Sandvik Coromant will showcase its knowledge and expertise within metalcutting at IMTS 2012. The Sandvik Coromant Smart Hub will focus on helping attendees discover new ways to boost their business through knowledge, tooling solutions and services, the company said. The Sandvik Coromant Smart Hub will bring visitors solutions in hole-making, gear milling, automotive, energy and aerospace. High-tech, dedicated areas in the hub will highlight application specific tips and techniques needed to optimize programming strategies for successful manufacturing. “A visit to the Smart Hub will provide the opportunity to preview some of the new developments in high performance drilling products offering opportunities for customers to explore productive methods in various operations,” said a company spokesperson. “On display, the new Sandvik Coromant CoroDrill 860 solid carbide drill is designed to provide problem-free drilling optimized for steel and most recently for high productivity in all types of aluminum,” the spokesperson said. “In addition, visitors can preview a multi-application, high-performance drill that can be used across a wide range of materials. For the exchangeable-tip drills, the CoroDrill 870 will be extended with an optimized grade and geometry for cast iron materials. “Gear milling is an area that is developing fast and the CoroMill 176 indexable insert cutter is a new solution that can help attendees overcome challenges in productivity, cost and accuracy. “The company’s CoroMill Plura family sees an extension for aluminum, optimized formachining in thermoplastics, which is excellent for die and mold applications. The CoroDrill 861, on the other hand, is suitable for applications that need a stable tool for the deepest holes and is a high-performance choice for a typical cast iron engine block. “With the introduction of the CoroMill 600 at IMTS, Sandvik Coromant will now offer a full program of blade machining milling tools for the power generation industry. For demanding applications in the oil and gas and aerospace industries, a new counter bore, to be launched in October, offers high process security.” For more information contact: Sandvik Coromant Company 1702 Nevins Road P.
