Milling solutions for semi-finishing and finishing

MAPAL expanded its NeoMill milling program with three new series specifically tailored to the requirements of series production: NeoMill-16-Finish, NeoMill-16-Face, and NeoMill-Alu-Rough. The company says that all three milling cutter series stand for high efficiency and process reliability as well as sustainable manufacturing – and thus integrate seamlessly into the existing portfolio.NeoMill-16-FinishThe NeoMill-16-Finish was developed for demanding surface finish and dimensional accuracy applications. The face mill combines a 16-edged roughing cutter (ONMU05) and an eight-edged indexable insert for finishing (OFGW07). The face mills are available in standard dimensions with diameters ranging from 63 to 200 mm and allow for easy adjustment of the finishing cutting edges. This enables surface finishes down to Rz 4 µm.NeoMill-16-FaceThe NeoMill-16-Face complements the portfolio for pre-machining. The ONMU05 insert with 16 cutting edges ensures low costs per component and stable machining, the company says. The tools are available in diameters from 32 to 125 mm and are particularly suitable for the series production of cast and steel components with small allowances (down to 2 mm).NeoMill Alu-Roughith the NeoMill-Alu-Rough corner milling cutter and end mill, MAPAL offers an innovative solution for roughing aluminum castings in the automotive, aerospace, and mechanical engineering industries. Single-row milling cutters with diameters from 50 to 160 mm are available as standard, while the NeoMill-Alu-Rough end mill is also available in multi-row versions with diameters of 63, 80, and 100 mm. Custom tooling solutions can also be configured. The combination of large chip spaces, tangential indexable inserts, and a wide selection of cutting materials (PCD, coated or uncoated carbide, CVD diamond) ensures reliable chip evacuation and high stability – even with large chip volumes.
