Sandvik Coromant 6408298 CAT50 to Capto Taper Adapter

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 6408298 is a CAT50 outside taper to Capto modular connection adapter designed for use on CNC machining centers equipped with CAT50 spindles. This adapter bridges a CAT50 machine spindle to a C3 Capto inside modular connection, enabling the use of Capto-compatible tooling on CAT50-configured machines. It features a 30mm projection and a 32mm nose diameter, with through-coolant capability to support high-pressure coolant delivery directly to the cutting zone. This part is installed by CNC machinists and tooling setup technicians working in precision machining environments.

This adapter is suited for machining centers running CAT50 spindle interfaces where conversion to the Capto modular tooling system is required. The through-coolant design makes it appropriate for demanding cutting operations including deep-bore drilling, hard-material milling, and other applications where coolant-at-the-tip is critical for tool life and chip evacuation. The C3 Capto inside connection accommodates the corresponding Capto C3 tooling heads, making this adapter a practical interface solution in high-production or flexible-tooling shops.

Key Features

• CAT50 outside taper interfaces directly with CAT50-configured machine spindles
• C3 Capto inside modular connection accepts Capto C3-compatible tooling heads
• 30mm projection provides defined axial reach from spindle face to connection seat
• 32mm nose diameter supports standard Capto C3 interface geometry
• Through-coolant design enables high-pressure coolant delivery to the cutting zone

Compatibility

Designed for use with CAT50 spindle machines requiring conversion to the Capto C3 modular tooling interface. Compatible tooling must feature a Capto C3 outside connection. No specific machine model compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified CNC tooling technician following machine tool lockout and spindle-stop procedures before any tooling change. Ensure the CAT50 taper and Capto C3 mating surfaces are clean and free of chips, coolant residue, or burrs before assembly. Torque the retention knob or drawbar to the machine spindle manufacturer specification. Verify through-coolant passages are clear and that the machine coolant system is compatible with the adapter before pressurizing.
