Sandvikโs Coromant Captoยฎ is a modular quick change tooling concept offering three systems in one:
Quick change tool holders for turning centers reduce set-up and tool change time, leading to significantly increased machine utilization
Coromant Capto directly integrated in the spindle increases stability and versatility in e.g. multi-task machines, machining centers with turning capability and vertical lathes
Coromant Capto as a modular system for machining centers offers a large variety of extension- and reduction adapters, enabling assembling of tools with different lengths and design characteristics regardless of the machine interface (SK, HSK, Big Plus). The modularity function means less need for expensive special tools with long delivery times
The same tools can thus be used in the entire workshop, providing unique flexibility, optimal rigidity and minimized tool inventory.
The benefits of a Sandvik Coromant Capto tooling system are as follows:
One tooling system for turning and rotating tools
No dedicated positions required in the tool magazine
High repeatability of +/- 2 microns
Low maximum Total Indicator Reading/Run-out (TIR) (3 microns)
Internal coolant delivery
Cutting heads can be pre-measured offline
High metal removal rates
Standard tooling โ no modifications required
Capto cutting tools offers high pressure coolant through the spindle (CTS). This is beneficial to all manufacturersโ tooling budget:
Reduces cutting temperature effectively for better chip breaking results, prolonging the durability of the tools, production efficiency, and production costs
Improved 20% cutting speed in rough machining
Improved 50% tool durability
Adjustable coolant output for increasing the longevity of inserts
