Large LP09 Inserts for HighFeed 2 Cutter Bodies

To eliminate long face milling cycle times and ensure process security, Seco Tools has introduced new larger LP09 inserts for the company's HighFeed 2 cutter bodies. The new inserts are designed for high-feed milling operations including face, helical interpolation, slotting, side milling, pocketing and plunging, in challenging workpieces often found in the mold and die, aerospace, and oil and gas industries.

EDGE2 DSS Milling System

The new EDGE2 DSS system from DAPRA Corp. was engineered to deliver both premium 90° milling performance and indexable milling value. Double-sided DSS inserts provide four usable cutting edges to significantly lower cost-per-edge versus single-sided inserts, and DAPRA's permanent automatic cutter replacement program makes it easier for shops to keep good-condition tools in use rather than making do with worn-out cutters.

HARVITM Ultra 8X Helical Milling Cutter

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.

Cutting Tools and Chucks Optimized for Machining Connecting Rods

Connecting rods are highly stressed engine parts. To take account of downsizing and the reduction of CO2 emissions, connecting rods are also becoming increasingly lighter. This is achieved on the one hand through the use of high-strength and innovative materials, and on the other hand through modern production processes. This also changes the shape of the connecting rods and the variety of shapes increases. MAPAL offers the complete process for machining different types of connecting rods – whether on the transfer line or the machining center, as well as for wet or MQL machining.

»Cool Injection-Plus» PCD Milling Cutter

In November 2004, when LACH was awarded the German Innovation Prize for a newly developed technology for the cost and time efficient machining of aluminum components with a monoblock diamond cutter »dia-compact«, it was already said, "Nothing is more efficient than this … ." However, there was still something more efficient – as proven by the development of »Cool Injection-Plus», cooling directly via the PCD cutting insert.

Milling Tools With Pressed, Radial ISO Indexable Inserts

MAPAL has introduced a milling program with pressed, radial ISO indexable inserts, thus completing the portfolio of standard milling tools. Up to now, the company has mainly focused on a milling program with ground, tangential ISO indexable inserts. These are used in particular for special applications, very large stock removal, unstable conditions or disc milling cutters.
