A Few Of The Numerous Improvements In Carbide Inserts By Iscar Over The Last Decade
Iscar is introducing a completely new unique milling system utilizing tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has noteworthy advantages in comparison to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has more cutting edges, positive rake face, reduced cutting forces resulting in elevated performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the periphery of assorted milling cutter types, providing optimum conditions also for heavy-duty applications with wonderful surface quality, saving several other finishing operations. Mills are available for 90 degree shoulder milling and for facing with 45 degree lead angles.
Each carbide insert has eight cutting edges, 4 for right-hand and four for left-hand cutting, improving the economy of use. The two, toward-center-slanted cutting edges supply on one side strong and definitive clamping of insert in the tool body, and on the other side, the positive axial rake angle. The usefulness of this positive axial rake composition decreases the cutting forces due to softer cut and easier penetration into the material, as well as changing force direction which is mandatory for use on modern machining centers with pallet systems less rigid than on the conventional transfer lines.
In regular applications like in the auto industry, the depth-of-cut is less than thirty thousandths of an inch facilitating the use of all eight cutting edges of the Tangmill carbide inserts. Furthermore, in the automotive industry it is routine to use a pair of cutters, one for right- and one for left-handed operations, which means that all 8 cutting edges of the Tangmill inserts can be used.
New ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal
Recent progress coming from the headquarters of Iscar, delivering the new Upgrade movement, which guarantees that they are looking to the future. The new Upgrade movement, scheduled to be released at the end of year 2008, will offer brand new tools for milling, turning, hole making and multifunction operations, complementing the FMR (Fast Metal Removal) tool families with one aim in mind - to increase productivity on the shop floor and to boost profits.
Iscar's focal point for this year, with no doubt, are the new coatings, new substrate formations, new cutting edge geometries, new sizes, new tangential clamping mechanisms and new coolant nozzle functionality. Iscar's future trends combine new carbide insert grades for efficient and economical machining, more cutting edges per insert and upper-level tangential clamping mechanisms which will significantly lessen the cutting stresses. The launching of the AL-TEC, PVD coating principally for nodular cast iron, a-TECH, CVD coating chiefly for grey cast iron and the DO-TECH, dual CVD PVD coating for improved strength will change the way manufacturers machines cast iron. Furthermore, Iscar producing mini inserts is an alternate progression within the Upgrade movement, referring to decreasing the sizes of the Tangmill carbide inserts into Minitang, in order to facilitate fine pitch configuration which will accelerate feed rates. In addition, the small size of the carbide inserts and their tangential position in the pockets enable a much larger core diameter, in terms of tool configuration, when compared to typical radially positioned inserts.
Several Advancements Have Increased Iscar's Families Of Indexable Endmills For Heightened 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.
Iscar Adds Their Most Recent Innovations To A Lengthy Line Of Prosperous Hole Generating 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 Several Brand New Lines To Enlarge 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.
Revolutionary End Mills Coming From Iscar Will Raise 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.
