4 Operation
Notice
If the equipm ent is used in a manner not specif ied, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
4.1 Setting up dampened turning
adaptor
Before use
Make sure that the machine side, coupling surfaces of the tool and
tool holder are free from dust or chips. If necessar y, clean with a wet /
dry cloth.
18
Setting up dampened adaptors
Two important factors for achieving the right dimensional tolerances
and surface finish of the component are clamping stability and
correct center height for the i nser t.
- Ensure that the length of the t urning adaptor allows for the
recommended clamping lengths. The clamping length is
recommended to be 4 times the diameter of the bar, minimum 3xd.
- Clamp in a split sleeve holder to achieve maximum contact area.
Recommended clamping tolerance is ISO H7. Recommended
bushing material w ith a minimum 45 HRC to avoid permanent
deformation.
- Never use screw s in direct contact with the bar shank as they may
damage the bar.
19
Orient tool
The tool must be rotated to the correct position (around center a xis),
for cor rect placement of the insert. This is done most easily with the
Silent Tools™ Plus sof tware. We recommend doing this when the
Silent Tools™ Plus sof tware is up and running.
A manu al lever can be used on slant bed machines.
Overhang (OHX)
The Silent Tools™ Plus Cylindrical Turning adaptor with Load Sensor
has a fixed overhang position. The sensor is placed at a specific
position inside the tool to ensure it functions as intended. Refer to t he
cata log drawing for the adaptor.
The Silent Tools™ Plus Cylindrical Turning adaptor with only Vi bration
Sensor can be used wit h overh ang bet ween OHN and OHX, as
specified in the catalog drawing for the adaptor.

Follow instruction in the user manual for
the electronic unit.
- Make threading holes on the machine tool holder (4).
- Fasten the electronic unit to the machine tool holder (4).
- Connect the dampened turning adaptor to the electronic unit using
connecting wire (1).
- Antenna lid (3) should be in front when fastening the electronic unit
to the tool holder.
- Risk for breakage: Make sure th at the connecting cable is not in
contact wit h machine or other par ts that may c ause damages by
running over, pinching, dragging or the like.

Coolant flow
Make su re that t he coupling surfaces and threads of the fitting are
free from dust or particles. If necessary, clean with a cloth.
Thread type: G1/8 (1/8 BSP), Sealing is provided by an O-ring gasket
or a sealing washer. Torque according to fitting instructions.
Maximum pressure
The tool is design for a maximum coolant pressure of 150 PN (ba r).
Caution
Use fi ttings and tubing towards t he tool according to the maximum
coolant pressure used.
22
4.4 Connecting cables
Connect cable(s)
The adaptor sensor is connected to the radio module through a cable.
The adaptor may be equipped with one or two connector(s). The
connector is of a type PP (push -pull). Orient the cable as indicated by
the groove in the connector or N-mark. Push it in. Do not twist.
Removing cable(s)
Grasp the cable by the plug and pull out. Do not t wist.
Do not pull from the cable.

4.5 Starting up
Updating adaptor
See Use r Manual Silent Tools™ Plus Electronic Unit.
4.6 Updating the firmware
Firmware upload
Caution
Uploading f irmware can take some time. Ensure that the battery is at
least 75% charged before you star t the upload. Do not remove the
battery during t he upload process. Software is downloaded to the
tablet/PC.
When new application software is connected to the tools electronic
unit:
1) It will check if new firmware has been downloaded, compared to the
version used .
2) User will be prompted to update f irmware or postpone update.
3) When the update is complete, a message appears.
24
5 The sensors
Sensors
The Silent Tools™ Plus Cylindrical Turning adaptor can be equipped
with one or two senso r units.
Sensor 1, vibration
The vibration sensor is located just behind the cutting head interface.
It is positioned as close to the insert as possible, ensuring that the
vibr ation s that affect the sur face qualit y are monitored. The sensor
monitors vibration in three axes. The sensor monitors vibration values
from very small vibrations up to crash sit uations.
The algorithms in t he Silent Tools™ Plus softw are prov ide you w ith
analysis of the sensor information registrated during the machinging
process. The main functionsare in cut-, roughness- and vibration
monitoring. In the Silent Tools™ Plus software the algorithms are
anal yzed in more detail.
The temperature probe monitors the internal temperature in the
adaptor. Operating the adaptor within the specified temperature
range ensures optimal performance of the damping system.
The vibration sensor is calibrated from the factory.
25
Sensor 2, Load
The load sensor monitors the cutting forces and the bending of the
tool. It monitors the adaptors bending in two axes ( X and Y).
The sensor provides i nput to t he load and deflecton f unctions. It also
provides enhanced functions of the in cut and roughness functions.
More information about these funcions can be found in the Silent
Tools Plus software.
Caution
The sensor must be calibrated for best performance:
• Load function is factory calibrated, and can be f urther improved
• Deflection calibration must be done in the turning machine where
the tool is to be used
Calibration is done by a Sandvik Coromant technician or through a
specific test cut procedure. This w ill also enhance the tolerance of
the load function.
