Seco Offers New Steadyline® Tooling for Large Diameter Work
Fagersta, August 2017 — Seco Tools announced today that its Steadyline® vibration-dampening tooling system now includes 60 mm and 80 mm-diameter turning/boring bars that provide a reliable, plug-and-play solution for increased productivity in large and deep bore operations. These larger sizes are ideal for use in oil and gas applications as well as general machining of workpieces that require tool overhangs of up to 600 mm with 60 mm-diameter bars or 800 mm with 80 mm-diameter bars.The Steadyline® large-diameter turning/boring bars feature a BA connection and incorporate a BA adapter to mount GL50 turning heads. Seco’s patented, versatile GL connection features a polylobe taper-face interface for centring accuracy, 100 percent repeatability and fast tool head exchanges. The GL connection allows shops to perform both static and rotating operations with the same bar.
The advanced vibration dampening system of Steadyline® tooling absorbs vibrations before they spread through the bar. Once a turning bar is set, users can mount and remount tooling heads ncluding cylindrical shanks, Seco-CaptoTM and HSK-T/A machine side connections. without having to reset the tool.
Steadyline® is available in 6xD, 8xD and 10xD bar sizes and in a range of types, including Seco-Capto™ C6, C8 and HSK-T. The system also features compact boring heads with the GL or BA connection and both the bars and the heads feature coolant supply channels that opitimise chip removal.
