Milling

Milling metals hardened to 52 HRC and harder with solid-carbide cutters doesn't require a heavy-duty, high-performance machine tool when a machinist employs trochoidal milling and applies cutting tools with an appropriate substrate, coating and geometries.

Many times in making parts for aerospace engines with high temperature alloys like IN-718, Rene-95 and Waspaloy it is necessary to remove large amounts of material. Traditionally companies use, milling, turning or broaching to remove most of the material and then finish-grind to size.

Walter has unveiled its M2025/M2026 octagon finishing facemills designed to reporedly deliver superior surface quality on large cast iron components.

Walter says it has enhanced its M4000 milling cutter system with a new slot drill and a T-slot cutter, enabling users to tackle the vast majority of typical machining operations with a single high-performance yet cost-effective tooling system.

After years of developing and testing possible solutions, MachineWorks says it has produced a new algorithm for 5-axis swept volume generation.

MAPAL has now expanded its extensive milling cutter product range that has been well-established on the market for many years to include four new high-performance milling cutters.

toolcraft is now once again investing in the future and will take its first step towards Industry 4.0 in early 2016.

For the production of homokinetic joints of hardened steel, numerous automotive manufacturers and suppliers rely on ballnose milling cutters from the MAPAL CPMill program.

Harvey Tool has released its fall 2015 catalog.

The ITI-Exact MTS, ATS and BTS tailstocks accommodate many of Indexing Technologies Inc.'s non-lifting indexing and NC rotary tables when heavy and/or long piece parts are being machined.

The new Genesis 400H gear hobbing machine for workpieces up to 400mm in diameter and module 8mm supplements Gleason's successful line of Genesis hobbing machines in the medium-sized workpiece range.
