Walter USA LLC has announced the availability of the Haimer Safe-Lock clamping system with specially modified Walter Prototyp solid carbide mills.
The problem of pull-out or micro-creep is prevalent in high speed machining applications and when working with difficult to machine materials like Titanium and Inconel. Conventional chucks are not fully capable of preventing this effect, not even when using the highest clamping forces. That's where the Safe-Lock clamping solution comes"
With the aid of special spiral grooves ground into the tool shank, the Safe-Lock's carrier elements, in addition to friction locking in the chuck, provide positive locking as well as high precision clamping. Also, Safe-Lock's optional cooling channels, included with all Safe-Lock shrink fit chucks, bring coolant directly to the cutting edge, extending tool life by as much as 100 percent. As a result of these factors, solid carbide end mills from Walter Prototyp with Safe-Lock allow users to benefit from maximum cutting parameters, and provide for the highest possible cost efficiencies that the tool and machine have to offer. This is true both for roughing as well as for finishing operations. Walter Prototyp end mills with Safe-Lock, available in 12 to 40mm diameters are able to increase productivity, provide run out accuracy, boost tool life and ensure extremely high levels of precision while drastically reducing scrap—vital for expensive workpieces so often encountered in high speed, high performance machining.
Solid carbide end mills from Walter Prototyp with Safe-Lock grooves are available through the Walter Xpress Service. This service was created for a defined range of special tools, where the delivery times are a maximum of two weeks.
Workholding device that affixes to a mill, lathe or drill-press spindle. It holds a tool or workpiece by one end, allowing it to be rotated. May also be fitted to the machine table to hold a workpiece. Two or more adjustable jaws actually hold the tool or part. May be actuated manually, pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically. See collet.
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
Walter has introduced the Walter has introduced the M2471, a copy milling cutter with excellent cost efficiency thanks to its high metal-removal rate -- even on low performance machines, coupled with lower cutting material costs resulting from its eight cutting edges (four per side) per insert.…
Walter has unveiled the Walter Cut G1221-P, an innovative grooving boring bar with precision cooling, for recessing and internal grooving. This monoblock boring bar has two coolant holes.
Walter has introduced three new Walter Cut GX Tiger·tec Silver CVD grooving and parting grades—the WKP13S, WKP23S and WKP33S—for use on steel and cast-iron applications. These have been introduced in combination with Walter's geometries UD4, UA4, UF4, RD4 along with plunge grooving and parting…
Walter has introduced the M2136, a multitooth close-pitch finishing cutter that features a high degree of process reliability coupled with superior cost effectiveness, particularly with cast iron, thanks in part to its eight cutting edges per insert. These stable, negative inserts promote not only…
Walter says its new FM5 finishing and RM5 roughing indexable insert geometries deliver optimal cooling, longer tool life, and increased productivity in high-temperature alloy and stainless-steel machining. The new inserts owe their effectiveness, in part, to their "jet guiding geometry,"…
Walter has expanded the capabilities of its popular Walter BLAXX M3024 heptagon milling cutter with new wiper inserts. The inserts, which have two right-hand and two left-hand cutting edges, were specifically developed for the Walter BLAXX M3024, and allow it to be used for finishing operations.
Walter has added to its range of solid-carbide milling cutters with the introduction of its MC232 Perform product line. This versatile, cost-effective new cutter type is available with 2, 3 or 4 flutes, in a diameter range of 1/8 in. to 5/8 in. (2 to 20 mm).
Walter says it has introduced a new and innovative cutting geometry, the MS3, teamed with a new high tech grade, WSM01. The new WSM01 grade, manufactured using the HiPIMS (high-power impulse magnetron sputtering) method, provides extremely smooth surfaces that are characterized by excellent layer…
Walter has expanded the productive and cost effective Walter Titex Perform lineup of TC115/TC216 taps with an array of new sizes. The Perform lineup of products is one of three categories to Walter Titex threading tools. Perform tools are products that provide an economical solution with focused…
Walter has introduced the Walter Cut—Modular System G2612/2622, new SX system tools for deep grooving and parting operations that reportedly save time and cost. Suitable for all machine types, and for grooving and parting-off ranging from small to large diameters, the system allows users to simply…
