Ultra-rigid performance is now available to the majority of general threading applications, thanks to the introduction of a new insert size for CoroThread 266®.
The new size 16 insert complements the existing size 22 and 27 inserts and benefits from the unique iLock™ interface. Here, slots on the insert connect to the guide rail on the shim in the tool holder to provide secure insert clamping and combat cutting forces, improving thread precision and tool life.
This stability is unique to CoroThread 266 and enables a wide range of thread forms to be completed in fewer passes, and with greater accuracy. Tool handling is made considerably easier and correct insert mounting is achieved repeatedly, reducing time spent changing tools.
At the same time, dedicated new threading grade GC1125 is introduced for CoroThread 266. With its unique composition for threading performance, including better heat and wear resistant properties, GC1125 achieves greater threading precision over longer times in cut.
Tests have also shown that the new grade produces the required thread tolerance in fewer passes.CoroThread 266 can be used in all industries and materials to create all types of thread with greater precision and a more symmetrical form. The full insert range includes full profile, V-profile and multi-point variety.
