Iscar is unveiling a groundbreaking distinct milling system that which includes tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has important advantage as opposed to the current flat, square shapes. The brand new geometry has more cutting edges, positive rake face, decreased cutting forces resulting in higher performance.
Iscar is developing a brand new innovative milling system that contains tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has notable added advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new design has additional cutting edges, positive rake face, reduced cutting forces causing in better performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the outside of multiple milling cutter types, providing optimum conditions also for heavy-duty requirements with remarkable surface quality, saving multiple finishing operations. End mills are produced for 90 degree shoulder milling and for facing with 45 degree lead angles.
Each carbide insert includes eight cutting edges, 4 for right-hand and 4 for left-hand cutting, improving the economy of use. The two, toward-center-slanted cutting edges furnish on one side stable and proper clamping of insert within the tool body, and on the other side, the positive axial rake angle. The functionality of this positive axial rake structure subdues the cutting forces owing to softer cut and ideal penetration into the metal, as well as changing force direction which is required for use on new machining centers with pallet systems less stable than on the classical transfer lines.
In common applications like in the auto industry, the depth-of-cut is under than thirty thousandths of an inch facilitating the use of all 8 cutting edges of the Tangmill carbide inserts. Additionally, in the automotive industry it is normal to use a team of cutters, one for right- and one for left-handed operations, which indicates that all eight cutting edges of the Tangmill inserts can be applied.
New ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal
Recent developments coming from the headquarters of Iscar, creating the completely new Upgrade campaign, which insures that they are looking toward the future. The brand new Upgrade campaign, proposed to be distributed at the end of year 2008, will offer groundbreaking tools for milling, turning, hole making and multifunction applications, supplementing the FMR (Fast Metal Removal) tool families with one aim in mind - to improve productivity on the shop floor and to increase profits.
Iscar's focus for this year, with no doubt, are the new coatings, brand-new substrate formations, brand-new cutting edge geometries, brand new sizes, revolutionary tangential clamping mechanisms and brand new coolant nozzle characteristics. Iscar's future trends incorporate brand-new carbide insert grades for effectual and cost-effective machining, several cutting edges for each insert and excellent tangential clamping mechanisms which can significantly reduce the cutting pressure. The launching of the AL-TEC, PVD coating mainly for nodular cast iron, a-TECH, CVD coating particularly for grey cast iron and the DO-TECH, dual CVD PVD coating for raised strength will refashion the way industry machines cast iron. Moreover, Iscar making mini inserts is an alternative direction within the Upgrade campaign, referring to limiting the sizes of the Tangmill carbide inserts into Minitang, in order to facilitate fine pitch configuration which will speed up feed rates. In addition, the minimal size of the carbide inserts and their unique tangential position in the pockets make possible a much larger core diameter, in terms of tool design, when likened to normal radially oriented inserts.
Brand New End Mills From Iscar Will Expand Productivity While Decreasing Costs
Manufacturers and die & mold shops can banish chatter problems in numerous milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree end mills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eliminates harmonic vibration, the primary source of chatter. This enables faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling.
Iscar Recently Made Public A Variety Of New Lines To Continue Their Family Of Milling Tools
Iscar recently released a new family of High Speed Milling adjustable endmills and facemills that will improve milling of aluminum, non-metallics, cast iron and hardened steel. This should prove especially useful in the automotive and aerospace industries.
Iscar Releases A Revolutionary Line Of Slitting Cutters Applying Tang-Grip Technology And The Sturdiness Of Sumo Tec Grades
Iscar now offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that combine the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the added durability of the new Sumo Tec insert grades. The concept, already proven successful in Tang-Grip parting tools, has now been extended to slitting cutters.
