Micromanufacturing

Sold by Germany-headquartered Chiron Group, the refrigerator-size Micro5 machining center is designed to machine small and delicate parts for industries like medical, jewelry, watchmaking and electronics. The five-axis machine  can handle workpiece sizes up to 50 mm x 50 mm x 50 mm.

The webinar, which is based on the "Tiny Drillers" feature published in the August issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine, delves deeper into the products and strategies recommended for deep-hole microdrilling by Kennametal Inc. and Sandvik Coromant Co. In addition, a representative from MAQ AB discussed the company's vibration-damped turning tool that is 8 mm in diameter, which was the subject of a sidebar to the main feature article in CTE's August issue.

Not all titanium is alike. Depending on whether it is pure titanium or alloyed titanium, the chip removing process behavior differs. For these challenges, Mikron Tool has developed drills tailored to specific titanium grades that can machine titanium safely — with higher cutting performance results, longer tool lives and excellent hole quality. The webinar, which is presented by Clive Komlenic, sales director, East, for Mikron Tool, addresses chip formation, torque, material properties, overheating and Mikron’s latest state-of-art drill series technologies aimed at machining titanium.

In addition to featuring its Cut F 600 wire EDMing machine and Mill S 200 U five-axis linear drive machine, GF Machining Solutions highlighted the micromachining capabilities of its Microlution product line.  
 

CTE Publisher Dennis Spaeth asks MIKRON Tool's Clive Komlenic, sales director, East, about the company's new micro milling tool, the CrazyMill Cool Micro. The new cutter is said to answer their customer's desire for a micro tool that displayed a lot of the same characteristics as MIKRON's larger mills that start at 1 mm.
 

For Cutting Tool Engineering's EASTEC 2021 booth visit with Mikron Tool, Regional Sales Manager Clive Komlenic talks about the company's new CrazyMill Cool Plunge & Slot square and corner radius mill as well as its new line of small diameter micro mills (0.2 to 0.9 mm three-flute and 0.4 to 0.9 mm four-flute).
