Sandvik Coromant 6188381 Turning Profiling Head C5 90mm

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 6188381 is a modular turning profiling head engineered for external and contour turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the T-Max P series, this right-hand cutting head features a C5 system size with a head length projection of 3.54 inches (90 mm) and a center-to-cutting-edge distance of 0.67 inches (17 mm). It uses a lever-clamping insert-holding method and accepts CNMG 432 (CNMG 120408) style inserts. Through-coolant capability is built in, supporting higher cutting speeds and longer tool life in demanding turning applications.

This profiling head is suited for precision turning work on medium-to-large CNC lathes where modular tooling systems are used to reduce setup time and maintain consistent tool geometry across multiple setups. The C5 interface provides rigid coupling between the head and the shank body, making it appropriate for finishing and semi-finishing passes on contoured workpieces. It is typically used by machining professionals, CNC operators, and tooling engineers working in job shops, production facilities, and aerospace or general metalworking environments.

Key Features

• T-Max P series modular system with C5 interface for rigid, repeatable coupling
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard external turning orientations
• Accepts CNMG 432 (CNMG 120408) inserts with lever-type clamping for secure hold under load
• Built-in through-coolant for effective chip evacuation and thermal management at the cutting zone
• Head length projection of 3.54 inches (90 mm) accommodates reach requirements in profiling applications
• Minimum bore clearance of 1.26 inches (32 mm) for use in confined workpiece geometries

Compatibility

Designed for use with CNMG 432 (CNMG 120408) turning inserts and compatible with C5 modular shank bodies within the SANDVIK COROMANT T-Max P tooling system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or tooling technician familiar with modular turning systems. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the head. Ensure the C5 coupling interface and mating shank are clean and free of chips or debris before assembly, as contamination at the interface will affect tool runout and surface finish. Verify insert seating and lever clamp engagement before initiating any cutting cycle.
