Cutting Edge Cutters And Carbide Insert Compositions From Iscar To Better Enhance The Machining Process

Iscar is launching Penta 34 carbide inserts by having a new PB chipformer. The PB chipformer incorporates a single cavity using a positive rake, neutral shoulder angle, and a honed edge. It is actually a C-type chipformer using a different frontal edge.

The revolutionary chipformer was designed for machining soft materials. It is an excellent solution for parting bearing steel and other extraordinarily ductile materials. It can be used at low feed: 0.03 to 0.10 mm/rev.

The combination of the completely new chipformer and IC908 grade provides excellent chip breaking and tool life results. The Penta 34-PB is available in a 1.5 to 3.0 mm width range, made from the ingenuous IC908 PVD coated grade. The brand new family extends the application range of Iscar's most efficient grooving and parting PENTA 34 carbide inserts. The Penta 34-PB, when compared to a competitor's tool, is a attractive solution for machining several soft and ductile material.

Iscar's Upgrades for Parting

Iscar has developed a new family of reinforced Tang-Grip blades for the prominent TRAUB (TNL and TNK models) and INDEX (MS18C model) turn/mill machines. These blades, due to their reinforced architecture, can be used in long overhang. Only the part of the blade required for penetration (cutting depth) has a reduced width. The remainder is thick, which provides improved rigidity and stiffness. These blades are an excellent solution for parting and grooving in between the main and sub-spindle of turn/mill machines. The single-ended insert has a exceptionally rigid clamping and therefore provides a very valuable advantage over any other system.

Further additions to Iscar's Grip family are Do-Grip carbide inserts built from the brand new Sumo Tec carbide grades: IC807 IC808 and IC830. The new Sumo Tec grades unquestionably extend insert life, due to the most advanced coating technology followed by a distinctive surface treatment. This also provides upgraded tool life due to low surface stress and an uniformly coated top surface. The even surface contributes to smooth uninterrupted chip flow, less generated heat and less friction. The new process promotes toughness and chipping resistance and thus reduces friction and built-up edge. This in turn increases and prolongs tool life at elevated machining conditions for all types of work piece materials. The new PVD process is made of Iscar's AL-TEC coating technology, utilizing the unique surface treatment.

Iscar's Chip Splitting Inserts
Iscar's completely new HM90 APCR 220605-CS grooved carbide inserts put an end to chip clogging complications in rough milling of aluminum, where chips can pile up. They are a part of Iscar's growing Helialu HM90 line of inserts tailored particularly for aluminum milling. With two grooves pressed into each polished cutting face, the inserts split aluminum chips into a easy size for easy, dependable evacuation despite the application's characteristic high chip volume. The 22 mm inserts, each with 2 edges, are designed to maximize metal removal over the comprehensive range of aluminum roughing conditions, from high power/low speed to high power/high speed. They work especially well with Iscar's cutting edge HM90 EAL/FAL...22 aluminum rough milling cutters. Besides reliably clearing chips, the inserts conserve power and reduce chatter in long-overhang setups. The inserts feature a cavity on the bottom to make certain correct mounting in cutter chip pockets outfitted with standard spring pins. For best chip control, Iscar advises using the HM90 APCR chip-splitting insert only in cutters with an even number of flutes.

Cutting Edge End Mills Coming From Iscar Will Expand Productivity While Shrinking Costs
Manufacturers and die & mold shops can remove chatter problems in several milling operations with Iscar's revolutionary Chatterfree end mills. 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.
