Sandvik Coromant Introduces QS Micro Quick-Change Toolholding System!

Sandvik Coromant has launched the QS Micro quick-change toolholding system, designed specifically for small-part machining and sliding head machines. The system is engineered to enhance precision, security, and repeatability, ensuring maximized machine utilization across a variety of industries, including general engineering, automotive, aerospace, and medical.

The QS Micro toolholding system provides a wide range of configurations, featuring cutting heads and shank adapters that cater to diverse machining requirements. Rectangular shaft adapters are available in sizes ranging from 10 × 10 mm to 20 × 20 mm, with equivalent inch sizes. The system also includes cutting heads compatible with Sandvik Coromant’s renowned CoroTurn 107, CoroCut 2, CoroCut XS, and CoroThread 266 families.

A standout feature of the system is its rigid holding mechanism, which minimizes vibrations to ensure precision and process security. High indexing precision (±3 µm) enhances component quality and guarantees repeatability across various machining operations. Additionally, cutting heads designed for Y-axis machining provide improved stability and efficient chip evacuation, making the system versatile and effective.

The QS Micro toolholding system incorporates through-coolant functionality, which delivers coolant directly to the insert. This feature enhances chip evacuation, cutting performance, and tool longevity. The modularity of the system also allows quick and easy tool changes, minimizing downtime while increasing productivity.

Ideal for small-part machining, the QS Micro system combines advanced functionality with ease of use, offering manufacturers an efficient solution to meet the demands of modern machining applications. Sandvik Coromant continues to push the boundaries of toolholding technology, delivering innovative solutions for precision-driven industries.
