No matter the material, component size, surface finish or accuracy requirement, we have a grooving or parting-off solution that can enhance your productivity and profitability – from flexible products that work across a variety of part types to dedicated tools that solve unique challenges.
The Seco MDT (Multi-Directional Turning) is universally suitable for variety of applications including grooving, profiling, turning, parting-off, and threading. The unique Secoloc™ clamping delivers the best stability and safety in addition to high productivity and performance. Applications include turning parts with many different diameters, complicated profiles and grooves, replacing the need for several standard and special tools with a single Seco MDT. Further savings can be achieved through fewer tool changes and reduced tool stock. The unique insert clamping method – Secoloc™ -- combines a V-shaped top clamp with serrated contact surfaces between the underside of the insert and the toolholder for superb stability. The relatively long insert also increases stability. MDT is available also in combination with Jetstream Tooling®, a high-pressure cooling system directing coolant supply to the cutting edge.
Optimized for parting-off applications, the Seco 150.10 consists of a high-speed steel blade that holds the insert and a holder that retains the blade. This setup provides maximum stability, while the hot strength of the high-speed steel ensures the insert will be securely retained especially when the blade is hot. 150.10 is also available in combination with Jetstream Tooling® Duo, a high-pressure cooling system that provides directed coolant to the cutting edge by two streams to rake and clearance surfaces.
The Seco X4 system with a 4-cutting-edge insert is optimized for parting-off and grooving primarily small parts. It consists of indexable tangential inserts and a highly stable clamp design. These strong, dependable system components achieve high accuracy, repeatability, productivity and surface quality in external grooving and parting-off operations involving small parts and slim bars and tubes made from a wide variety of work materials.
The Seco K-Style system is intended for radial and axial as well as external and internal precision grooving. The range of grooving inserts includes inserts for most groove profiles, such as circlip profiles, O-ring profiles, thread undercut and radius grooves.
The Seco Mini-Shaft™ system consists of holders and inserts for internal turning, grooving, precision grooving, profiling, backfacing and threading. It can be used in holes as small as 8 mm (Mini-Shaft™ 08) or 11 mm (Mini-Shaft™ 11). Seco Mini-Shaft™ also features a new type of joint, with a double serration, making the connection both stable and secure. It also gives very good repeatability (±0.02 mm).
