Coromant Capto®
Technical Presentation
Coromant Capto
Coromant Capto is the only tooling system
that is equally effective for Turning, Milling
and Drilling
What is Coromant Capto?
Turning
Quick change tooling system for fast tool changing and
insert indexing
3000 style clamping unit used as a modular solution
Cutting units can be pre-measured offline
Can eliminate measuring cuts
Quick Change Tooling
Why should we use it?
Machine requires frequent setup changes.
Measuring cuts are necessary to get on size.
Machining is performed with high cutting data
and relatively short tool life.
Machining often involves difficult-to-machine
materials.
One operator services more than one machine.
What is Coromant Capto?
Rotating
Modular tooling system for changing tool lengths
Front clamping for fast tool changing
Available in all Coromant tool holding solutions
First choice for boring program
Modular Tooling
Why should we use it?
Tooling is used on a variety of machines with
different taper sizes
Special tooling can be built from standard
components
Production requirements change
Inventory reduction
What is Coromant Capto?
Turning
Clamping units that bolt to
the turret or cross slide
What is Coromant Capto?
Turning
Clamping units built
directly into the turret
What is Coromant Capto?
Turning/Milling
Spindle interface for
Turn-Mill machines

Types of basic holders
Rear bolt clamping
Retention stud
must be removed
Clamping from the
rear of the flange
Center bolt offers
highest clamping forces
Types of basic holders
Front clamping
Quick tool change
without removing the
holder from the spindle
Must be used
with drawbolt
Clamping from the
front of the flange
Flange diameter
The flange diameter is the
size of the coupling.
C3 = 32 mm
C4 = 40 mm
C5 = 50 mm
C6 = 63 mm
C8 = 80 mm
Features and benefits
