CoroPlex® YT
All-directional Y-axis turning
One tool for all turning operations
Y-axis turning is a 3-axis simultaneous turning method in which the tool rotates around its own center. The insert is positioned for machining in the Y-Z plane and the milling spindle axis interpolates during turning. As a result, a complex shape or a pocket can be machined with a single tool.
Improved component surface quality
By applying all-directional turning, it is possible to finish complex shapes in a single cut without ‘blend points.'Wiper inserts can be kept perpendicular to the surface to also produce a wiper effect on tapered surfaces.
Stable machining with optimal chip control
In Y-axis turning, the main cutting forces are directed into the machine spindle, offering high process stability. Maintaining a constant entering angle during machining means chips can be optimally controlled.
Application area
- Simultaneous 3-axis turning with interpolation of milling spindle axis
- Tools can be used in ‘static mode’ with a locked spindle for flexible 2-axis turning with fast insert indexing
- Machine all turning operations with one tool:
Roughing, finishing, longitudinal turning, facing, profiling - Suitable for all materials
- Tool selection
- CoroTurn® YT: Components with pockets and cavities
- CoroTurn® Prime: Shafts and components with undercuts
