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

Iscar is announcing Penta 34 carbide inserts using 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 using a dissimilar frontal edge.

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

The combination of the brand 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 versatile IC908 PVD coated grade. The new family extends the application range of Iscar's most practical grooving and parting PENTA 34 carbide inserts. The Penta 34-PB, when compared to a competitor's tool, is a triumphant solution for machining every soft and ductile material.

Iscar's Upgrades for Parting

Iscar has developed a new family of reinforced Tang-Grip blades for the popular TRAUB (TNL and TNK models) and INDEX (MS18C model) turn/mill machines. These blades, due to their reinforced construction, 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 between the main and sub-spindle of turn/mill machines. The single-ended insert has a incredibly rigid clamping and therefore provides a very substantial advantage over any other system.

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

Iscar's Chip Splitting Inserts
Iscar's new HM90 APCR 220605-CS grooved carbide inserts put an end to chip jamming 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 specially for aluminum milling. With two grooves pressed into each polished cutting face, the inserts split aluminum chips into a manageable size for easy, reliable evacuation despite the application's characteristic high chip volume. The 22 mm inserts, each with two edges, are designed to optimize 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 revolutionary 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 be certain correct mounting in cutter chip pockets equipped with standard spring pins. For optimum chip control, Iscar recommends using the HM90 APCR chip-splitting insert only in cutters with an even number of flutes.

Numerous Developments Have Broadened Iscar's Families Of Indexable Endmills For Elevated 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.

New End Mills Coming From Iscar Can Multiply Productivity While Shrinking 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.

Iscar Announces A Revolutionary Line Of Slitting Cutters Utilizing 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.

Iscar Recently Made Public A Variety Of Revolutionary Lines To Continue 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.
