CoroPlex® YT
All-directional Y-axis turning
One tool for all turning operations
Y-axis turning is a 3-axis simultaneous turning method, where the tool rotates around its own centre. The insert is placed 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 one single tool.
Improved component surface quality
By applying all-directional turning, it is possible to finish complex shapes in one cut without ‘blend points’. Wiper inserts can be kept perpendicular to the surface to have wiper effect also on tapered surfaces.
Stable machining with optimal chip control
In Y-axis turning, the main cutting forces are directed into the machine spindle, which provides high process stability. By keeping a constant entering angle during machining, chips can be controlled in an optimal way.
Application area
- Simultaneous 3-axis turning with interpolation of milling spindle axis
- Tools can be used in ‘static mode’ with 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
