This recent shift to live tools affords an entirely new dimension of operational capabilities on turning machines. Now, with live tools, the lathe can stop the part and do a milling, tapping or drilling operation, as opposed to rotating the part, coming in with an insert and removing material that way. In the past, extensive setup time was also required to change from one type of tool to another, and the use of live tools was limited. This format translates to a smaller set of tools for each operation. Unlike a machining center that has virtually limitless toolchanging possibilities, depending on the size of the toolchanger itself, a lathe is limited to its two turrets.

Now, polygonal, HSK, and Big Plus tapered modular, quick-change toolholding aims for more versatility for any given machine. But with newer machines, we see different toolholders-and not just the block with a clamped stick tool. Historically, most turning tools have been stick tools. VIDEO: Emerging Leaders’ Viewpoints on Training and Retention A separate presetter facilitates the productivity of the large investment in that machine tool. But it is important to remember that a standalone presetter frees a machine to do what it’s designed to do-make chips. This attitude is also common in the vertical world when the machine tools have onboard presetters.
This feature has created a perception in the turning arena that if it’s onboard, it’s good enough and convenient enough to use. Not all machine tools feature onboard presetters as standard features, but most or all popular turning machines do. Presetters are soon to join the ranks of shared traits. In fact, they’re evolving toward one another and becoming more similar by the year. But when it comes to the tooling itself, the two aren’t really that different. And in many ways, those operators are correct. Integrating the proven Coromant Capto® quick change technology with the highest quality Bolt-on Tool Blocks from Global CNC will have your CNC Lathe Department running at lightning speed productivity levels.Turning machine operators and vertical milling machinists often think of themselves as a world apart, feeling a vast gulf exists between the vertical and the horizontal axes-between rotating tools and rotating parts.
Capto™ Modularity provides exceptional flexibility while allowing for minimized tool inventory saving time and money.Increases productivity by using the same bolt-on toolholder with a variety of extension and reduction adaptors.There is effortless understanding of use when switching out tools, even when tight tolerances are required.It has improved stability for high volume lathes.It is a great problem solver for deep reach applications.It is a very rigid system that allows for easy tool replacement with limited changes in pre-determined offsets, thus reducing set-up times.There are many advantages to using a Global CNC. Global CNC uses Original Capto® components from the Sandvik company. Global CNC Capto tool system is available in Capto C4 and C5.
These methods ensure the highest quality Capto™ connection that allows for easy tool replacement.
Global CNC designed Capto™ tool blocks are developed using advanced machining and grinding methods, strictly using only superior alloy steel. This allows for an increase in part production with higher efficiency. Our Capto™ Bolt-on Tool Blocks optimize machinery use by reducing the time it takes to set up and change between tools. Our newly designed Capto™ blocks bring a precise, rigid, and accurate quick-change solution to enhance production in the manufacturing environment. Plymouth Michigan has been manufacturing CNC lathe tooling for over 35 years.
