The International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2018 in Chicago, Illinois, is quickly approaching, from September 10 to 15. Whether you’re attending for your first time, or you’re an IMTS veteran, there is always something that will leave you in awe.

If you’re planning to attend in order to find new tools and technologies to put you ahead of the competition, be sure to visit the Sandvik Coromant booth. Shaping the future together is their theme for IMTS 2018 and it represents the engineering solutions and technical expertise available to help customers overcome current and future machining challenges.

Presented at IMTS will be Turning Reinvented, which includes products such as the new Y-Axis parting offer and PrimeTurning solutions. The new CoroCut QD blade for parting-off operations, which improves stability during cutting and realigns the cutting force by feeding in the Y axis direction, will also be showcased. PrimeTurning, which you may be familiar with, includes the introduction of two dedicated CoroTurn Prime tools and the PrimeTurning code generator, which supplies optimized programming codes and techniques. CoroTurn Prime inserts have three edges per corner, one edge each for longitudinal, facing and profiling thus distributing the wear over a longer edge and not just the insert tip.

If you’re looking to optimize your factory for the future with Industry 4.0 solutions, look no further than the leading edge CoroPlus solutions from Sandvik Coromant.
