A Few Of Improvements In Carbide Inserts By Iscar

Iscar is introducing a new unique milling system utilizing tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has considerable advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has more cutting edges, positive rake face, diminished cutting forces resulting in greater performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the edge of various milling cutter types, providing prime conditions also for heavy-duty applications with outstanding surface quality, saving several other finishing operations. Cutters are offered for 90 degree shoulder milling and for facing with 45 degree lead angles.

Each carbide insert has 8 cutting edges, 4 for right-hand and 4 for left-hand cutting, improving the economy of use. The two, toward-center-slanted cutting edges provide on one side strong and definitive clamping of insert in the tool body, and on the other side, the positive axial rake angle. The usability of this positive axial rake design diminishes the cutting forces due to softer cut and easier penetration into the metal, as well as changing force direction which is needed for use on up-to-date machining centers with pallet systems less rigid than on the traditional transfer lines.

In regular applications like in the auto 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 automotive industry it is prevalent 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 implemented.

New ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal

Recent developments coming from the headquarters of Iscar, delivering the new Upgrade movement, which guarantees that they are looking to the future. The new Upgrade campaign, planned to be released at the end of year 2008, will offer original 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 feature for this year, with no doubt, are the new coatings, new substrate formations, new cutting edge geometries, new sizes, new tangential clamping mechanisms and new coolant nozzle functionality. Iscar's future trends incorporate new carbide insert grades for effective and cost-effective machining, more cutting edges for each insert and forward-looking tangential clamping systems which will significantly decrease the cutting stresses. The induction of the AL-TEC, PVD coating mainly for nodular cast iron, a-TECH, CVD coating essentially for grey cast iron and the DO-TECH, dual CVD PVD coating for enhanced strength will remodel the way manufacturers machines cast iron. In addition, Iscar producing mini inserts is a different progression within the Upgrade movement, referring to minimizing the sizes of the Tangmill carbide inserts into Minitang, in order to aid fine pitch configuration which will accelerate feed rates. In addition, the minimal size of the carbide inserts and their tangential arrangement in the pockets make possible a much larger core diameter, in terms of tool design, when compared to routine radially positioned inserts.

Iscar Recently Made Public Numerous Brand New Lines To Extend 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 Announces A Brand New Family Of Slitting Cutters Applying 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.

The Latest In Carbide Endmill Architectures In A Long And Prospering Line 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.

Several Developments Have Multiplied 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.
