Seco offers a comprehensive product range of stationary adapters that can be used in horizontal or vertical lathes, machining centers and sliding-head and multi-tasking machines. These products can be used in spindles, turrets, sub-spindles and half-turrets.
Seco’s shank tool adapters offer a very popular connection for square-shank turning toolholders.
The Seco standard range of boring bar adapters offers several flexible tool sizes in a wide diameter range for rough and fine boring. Boring is defined as a method to enlarge and improve the quality of an existing hole.
Adapters for parting blades and tool blocks offer a complete tool system for parting off or making deep grooves with long overhangs. Parting and grooving is its own turning category with a wide range of machining applications requiring dedicated tools that also can, to some extent, be used for general turning. To fully utilize the tools for the best machining results, you need to consider the connection.
Seco-Capto™ clamping units provide a flexible and modular system, whereby the same adapters can be used across different machines and tool assemblies can be built with extensions.
The Seco-Capto systems offers high torque transmission, rigidity and accuracy with a strong, self-centering joint within 2 µm. Seco-Capto back ends are available on rotating tools, as well as stationary tools for turning, boring, threading and grooving applications.
