Sandvik Coromant and Mastercam share new turning strategies with PrimeTurning™
Sandvik Coromant’s Mia Pålsson and Adam Johansson will present PrimeTurning™ at Modern Machine Shop’s Top Shops Conference 2017. Pålsson, head of the Product Unit Turning Tools and Johansson, part of the research and development team within the turning department, along with Stas Mylek from Mastercam, will compose a panel discussing the methodology of PrimeTurning.
PrimeTurning enables turning in all directions resulting in a much more efficient and productive method compared to conventional turning. This approach facilitates a new turning method supporting CoroTurn Prime tools and a code generator. The panel will be discussing how Mastercam has incorporated PrimeTurning into a set of computerized toolpaths allowing users to reach higher productivity gains.
Modern Machine Shop’s Top Shops Conference will be exhibiting some of the industry’s leading trends allowing members of the industry to share their best practices. Partnered with Mastercam, Sandvik Coromant is bringing the industry’s first automated CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) support to PrimeTurning. Together, Mastercam and Sandvik Coromant will release a new set of turning strategies, scheduled to be issued in June 2018, supporting CoroTurn® Prime inserts and PrimeTurning technology. This new technology and CAM programming will grant users the flexibility to do turning in all different directions, higher machine utilizations, faster metal removal rates, longer lasting inserts and an increase in productivity anywhere from 50%-80%.
