Sandvik Coromant expands its versatile tool concept CoroCut 2 with the new grooving and turning geometry -GL and the updated grooving geometry -CR. These offer advantages such as improved chip control in long-chipping materials and a strong cutting edge for grooving at high feeds.
Sandvik Coromant has further developed its successful grooving and turning concept CoroCut 1-2, known for its high performance and safety in a variety of applications. By increasing productivity and overall efficiency, CoroCut 2 maximizes performance while minimizing energy consumption and scrap. This moderate upgrade makes a significant difference for manufacturing companies that process difficult-to-machine steels and for grooving operations where a strong cutting edge is required.
With the most uncompromising chip breaker of the CoroCut 2 concept, the new -GL geometry is a valuable addition for companies that need better chip control in demanding ISO P components, especially in low-carbon steels, pure steels, and cold-forged parts for the automotive industry. 'It is no secret that good chip control helps increase efficiency and avoid costly machine downtimes, but not every indexable insert is suitable for this type of material,' emphasizes Jenny Claus, Product Manager Parting and Grooving at Sandvik Coromant. 'The -GL geometry was developed to solve this problem.'
The -GL geometry offers process reliability and paves the way for more automation. Jenny Claus specifies: 'Shorter chips lead to fewer entanglements and fewer stops, minimizing the need for manual interventions and enabling more automated processes.'
The -CR geometry is the first choice for grooving with higher feeds or for interrupted cuts and is suitable for a wide range of materials. With its strong cutting edge and wiper design, it increases productivity and ensures excellent workpiece quality. 'All our grooving geometries are equipped with the wiper design.
This allows workpieces to be machined with high feeds without compromising surface quality or chip breaking,' explains Fredrik Selin, Product Application Specialist at Sandvik Coromant. 'As a simple rule of thumb: double the feed, same surface quality. Same feed, double surface quality.'
In grooving and turning, stability is key. The biggest challenge is to secure the indexable insert so that movements are minimized. The geometries -GL and -CR are equipped with the proven guiding profile. This ensures more precise positioning of the indexable insert and reduces movements to enhance stability, especially when lateral forces occur.
Furthermore, both geometries are manufactured with the patented FlashLight technology, which produces a higher quality and a more uniform cutting edge, resulting in superior and predictable tool life.
