Tungaloy Corporation has announced an expansion of its Y-Pro Series with the introduction of precision-ground YCGT inserts designed with a 25° corner angle to deliver improved performance in profiling and undercutting applications.
In the field of small parts machining, where high-precision taper machining, profiling, and undercutting are required, improved machining accuracy and consistent surface quality are essential. This is especially true for applications such as fitting components on automatic lathes, medical implants, and shafts, where there is a growing demand for high-precision inserts with a 25° corner angle. However, suitable ground inserts optimized for this field have been limited, posing challenges in ensuring machining stability and quality under the current Challenges and Market Conditions.
The Y-Pro Series is an ideal tool line for complex turning operations such as profiling, undercutting, and V-groove machining. Its unique 25° corner angle design enables high-precision machining while avoiding interference. It is also compatible with multi-tasking machines and automatic lathes.
