Sandvik Coromant is expanding its CoroCut 2 with a new -GL parting and grooving geometry, and an updated -CR parting-off geometry. The geometries are designed to increase chip control in long-chip material and provide a strong edge for high-feed parting-off operations.

Sandvik Coromant’s CoroCut 1-2 is designed for high performance and security across a variety of applications. CoroCut 2 increases productivity and overall efficiency by maximizing output while minimizing energy consumption and waste. This expansion in geometries is well suited for machining hard-to-chip steels and parting-off operations where a strong edge is needed.

Featuring the most aggressive chipbreaker in the CoroCut 2 concept, the -GL geometry is well suited for workshops requiring better chip control in demanding ISO P components, such as low-carbon steel, clean steels and cold-forged automotive components. The -GL geometry also provides security that enables increased automation.

The -CR geometry is designed for parting-off operations at higher feeds or during intermittent cutting, and is suitable for a wide range of materials. With its strong edge and wiper design, it increases productivity and provides optimal component quality.

Both the -GL and -CR geometries feature Sandvik Coromant’s rail interface, providing a more precise insert position and reducing movement for enhanced stability, especially when side forces are applied. Additionally, both geometries are produced with Sandvik Coromant’s FlashLight technology, generating higher quality and a more consistent edge line, and resulting in superior and predictable tool life.

Alpha Precision Group (APG) has developed an innovative workholding design for faster spindle speeds through sinter-based additive manufacturing.

Moving to five-axis machining enabled this shop to dramatically reduce setup time and increase lights-out capacity, but success relied on the right combination of workholding and automation.

This simple change to a Swiss-type turning machine’s toolpath can dramatically improve its ability to manage chips.
