A Couple Of Advancements In Carbide Inserts From Iscar Over The Last Decade

Iscar is introducing 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 additional cutting edges, positive rake face, decreased cutting forces resulting in better performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the boundary of assorted milling cutter types, providing prime conditions also for heavy-duty applications with excellent 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 includes eight cutting edges, four for right-hand and four for left-hand cutting, improving 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 owed to softer cut and easier penetration into the material, as well as changing force direction which is critical for use on new machining centers with pallet systems less rigid than on the traditional transfer lines.

In normal 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 automotive 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 employed.

New ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal

Recent 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 made public 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 boost 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 functions. Iscar's future trends include new carbide insert grades for effective and money-saving machining, more cutting edges to each insert and superior tangential clamping apparatus which will significantly decrease the cutting forces. 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 better strength will refashion the way industry machines cast iron. Moreover, Iscar producing mini inserts is a different 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 expedite feed rates. In addition, the compact size of the carbide inserts and their tangential orientation in the pockets facilitate a much larger core diameter, in terms of tool design, when compared to regular radially positioned inserts.

Iscar Recently Releases A Variety Of New Lines To Increase 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.

Iscar Releases A Revolutionary Line 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.

The Most Recent In Carbide Endmill Configuration In A Extended And Outstanding Family 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.

Push Pull Testing For Construction Industry Supplying Calibrated Gauges. Mechanical Load Testing Procedures For On Site Documentation To Testing Demands.
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.

Cutting Edge End Mills Coming From Iscar Will 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.

New Cutters And Carbide Insert Configurations From Iscar To Better Maximize The Machining Method
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.
