A Couple Of Advancements In Carbide Inserts By Iscar
Iscar is adding a completely new unique milling system with tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has meaningful advantages in comparison to the current flat, square shapes. The new design has more cutting edges, positive rake face, lowered cutting forces resulting in elevated performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the outside of numerous milling cutter types, providing optimum conditions also for heavy-duty applications with excellent surface quality, saving additional finishing operations. End mills are presented 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, increasing the economy of use. The two, toward-center-slanted cutting edges supply on one side strong and accurate clamping of insert in the tool body, and on the other side, the positive axial rake angle. The use of this positive axial rake composition reduces the cutting forces due to softer cut and easier penetration into the metal, as well as changing force direction which is mandatory for use on modernized machining centers with pallet systems less firm than on the conventional transfer lines.
In normal applications like in the automotive industry, the depth-of-cut is less than thirty thousandths of an inch providing the use of all 8 cutting edges of the Tangmill carbide inserts. Furthermore, in the automotive industry it is conventional 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 put into use.
New ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal
New progress coming from the headquarters of Iscar, delivering the new Upgrade campaign, which guarantees that they are looking toward the future. The new Upgrade movement, proposed to be released at the end of year 2008, will offer revolutionary tools for milling, turning, hole making and multifunction operations, complementing the FMR (Fast Metal Removal) tool families with one aim in mind - to improve productivity on the shop floor and to increase profits.
Iscar's focal point 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 capabilities. Iscar's future trends unite new carbide insert grades for effectual and cost-effective machining, more cutting edges to each insert and upper-level tangential clamping systems which will significantly lessen the cutting forces. The inception of the AL-TEC, PVD coating largely for nodular cast iron, a-TECH, CVD coating principally for grey cast iron and the DO-TECH, dual CVD PVD coating for enhanced strength will transform the way manufacturers machines cast iron. In addition, Iscar offering mini inserts is an alternate trend within the Upgrade campaign, referring to reducing the sizes of the Tangmill carbide inserts into Minitang, in order to assist fine pitch configuration which will accelerate feed rates. In addition, the nominal size of the carbide inserts and their tangential position in the pockets permit a much bigger core diameter, in terms of tool configuration, when compared to regular radially oriented inserts.
Iscar Releases A Completely New Line 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.
Iscar Recently Releases A Variety Of Brand New Lines To Extend 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.
The Most Recent In Carbide Endmill Designs In A Lengthy And Effective 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.

Cutting Edge End Mills By Iscar Will Raise 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.
Completely New Tools And Carbide Insert Arrangements From Iscar To Better Maximize The Machining Procedure
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.
