Increased machine utilization for effective steel turning

For longitudinal and face turning, Sandvik Coromant introduces the new CoroTurn 300 for higher component quality, increased handling efficiency, and longer tool life in steel turning operations. The CoroTurn 300 features stable insert clamping, as well as eight-edged inserts for the high chip control, tool life, and surface finish. Stable insert clamping for the CoroTurn 300 is made possible through the patented iLock interface. This system securely locks the insert in place to prevent cutting forces from affecting the tool position. iLock provides tool accuracy within ±0.05 mm (.002 inch) giving the operator indexing repeatability for a better surface finish and increased tool life. The eight-edged inserts for the CoroTurn 300 are available in grades GC4325 and GC4315 featuring Inveio coating, a uni-directional crystal orientation for high wear resistance, and long tool life. The unique insert design has excellent chip breaking capabilities and less carbide per edge, plus more edges allows for better inventory control. Another way the CoroTurn 300 offers chip breaking capabilities is through high-precision (HP) over and under coolant. Coolant from above controls the chip breaking for secure machining while under coolant controls the temperature for long and predictable tool life.
