Milling

Cutting tool and tooling systems specialist Sandvik Coromant is launching GC4330 and GC4340, two new insert grades for steel milling. With the development of advanced production technologies, such as a new substrate, Inveio coating and an improved post-treatment technology, the new grades provide great opportunities to substantially increase tool life and process security compared to the previous generation of grades, GC4230 and GC4240, which will now be superseded.

Where do we come from – what is our destination? This was the question after the first introduction of this new cutting material "polycrystalline diamonds" (PCD) at the Hanover Trade Show in 1973.

Sandvik Coromant is releasing two series of ceramic endmills for optimized performance in nickel-based alloys. The latest brazed ceramic CoroMill 316 and ceramic CoroMill Plura endmills offer a more productive method for roughing in ISO S materials compared to standard carbide milling cutters.

Mill/turn lathes and multitask machines continue to cut a broad swath across the manufacturing landscape.

High Torque retention knobs keep toolholders in balance.

Machine Technology: Researchers are close to developing a precision robotic arm for more economical milling.

The H330 Series is engineered exclusively for high-speed milling of Aluminum applications.

Electric mobility is becoming increasingly important in the automotive industry. The number of electrically powered vehicles produced is increasing. MAPAL already offers a wide range of innovative machining solutions for the manufacture of individual parts and components that are machined.

Imagine burying a roughing tool in a block of Ti-6Al-4V titanium and ripping away more than 1,000 cm3 (61 cubic inches) of material in just one minute. If you'd been at a recent test of Kennametal's new HARVITM Ultra 8X helical milling cutter, you'd have seen exactly that. Using a 95 mm (3.74 in.) axial depth of cut, 20 mm (0.78 in.) radially, and a feed rate of 423 mm/min. (16.65 ipm), the 80 mm (3.15 in.) diameter HARVI Ultra 8X plowed through this difficult aerospace superalloy for nearly 3 minutes straight without flinching.

The DA110 Perform drill from Walter can be used universally and cost-effectively for a wide range of materials. It delivers maximum accuracy thanks to its precision-ground surfaces and a tip geometry that has been engineered for optimum centering accuracy, while keeping production costs as a primary consideration.

Machining productivity in aluminum alloys takes a major step forward with new STREAKERS M223 and M233 high-performance cutting tools, introduced by IMCO Carbide Tool.
