Seco Tooling Lineup Promotes Optimized Part Processing
The company’s expanded tooling lineup is aimed at applications ranging from general ISO turning to high-volume hard turning and deep-hole drilling.
Seco Tools has introduced new toolholders, PCBN inserts, round carbide inserts and extra-long solid carbide drills aimed at applications ranging from general ISO turning to high-volume hard turning and deep-hole drilling.
Seco’s X-tra Long Solid Carbide Drills are designed to achieve fast, reliable performance in steel, stainless steel and cast iron, as well as Inconel, titanium and hardened steel. A specialized tool geometry and coating eliminate chipping and sudden breakage while minimizing flank and center wear, while ground-edge prep produces smoother cutting edges, greater evenness and closer tolerances than brushing. Seco X-tra Long Solid Carbide Drills maintain specified drilling depth after up to three reconditioning cycles.
The company also has two new grades of PCBN inserts for high-volume production of automotive and other industry components: the CH1050 grade for finishing and the CH2581 for semi-interrupted cuts. CH1050 offers high-accuracy edge prep and is designed for extended tool life and lower cost per part. CH2581 features a high-accuracy edge prep and physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating to enable faster speeds and higher throughput for reduced part costs.
Seco’s MF2 chipbreaker on RCMT/RCGT round, positive-style ISO-turning carbide inserts maintains favorable chip control at higher speeds and feeds, especially with dynamic turning. One series of stable, durable, carbide round insert grades handles a wide range of turning operations, from roughing to finish turning.
Seco have also used its specialized, 3D-printed coolant clamp to deliver Jetstream Tooling high-pressure cutting fluid directly to the cutting edge. With a range of single-screw coolant clamp options for specific applications and depths of cut, these toolholders provide fast setup and indexing, making chip control less of a challenge on 45-degree B-axis multitasking machines.
Seco-Capto MTM JETI Toolholders enable the use of shorter tooling with greater reach, less overhang and reduced collision risk. The decrease in vibration and chatter improve machining results, even with materials that require high-pressure cutting fluid. The toolholder design also enables shops to optimize production and use the same machining tools on more than one spindle.
