Tooling exhibit aimed at four key user sectors
Tooling exhibit to be based around the theme of "your industry, your business" with four key market sectors highlighted: mould and die, automotive, aerospace and general engineering.
Also new are the CoroTurn RC 570 cutting heads to be used with solid and damped boring bars for internal machining.
The extended range will now satisfy the increasingly wide variety of clamping requirements on versatile multi-tasking machining centres and advanced machine tools while allowing a reduction in the tool inventory.
Inventory reduction is achieved by the design of the tip seat which offers total interchangability of clamp sets and shims to suit different insert materials and thicknesses.
The user can swap from ceramic to carbide to CBN - and back again - without compromising the two primary constituents of high quality turning - stability and security.
Optimum stability is achieved and maintained through the rigid clamping in combination with a Coromant Capto coupling.
The improved radial and axial reliefs on all external Coromant Capto cutting units also make them suitable for internal machining.
