“The objective of our new lunch and learn sessions is to demonstrate process optimization and explore complementary technologies for Mazak equipment,” Buxton said.

At the first session Sandvik Coromant will demonstrate how its Silent Tools can improve productivity and silence vibrations on a Mazak SLANT TURN NEXUS 600 Turning Center with a steady rest as it cuts an oilfield-style component.

Typically in metal cutting, long-reach tools are prone to extreme vibrations, which result in longer cycle times and increased tool breakage. As such, Silent Tools have a unique dampener built inside the tool body to counter such vibrations.
