Limitless Shoulder Grooving

Walter is launching a new system specially designed for grooving along a shoulder with the G3051-P groove turning holder and the new MX22-2L/R indexable inserts.

An insert installation position inclined by 3 deg and new grooving inserts with a level design on the component side (as left and right versions) enable deep grooving along a shoulder – with no end-face axial contact thanks to the grooving insert. The groove turning holder in new shank sizes of 12 to 25 mm is designed with Walter precision cooling. The precision-ground, four-edged indexable inserts are available with new GD8 and VG8 geometries. The VG8 geometry has been specifically developed for finishing operations behind a collar.

Thanks to reduced space requirements, enormous savings on material are possible in mass production compared to conventional V-style turning inserts. The G3051-P grooving system can be used on CNC lathes and multi-spindle machines, as well as automatic lathes. It allows for cutting depths of up to 5 mm and insert widths from 1.5 to 3 mm. This is why it is particularly suited to series production of smaller components, such as camshafts in the automotive industry, but also for precision parts in the medical technology industry.
