Seco’s new Multi-Directional Turning (MDT) interchangeable heads for use with the Seco Steadylineâ modular vibration-damping tool bar system now incorporate the company’s recently developed GL Connection. Together, the GL Connection and Steadyline bars ensure precision and superior surface finishes for grooving and turning with the new MDT heads in long-reach applications as well as those with high risk of cutting vibrations.
The extremely high-precision GL Connection allows users to quickly, easily and accurately exchange MDT heads and other types on the Steadyline bars. Once the bar is set, tool heads can be mounted and remounted without having to reset the system. The polylobe tapered interface of the patented GL Connection features two positions so that MDT insert cutting edges can be oriented to face either up or down for effective chip control.
