Eckmesserkopf — 90° turning head for TPKN 1603–2204, Ø160, D40 shank (Teknik Makina)

The Eckmesserkopf is a purpose-built 90° turning head for external turning and facing operations, engineered to accept TPKN 1603–2204 indexable inserts for efficient material removal in CNC and turret lathe applications.

• 90° cutting angle for reliable facing
• Compatible with TPKN 1603–2204 inserts
• D40 shank with Ø160 head diameter
• Secure M8x24 clamping screw

Stable machining from a compact, heavy head

A rigid Ø160 head combined with a substantial mass of 4.15 kg provides inherent damping for improved cutting stability. This construction reduces vibration and supports consistent surface quality in interrupted and continuous cuts, delivering the principal benefit of higher process reliability. The 90° geometry produces predictable chip flow and concentricity, which is particularly useful for facing and shoulder operations in serial production or job-shop environments.

Rapid, secure insert clamping for predictable changeovers

The toolhead accepts standard TPKN 1603–2204 indexable inserts, enabling quick insert replacement with minimal setup time. A M8x24 clamping screw and a 5 mm Allen key interface ensure a secure seat and repeatable clamping force, reducing the risk of insert movement under load. The practical result is less downtime during maintenance intervals and a clear improvement in throughput for medium- to heavy-duty turning tasks.

Compatibility that simplifies tooling logistics

By supporting common insert formats and featuring a D40 shank, this head integrates cleanly into existing tool systems and holders, reducing the need for special adapters. The design helps centralise tooling stocks and streamlines ordering for production shops that standardise on TPKN inserts, which in turn reduces procurement complexity and supports faster response to varying batch sizes.

Built for continual production with clear handling benefits

An overall length of 62 mm and an effective measurement e = 66.7 mm deliver compact installation without sacrificing rigidity, while the head’s configuration with seven cutting edges increases utilitarian longevity between interventions. These attributes combine to lower total process interruptions and make the component suited to demanding lathe programmes where predictable tool life and secure clamping are essential.

FAQ

What insert types are compatible with this turning head?
The turning head is compatible with TPKN 1603–2204 indexable inserts, allowing use of both TPKN 1603 and TPKN 2204 sizes depending on the chosen insert specification.

Is the toolhead suitable for heavy interrupted cuts?
Yes; the Eckmesserkopf benefits from a Ø160 head and a mass of 4.15 kg, which increases damping and supports stable cutting under interrupted conditions.

Which shank diameter is required for mounting?
The tool requires a D40 shank interface for secure mounting in compatible toolholders and turrets.

How is the insert secured in the head?
Inserts are fixed using a M8x24 clamping screw; tightening and loosening is performed with a 5 mm Allen key for repeatable clamping.

Does the head require long installation space on the turret?
Its 62 mm overall length and compact profile are designed for minimal overhang while maintaining rigidity, making it suitable for confined tool stations.
