(Sandvik Coromant: Mebane, NC)--Sandvik Coromant, a global leader in cutting tools and tooling systems, has enhanced its lineup of next-generation Silent Tools turning adapters with additional sizes and configurations, including adapters with the Coromant Capto coupling and HSK-T coupling. This innovative vibration-damping technology is also available for quick and easy customization with Sandvik Coromant’s Tailor Made platform.

“These upgraded adapters are designed for safer, faster, and more productive internal turning at long overhangs,” says Åke Axner, global product manager at Sandvik Coromant. “By adding Tailor Made to our offering, we meet customer demands and specific tool requirements to enable optimized cutting processes.”

For nearly five decades, Sandvik Coromant has been a leader of innovation in vibration-damping technology. Its upgraded Silent Tools turning adapters and availability in Tailor Made represent the pinnacle of this journey, offering customizable tools with superior vibration control. Sandvik Coromant has added 75 Coromant Capto adapters (diameters 32–100 mm and 1.260–3.937 in.) and six HSK-T adapters (diameters 32–60 mm and 1.260–2.362 in.) to its existing assortment.

The advanced damping mechanism efficiently counters vibration forces, ensuring safer machining at long overhangs and reducing the risk of interruptions and incidents.

“In the past, the damper body required manual operation to fine tune it to the desired frequency range,” says Axner. “However, with the second generation of Silent Tools, this process has been automated, with the damper body being precisely assembled and calibrated to the optimal frequency range by a machine.”

Ensuring significantly more consistent performance across different length-to-diameter ratios, the damping mechanism translates into increased machining repeatability and reliability.

The next-generation technology of Silent Tools turning adapters addresses key industry challenges, including increasing metal removal rates, improving surface finishes, enhancing process security, and reducing production costs. By minimizing disruptions during internal turning operations, Silent Tools lowers the cost per component, making businesses more profitable and competitive.

The updated assortment of Silent Tools turning adapters now totals 187 tools, including cylindrical, Coromant Capto, and HSK-T adapters. These tools are ideal for general internal turning, parting and grooving, and threading in various industry segments, including aerospace, power generation, oil and gas, general engineering, and machine tool making.
