CoroTurn® Prime
All-directional turning
Extraordinary productivity for internal turning applications
With the CoroTurn® Prime SL head solution it is possible to use our PrimeTurning™ methodology for internal turning. The inside-out machining capability allows for excellent chip evacuation and chip control.
Second generation B-type inserts
CoroTurn® Prime B-type now includes double-sided negative inserts with four cutting edges for cost-efficient machining. The tool also features a new robust tip seat design and updated geometries particularly suitable for challenging materials.
Y-axis turning
Y-axis turning is a 3-axis simultaneous turning method, where the tool rotates around its own centre. The insert machines in the Y-Z plane and the milling spindle axis interpolates during turning. This way, several complex features can be machined with one single tool.
Application area
Turning operations in all-directions
- CoroTurn® Prime A-type tool with three 35° corners designed for light roughing, finishing and profiling
- CoroTurn® Prime B-type tool with double-sided negative inserts with four cutting edges, designed for finishing and roughing
- Machines: Turning centres, vertical lathes and multi-task machines
- Good choice for mass production or components needing frequent set-ups and tool changes
- External turning: Best suited for short and compact components and the slender ones using tail stock
- Internal turning: For diameters above 40 mm (1.575 inch) and overhangs up to 8–10 × D

Increase output in steel turning
Steel turning often means continuously refining your machining processes. Small improvements in your turning strategy can make a big difference. Explore new technologies and methods that can provide you an edge over competition.
Now it's your turn
Challenging situations require smart solutions. When faced with full order books but a shortage of skilled workers, Austrian specialist for high-pressure systems and components for the chemical and petrochemical industry BHDT looked into how new, innovative technologies could support them. By applying PrimeTurning, they were able to reduce machining time by 50 percent.
