THE FUTURE OF CNC MACHINE TOOL TECHNOLOGY

While CNC technology - coupled with CAD/CAM systems - has long helped introduce an agile alternative to the more conventional rigid manufacturing technology by introducing flexibility in batch production, some major inefficiencies inherent in most machining processes remain.

HOW TO HARD TURN WITH CBN

The increased productivity of hard turning with PCBN (polycrystalline cubic boron nitride, or more commonly, CBN) inserts has been well documented over the last 2 years: faster cycle times, lower toolchange downtime, less scrap, reduced grinding-machine investment, and if cutting dry, no coolant disposal.

NEW POSITIVE TURNING INSERTS FOR SMALLER COMPONENTS

Sandvik Coromant now expands the program of CoroTurn 107 and CoroTurn 111 positive inserts for turning of smaller components and high feed boring. The sharp, positive insert shape combines low cutting forces with good edge strength. This counteracts vibrations and results in better surface finish and closer tolerances.
