Some Of Advancements In Carbide Inserts Coming From Iscar



Iscar is introducing a new unique milling system utilizing tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has noteworthy advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has more cutting edges, positive rake face, diminished cutting forces resulting in elevated performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the edge of various milling cutter types, providing optimal conditions also for heavy-duty applications with outstanding 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 8 cutting edges, 4 for right-hand and 4 for left-hand cutting, improving the economy of use. The two, toward-center-slanted cutting edges provide 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 design decreases the cutting forces due to softer cut and easier penetration into the metal, as well as changing force direction which is mandatory for use on up-to-date machining centers with pallet systems less rigid than on the traditional transfer lines.

In regular applications like in the auto industry, the depth-of-cut is less than thirty thousandths of an inch empowering the use of all eight 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 implemented.

New ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal

Recent developments coming from the headquarters of Iscar, delivering the new Upgrade movement, which guarantees that they are looking to the future. The new Upgrade campaign, scheduled 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 boost profits.

Iscar's highlights 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 include new carbide insert grades for efficient and cost-effective machining, more cutting edges for each insert and upper-level tangential clamping systems which will significantly reduce the cutting stresses. The launching of the AL-TEC, PVD coating essentially for nodular cast iron, a-TECH, CVD coating mainly for grey cast iron and the DO-TECH, dual CVD PVD coating for enhanced strength will remodel the way manufacturers machines cast iron. In addition, Iscar producing mini inserts is another 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 expedite feed rates. In addition, the minimal size of the carbide inserts and their tangential position in the pockets make possible a much larger core diameter, in terms of tool design, when compared to routine radially positioned inserts.

Numerous Progressions Have Enhanced Iscar's Line Of Indexable Endmills For Expanded 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.

Brand New End Mills From Iscar Will Multiply 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.
