Sandvik introduces Coromant Capto for HPC clamping units for high pressure coolant
Sandvik Coromant has introduced Coromant Capto clamping units for high pressure coolant (HPC) for use with standard quick-change CoroTurn HP cutting units.
Designed for static toolholders found on turning centres and vertical lathes, the Coromant Capto for HPC will benefit users machining long-chipping materials such as heat-resistant super alloys, titanium, duplex stainless steel and high alloy steel. The system not only aids swarf break-up but, says Sandvik, can reduce tool change and set-up times considerably as it eliminates the need to mount coolant tube sets.
The clamping units accept CoroTurn HP and CoroTurn SL units and are sealed for transfer of coolant at up to 200 bar maximum. The flexible, plug-and-play system is available in sizes C5, C6, C8 and C10.
Coromant Capt HP units are also available (as engineered solutions) as a manual clamping set in sizes C4, C5 and C6 for integrated build into turret, ram or housing.
