Seco has launched two new chip splitter milling inserts, Turbo 12 and Turbo 18, designed to reduce machine stress and improve milling process stability. These inserts, available in five grades for square shoulder and helical milling cutters, help minimize chatter, vibration, and stress on cutting tools and machinery.
The Turbo 12 and 18 chip splitter inserts, designed for Seco’s Turbo cutters, are available in five grades for both square shoulder and helical milling cutters. These inserts are engineered to significantly reduce chatter, vibration, and stress on manufacturing equipment. With grooves on both cutting edges, the inserts minimize chip size and cutting forces while maintaining cutting data and depth. This reduces the risk of chip jamming, enhances process security, and ensures efficient machining in deep pockets.
Product managers Magnus Engdahl and Michael Davies led the development of these inserts. “The Turbo 12 and 18 chip splitter inserts are suitable for various machining applications and materials,” Engdahl said. Davies added, “Their versatility allows them to be used across multiple industry segments, offering customers greater flexibility.”
Tackling hard-to-reach part features, Seco’s chip splitter inserts efficiently evacuate chips from deep pockets, improving chip flow. They also reduce chatter in long-reach applications, resulting in longer tool life and superior surface finishes.
Turbo 12 and 18 inserts provide the stability needed for unattended operations by lowering cutting forces, ensuring process security and reliability. This enables shops to boost productivity while minimizing wear on both machines and tools.
