PrimeTurning™ demo – Turning of pinion in 40 seconds

In this demo of PrimeTurning™ you will see the complete turning operation of a pinion done in 40 seconds. From roughing to finishing using CoroTurn® Prime B-type and CoroTurn® Prime A-type. The all new turning method allows turning in all directions enabling higher speed, feed and tool life resulting in an immense productivity increase.

Gosh, this is a nicely-produced video. Unobtrusive music, and you still let us hear the machine doing its work.

Your technical & camera crew really have very good knowledge for how to make best videography.

I had to double check to make sure that I didn't have the youtube speed rate turned up.Impressive speeds.

Always someone that wants to downplay it. Nice video Sandvik.

when switching from B-type to A-type, , is there a separate tool holder/arm, or does it change out the tooling automatically. Also, I've read about wiper-like finish. Does this mean the PrimeTurn has a wiper insert as part of the CoroTurn Prime?

what grade would you recommend in 271 nickel I have been fighting this along time at a customers Mitsubishi 900 cant remember the first couple letters I think MP ? did well it out performed 1115  strait cut part  just being faced and turned down .100  using a ccgx coated  I want to stay with sandvik   part is only 2" diam  were parting facing od turning  one thing QD parting worked well   trust me coating is needed...books say hss steel  not a change

What about the burr hanging off the part towards the end of the video (near the live centre). Hardly "complete" machining as there is still the gear and spline to be cut/formed (respectively) aswell as screwcutting the thread. Not to mention heat treatment and final grinding/hard part turning. EDIT: video description now updated 2/5/17.

However, it looks effective once its setup and running your 500+ parts through.

A video suggestion would be to have a side by side comparison of Prime turning vs conventional turning and time the results with a stop watch.

I have the tool and inserts for my Okuma LU3000 lathe at work but nobody to program it . This would save at least 45 seconds on each part I run.

Hi is primeturning only for high power machines or can you also use it on smaller low power lathes?

[dawszelka]

I wonder what rpm max is in this video

[soundspark]

Before the cutter touched the part I thought it was aluminum and you were cheating. Once it started peeling I knew you had a monster not just of the insert but the machine too.

Can you have a video with less camera changes. Maybe from start to finish. This would make a great GIF to post on Reddit.
