Sandvik Coromant combines barrel and ball-nose geometries for complex profiling
Sandvik Coromant has introduced CoroMill Plura barrel conical, a two-in-one solid carbide tool that combines barrel and ball-nose geometries for multi-axis profiling of complex components such as blisks and blades.
Sandvik Coromant has introduced CoroMill Plura barrel conical, a two-in-one solid carbide tool that combines barrel and ball-nose geometries for multi-axis profiling of complex components such as blisks and blades.
The geometry enables manufacturers to machine fillets, flanks and complex surfaces in a single setup. Its large barrel radius permits greater step-over rates while maintaining the required surface quality, according to the company. Varying contact points distribute heat and cutting loads across a larger area.
The range is optimized for semifinishing and finishing in ISO S materials, with dedicated geometries and grades for titanium alloys and heat-resistant superalloys. Secondary materials include stainless steel, steel, hardened steel and cast iron. T2CH and R2AH grades feature Zertivo 2.0 coating technology.
The tool joins a blisk and blade machining portfolio that includes ball-nose, lollipop, conical ball-nose and barrel geometries.
