Round Inserts target medical industry.
Press Release Summary:
Round inserts can be used for internal turning of spherical cup in ball and socket hip joint and optimize roughing process when machining direct from castings. Round shape imparts strong cutting edge and resistance to excessive notch wear. Inserts are compatible with CoroTurn 107 boring bars and EasyFix(TM) method to achieve correct center height of cutting edge. Suited for machining of cobalt chromium and titanium implants, round inserts offer chip control and low cutting forces.
Original Press Release:
Double Productivity and Reduce Tooling Costs with Sandvik Coromant's New Round Inserts
New modern approach to turning hip joints enables superior quality finish
and improves reliability for medical industry
Fair Lawn, New Jersey, June 12, 2006 - Sandvik Coromant now offers a modern approach to turning hip joints with its new round inserts. When used for internal turning of the spherical cup in a ball and socket hip joint, not only do these inserts provide excellent balance of security and productivity, but also optimize the roughing process when machining direct from castings.
In roughing applications, the insert's round shape imparts a strong cutting edge and superior resistance to excessive notch wear. As a result, Sandvik Coromant's new round inserts are reliable, robust and allow for fewer tool changes. Because lower temperatures are generated with these inserts, operators are able to increase feeds and speeds to maximize production.
Sandvik Coromant's round inserts are compatible with the company's CoroTurn 107 boring bars and EasyFix(TM), a simple and quick method to achieve the correct center height of the cutting edge. For a complete solution, the company offers a wide range of toolholders with positive D-style inserts that are ideal for finishing and spherical turning. These toolholders can also be used in internal turning applications where accessibility is limited.
Ideal for the machining of cobalt chromium and titanium implants, both round inserts and D-style inserts offer excellent chip control and low cutting forces. When machining with round inserts and cobalt chromium, grade GC1030 is ideal. Grade GC1105 is the optimum grade for D-style inserts and cobalt chromium. Grade H13A achieves the best result while machining titanium for both round and D-style inserts.
