A Couple Of The Several Improvements In Carbide Inserts By Iscar
Iscar is adding a new unique milling system using tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has considerable advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new design has numerous cutting edges, positive rake face, lowered cutting forces resulting in higher performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the outside of numerous milling cutter types, providing prime conditions also for heavy-duty applications with remarkable surface quality, saving several other finishing operations. Cutters are offered for 90 degree shoulder milling and for facing with 45 degree lead angles.
Each carbide insert possesses 8 cutting edges, four for right-hand and 4 for left-hand cutting, increasing the economy of use. The two, toward-center-slanted cutting edges provide on one side strong and dependable clamping of insert in the tool body, and on the other side, the positive axial rake angle. The usability of this positive axial rake design diminishes the cutting forces owing to softer cut and easier penetration into the metal, as well as changing force direction which is essential for use on modernized machining centers with pallet systems less firm than on the traditional transfer lines.
In standard applications like in the auto industry, the depth-of-cut is less than thirty thousandths of an inch enabling the use of all 8 cutting edges of the Tangmill carbide inserts. Furthermore, in the auto industry it is popular to use a pair of cutters, one for right- and one for left-handed operations, which means that all eight cutting edges of the Tangmill inserts can be put into use.
New ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal
New developments coming from the headquarters of Iscar, delivering the new Upgrade campaign, which guarantees that they are looking to the future. The new Upgrade campaign, planned to be distributed at the end of year 2008, will offer cutting edge tools for milling, turning, hole making and multifunction applications, complementing 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 highlights for this year, with no doubt, are the new coatings, new substrate compositions, new cutting edge geometries, new sizes, new tangential clamping mechanisms and new coolant nozzle functionality. Iscar's future trends incorporate new carbide insert grades for effective and money-saving machining, more cutting edges for each insert and advanced tangential clamping systems which will significantly decrease the cutting strain. The induction of the AL-TEC, PVD coating mainly for nodular cast iron, a-TECH, CVD coating essentially for grey cast iron and the DO-TECH, dual CVD PVD coating for enriched strength will transform the way industry machines cast iron. In addition, Iscar offering mini inserts is a different trend within the Upgrade movement, referring to minimizing the sizes of the Tangmill carbide inserts into Minitang, in order to simplify fine pitch configuration which will speed up feed rates. In addition, the nominal size of the carbide inserts and their tangential orientation in the pockets permit a much bigger core diameter, in terms of tool design, when compared to standard radially positioned inserts.
Cutting Edge Tools And Carbide Insert Arrangements From Iscar To Better Enhance The Machining Procedure
Iscar is introducing Penta 34 carbide inserts with a new PB chipformer. The PB chipformer features a single cavity with a positive rake, neutral shoulder angle, and a honed edge. It is actually a C-type chipformer with a different frontal edge.
Iscar Adds Their Most Recent Creations To A Extensive Line Of Successful Hole Producing Solutions
Iscar recently released several different drilling innovations to meet their customers needs. These new products are Sumocham Drill, DR-DH and Deep Drills. Drawing off of their experience Iscar has come up with new and innovative ways to increase productivity for the end user.
Iscar Recently Releases Numerous Brand New Lines To Increase Their Family Of Milling Cutters
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.
Several Improvements Have Enhanced Iscar's Families Of Indexable Endmills For Increased Productivity
Helido-Upfeed 04 Two years ago Iscar introduced the extremely efficient H600 indexable endmill line, based on conceptually new Helido-Upfeed double sided inserts with 6 cutting edges. The first insert launched was the H600 WXCU 0806..., which was designed for milling cutters in the diameter range of 50 to 125 mm.
Completely New End Mills From Iscar Will Increase Productivity While Lowering 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.
