Some Of The Countless Advancements In Carbide Inserts From Iscar Over The Last Decade
Iscar is starting a new unique milling system with tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has significant advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new design has more cutting edges, positive rake face, diminished cutting forces resulting in increased performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the perimeter of a number of milling cutter types, providing prime conditions also for heavy-duty applications with excellent surface quality, saving additional finishing operations. Cutters are presented for 90 degree shoulder milling and for facing with 45 degree lead angles.
Each carbide insert has 8 cutting edges, 4 for right-hand and 4 for left-hand cutting, upgrading the economy of use. The two, toward-center-slanted cutting edges provide on one side strong and accurate clamping of insert in the tool body, and on the other side, the positive axial rake angle. The use of this positive axial rake design reduces the cutting forces due to softer cut and easier penetration into the metal, as well as changing force direction which is required for use on up-to-date machining centers with pallet systems less solid than on the traditional transfer lines.
In normal applications like in the automotive 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 automotive industry it is prevalent 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 utilized.
New ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal
Contemporary developments coming from the headquarters of Iscar, delivering the new Upgrade campaign, which guarantees that they are looking toward the future. The new Upgrade campaign, proposed to be released at the end of year 2008, will offer original tools for milling, turning, hole making and multifunction operations, complementing the FMR (Fast Metal Removal) tool families with one aim in mind - to enhance productivity on the shop floor and to raise profits.
Iscar's feature 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 features. Iscar's future trends incorporate new carbide insert grades for effectual and economical machining, more cutting edges for each insert and exceptional tangential clamping apparatus which can significantly decrease the cutting forces. The introduction of the AL-TEC, PVD coating mainly for nodular cast iron, a-TECH, CVD coating principally for grey cast iron and the DO-TECH, dual CVD PVD coating for improved strength will remodel the way manufacturers machines cast iron. Moreover, Iscar manufacturing mini inserts is a different trend within the Upgrade campaign, referring to minimizing the sizes of the Tangmill carbide inserts into Minitang, in order to assist fine pitch configuration which will accelerate feed rates. In addition, the minimal size of the carbide inserts and their tangential position in the pockets facilitate a much greater core diameter, in terms of tool design, when compared to regular radially oriented inserts.
A Number Of Improvements Have Enhanced 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 Recently Releases A Variety Of Revolutionary 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.
The Most Recent In Carbide Endmill Architectures In A Extensive And Effective Line From Iscar
Manufacturers and die & mold shops can eliminate chatter problems in many milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree endmills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eliminates harmonic vibration, the main source of chatter. This enables faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling.
Iscar Announces A Completely New Family 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.
Completely New End Mills Coming From Iscar Will Amplify 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.
