeable head coupling is based on a self-centring screw thread for secure mounting and maximum strength. The coupling has a physical stop that makes it easy to feel when the head is correctly tightened and thus helps to ensure that the clamping is not overstressed. The conical portion is shaped to provide best run-out. Pre-loaded taper and flange contacts provide an optimised modular connection with extreme rigidity and strength. These range extensions meet the requirements for long reach in large machining centres in the diameter range of 10 to 32 mm for milling and 1 to 36 mm for boring.
