A Couple Of The Countless Advancements In Carbide Inserts Coming From Iscar

Iscar is introducing a brand new unique milling system using tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has meaningful advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has numerous cutting edges, positive rake face, decreased cutting forces resulting in elevated performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the perimeter of assorted milling cutter types, providing unmatched conditions also for heavy-duty applications with remarkable surface quality, saving additional finishing operations. Cutters are available for 90 degree shoulder milling and for facing with 45 degree lead angles.

Each carbide insert possesses eight cutting edges, 4 for right-hand and 4 for left-hand cutting, improving the economy of use. The two, toward-center-slanted cutting edges furnish on one side strong and dependable clamping of insert in the tool body, and on the other side, the positive axial rake angle. The value of this positive axial rake design decreases the cutting forces owing to softer cut and easier penetration into the material, 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 classical transfer lines.

In standard applications like in the automotive industry, the depth-of-cut is less than thirty thousandths of an inch enabling the use of all eight cutting edges of the Tangmill carbide inserts. Furthermore, in the auto 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 utilized.

New ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal

Recent advancements coming from the headquarters of Iscar, delivering the new Upgrade campaign, which guarantees that they are looking toward the future. The new Upgrade campaign, scheduled to be distributed 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 enhance 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 compositions, new cutting edge geometries, new sizes, new tangential clamping mechanisms and new coolant nozzle capabilities. Iscar's future trends incorporate new carbide insert grades for efficient and time-saving machining, more cutting edges per insert and upper-level tangential clamping apparatus which will significantly diminish the cutting strain. The inception of the AL-TEC, PVD coating mainly for nodular cast iron, a-TECH, CVD coating chiefly for grey cast iron and the DO-TECH, dual CVD PVD coating for upgraded strength will change the way manufacturers machines cast iron. Moreover, Iscar producing mini inserts is an alternative trend within the Upgrade campaign, referring to minimizing the sizes of the Tangmill carbide inserts into Minitang, in order to aid fine pitch configuration which will quicken feed rates. In addition, the compact size of the carbide inserts and their tangential position in the pockets facilitate a much larger core diameter, in terms of tool configuration, when compared to standard radially oriented inserts.

Original Tools And Carbide Insert Shapes From Iscar To Better Enhance The Machining Process
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.

A Variety Of Developments Have Enlarged Iscar's Line 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.

Iscar Adds Their Latest Innovations To A Lengthy Line Of Prosperous Hole Making 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.

Push Pull Testing For Building Industry Supplying Calibrated Gauges. Stress Load Testing Methods For On Site Evidence To Testing Requirements.
Push Pull Testing for the Railway industry for proof of reliable anchor fixings. Calibrated push pull force gauges are used for stress load testing along with tensile strength pull testing procedures. Proof of load testing undertaken, measured, recorded in a reliable and standard way to BS5080 Part 1 standards.

Revolutionary End Mills By Iscar Can Enhance 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.
