SpiroGrooving ™ - A revolution in the machining of seal grooves
SpiroGrooving ™ - An innovative machining method for seal grooves developed by Sandvik Coromant that enables the rapid production of quality parts with high safety. This method based on the CoroBore® XL system uses a spiral tool path. It makes it possible to machine grooves of gaskets at tight tolerances with great safety and productively.
Difficulties in machining
Seal grooves are essential on many parts for oil and gas; They require tight tolerances and high quality surface finishes. Conventional methods for machining seal grooves offer little safety and slow down production. Slowness is further accentuated by the multi-stage approach with roughing and finishing operations. The tools used are single-tooth tools or strawberries, but these tools are subject to vibrations. In addition, the parts concerned are made of difficult-to-machine materials such as Inconel 718 and Inconel 625 plated. SpiroGrooving is a method based on the CoroBore® XL system using a spiral tool path. It makes it possible to machine grooves of gaskets at tight tolerances with great safety and productively.
Very good parts quality and excellent process safety
This solution is ideal for machining sealing grooves in steel or stainless steel parts. CoroBore XL's unique interior watering solution facilitates the machining of difficult materials. Roughing and finishing are done in one operation, reducing cutting time and increasing productivity. In total, SpiroGrooving makes it possible to quickly produce quality parts with great safety.
? How it works
SpiroGrooving uses a helical trajectory. This makes it possible to produce fine chips with a light cutting action and a high feed rate. A portion of the cutting edge of the insert exerts an interrupted cut, thereby avoiding long chips wrapping around the tool or spindle. SpiroGrooving incorporates an exclusive CN code generator that makes programming much easier.
