Solutions for cost-effective and high-quality machining of aerospace shafts in heat-resistant super alloys

Made from high-alloy steel or Inconel, the major challenges when machining shafts are the length and internal features of the component. The greatest development in shaft manufacturing comes from the evolution of multi-task machines, where Coromant Capto® and Silent Tools™ have been proved to be perfect partners.
Tooling solutions for aerospace shafts in heat-resistant super alloys
CoroTurn® Prime and PrimeTurning™
CoroTurn® Prime and PrimeTurning™ all-directional turning method and tools offer highly productive machining with excellent chip control. Combined with Silent Tools™ damped adaptors, this revolutionizing concept can achieve even more productive machining.

Reduce vibration with Silent Tools™ unique damping technology
A standard Silent Tools™ boring bar programme up to 250 mm diameter and 14 × diameter to length capability is available. This range of tools can produce component features of an extraordinarily high standard. The serration lock (SL) coupling is now equipped with a full range of cutting heads with HPC capability.
