Greater security and reduced set-up times for CoroMill 316 users

Part of Sandvik Coromant’s new product innovations set for launch as part of CoroPak 10.1 is a new range of integrated tool holders designed for compatibility with the recently introduced CoroMill 316 exchangeable head (EH) tools. Thanks to shorter tool overhang, the innovative new holders offer a more secure performance in comparison with a cylindrical shank tool clamped in a chuck, without detriment to torque transmission, run out or accuracy.

For best machining results, tool overhang should always be kept to an absolute minimum. The new integrated holders with EH coupling provide a shorter total programming length compared to cylindrical shank tool holders, therefore providing higher stability when all other machining parameters remain unchanged.

Purposely designed to offer modular tooling possibilities, the holders can be deployed in many different tooling combinations to suit specific applications and machine tools, from a smaller inventory of standard items. Furthermore, because only minimal tool length adjustment is required for each application, machine shops also benefit from reduced set-up times.
