Cutting tools
the need for special drills. The combination of SUMOCHAM and MULTI-MASTER creates a promising synergy effect, offering tremendous potential. Efficiently removing a large volume of material through milling is crucial in the production of critical duty loaded parts, such as aircraft components made from titanium alloys. Extended flute indexable milling cutters, also known as “milling porcupines”, are highly effective for this type of machining, particularly when milling cavities, pockets, wide edges. The success of such tools depends on a combination of productivity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Introducing the QUICK-X-FLUTE a new family of 90-degree extended flute shell mills with double-sided square inserts. These mills are designed with an optimized flute shape that strikes a balance between tool rigidity and effective chip flow, enabling high metal removal rates (MRR) with substantial radial engagement. The developed flute profile enhances vibration resistance, especially during workpiece entry and exit allowing for increased cutting data and improved productivity. The inner channels of the mill have replaceable nozzles and frontal outlets, facilitating direct high-pressure coolant supply (HPC) to the cutting zone. This improves cooling and lubrication, contributing to effective chip control. Additionally, the double-sided square insert offers 8 indexable cutting edges greatly increasing insert material utilization. Non-Rotating Tools To achieve success in machining high temperature superalloys (HTSA), the selection of the right cutting tool material is crucial. Introducing IC1017, a new tungsten carbide grade specifically designed for ISO-standardized inserts used in turning HTSA. This grade boasts a high-hardness submicron structure and is coated with PVD enabling higher cutting speeds for enhanced
productivity.
Introducing LOGIQ-6-TURN a newly designed triangular insert that offers a cost- effective solution for semi-finish and finish turning with a focus on achieving high surface quality. This double-sided insert features a 55° corner angle and positive rake cutting geometry, providing 6 indexable cutting edges. It presents a significant alternative to the standard ISO- type rhombic insert of DCMT type, which only offers 2 cutting edges. One key advantage is the ease with which LOGIQ-6-TURN inserts can be mounted on turning tools designed for triangular TNMG inserts. Maximizing profitability through efficient use of raw materials during the parting process is crucial. ISCAR’s highly regarded DO-GRIP parting and grooving family has recently grown with the addition of three new sizes. of double-sided inserts, specifically designed for narrow parting operations These inserts are primarily targeted for Swiss-Type lathes, enabling optimal material savings when parting small-diameter bars, tubes, and thin-walled workpieces. The new tools are just a few examples of the various products introduced by ISCAR as part of the LOGIQUICK campaign. The numerous other product releases have significant interest and will soon be tested by manufacturers. With the increasing demand for quick metal removal, the need for advanced cutting tools continues to grow. This drives the development of tool designs and shapes the logic behind intelligent tool development. n www.iscar.co.uk You machining intelligently?
