Seco Tools’ Steadyline vibration-dampening tooling system includes large-diameter turning/boring bars. The 2.36” (60-mm) and 3.15” (80-mm) diameter sizes can be used in oil and gas applications as well as general machining of workpieces that require tool overhangs of up to 23.62” (600 mm) or 31.50” (800 mm) respectively.
The turning/boring bars feature a BA connection and incorporate a BA adapter to mount GL50 turning heads. The GL connection features a polylobe taper-face interface for centering accuracy, repeatability and fast toolhead exchanges. The GL connection allows shops to perform both static and rotating operations with the same bar.
The vibration dampening system tooling absorbs vibrations before they spread through the bar. Once a turning bar is set, users can mount and remount tooling heads without having to reset the tool.
