A Few Of The Countless Improvements In Carbide Inserts Coming From Iscar


Iscar is announcing a new unique milling system with tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has noteworthy advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new design has numerous cutting edges, positive rake face, decreased cutting forces resulting in higher performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the border of varied milling cutter types, providing optimal conditions also for heavy-duty applications with fantastic surface quality, saving several other finishing operations. Mills are offered for 90 degree shoulder milling and for facing with 45 degree lead angles.

Each carbide insert possesses eight cutting edges, four for right-hand and four for left-hand cutting, enhancing 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 usefulness of this positive axial rake design diminishes the cutting forces owing to softer cut and easier penetration into the material, as well as changing force direction which is essential for use on new machining centers with pallet systems less stable than on the traditional transfer lines.

In standard applications like in the auto industry, the depth-of-cut is less than thirty thousandths of an inch empowering the use of all 8 cutting edges of the Tangmill carbide inserts. Furthermore, in the auto industry it is normal to use a pair of cutters, one for right- and one for left-handed operations, which means that all eight cutting edges of the Tangmill inserts can be applied.

New ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal

Newly born developments coming from the headquarters of Iscar, delivering the new Upgrade campaign, which guarantees that they are looking to the future. The new Upgrade campaign, planned to be distributed at the end of year 2008, will offer completely new tools for milling, turning, hole making and multifunction applications, complementing the FMR (Fast Metal Removal) tool families with one aim in mind - to boost productivity on the shop floor and to expand profits.

Iscar's highlights 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 functionality. Iscar's future trends include new carbide insert grades for effective and money-saving machining, more cutting edges to each insert and advanced tangential clamping mechanisms which can significantly reduce the cutting strain. The launching of the AL-TEC, PVD coating essentially for nodular cast iron, a-TECH, CVD coating essentially for grey cast iron and the DO-TECH, dual CVD PVD coating for upgraded strength will refashion the way industry machines cast iron. Furthermore, Iscar offering mini inserts is another trend within the Upgrade movement, referring to decreasing the sizes of the Tangmill carbide inserts into Minitang, in order to simplify fine pitch configuration which will speed up feed rates. In addition, the compact size of the carbide inserts and their tangential orientation in the pockets allow a much bigger core diameter, in terms of tool design, when compared to ordinary radially positioned inserts.

Completely New Tools And Carbide Insert Arrangements From Iscar To Better Improve 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.

Various Progressions Have Expanded 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 Offers A New Family Of Slitting Cutters Utilizing Tang-Grip Technology And The Strength 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.

Iscar Recently Made Public Numerous Brand New Lines To Continue Their Family Of Milling Tools
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 Can Expand Productivity While Reducing 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.
