Seco Helix™ wiper – The winning concept 05:05

Wiper technology is now an established method for decreasing cycle times and increasing productivity. However, the increased cutting forces associated with wiper inserts can sometimes create vibration and chatter.

One way to reduce cutting forces is to reduce the wiper radius. This solution will give less cutting forces but also worse surface finish.

The Seco way, named Helix™ wiper (-WZP) is a clever system of changing the angle of the chamfer at different intersections of the wiper area and nose radius. This unique and patented design allows you to enjoy all the high feed rate benefits of wiper technology in setups where in the past a wiper insert have resulted in chatter.

Helix™ wiper (-WZP) will reduce the radial cutting forces up to 30% and the surface finish will be the same as for standard wiper.
