SECO Tools adds TURBO 16 SQUARE Shoulder cutter
With ever-increasing pressure to increase productivity and keep machining costs down, secure processes and long tool life have never been more important. The new Turbo 16 from Seco Tools is a game-changer on both counts.
Smooth cutting action and low cutting forces mean reduced power consumption and tool wear — tool life can actually be boosted by up to 130%.
Turbo 16 also scores highly on productivity — its exceptionally close pitch on selected cutters significantly increases material removal rates by up to 50%. A comprehensive range of ground and directly pressed inserts give the Turbo 16 exceptional flexibility while the cutter bodies are made of corrosion-resistant tool steel, have internal coolant, and range from 25 mm to 250 mm (the imperial program covers diameters 1 to 6 inches). They are compatible with a wide range of interfaces and standard rotating holders.
- Cutter range 25-250 mm (1.00-6.00 inch)
- Max depth of cut 15 mm (0.591 inch)
- Recommended slotting depth of cut 7 mm (0.276 inch)
- Insert corner radii range 0.4-6.3 mm (0.016-0.248 inch)
The Turbo 16 square shoulder cutter is the next generation of the industry-leading Turbo family. Highly flexible, it’s your go-to-tool for a broad range of applications, from facing, slotting and shouldering, to plunging and ramping, across a wide range of workpiece materials.
By optimizing proven features of the Turbo system, the cutter delivers outstanding performance and secure processes across the board. The cutter design has been modified to give exceptional ramping capability, while the insert pocket angles have been optimized to enhance cutting performance and surface finish. Added to this, the Turbo 16’s high helix angle not only gives a smoother exit and entry into the workpiece, it also means more efficient chip evacuation.
Lower cutting forces with Turbo 16 also mean reduced power consumption and tool wear—tool life can be boosted by up to 130%. Reduced noise levels are another bonus. And its exceptionally close pitch on selected milling cutters significantly increases material removal rates. Reduced noise levels are another bonus.
Cutter bodies are made of corrosion-resistant tool steel, and range from 25mm to 250mm (1 to 6 inches) and are compatible with a wide range of interfaces and standard rotating holders. There is a comprehensive choice of ground edge and directly pressed inserts in four geometries.
Proving that the Turbo 16 really is built for the future, the inserts are the first Seco Tools products to feature Data Matrix tags. These scannable codes store product and batch information and can be read by the new Seco Assistant smartphone app.
