Walter has added indexable inserts to the range of products available via the Walter Xpress fast delivery service. Previously the special custom solutions available with Walter Xpress had been limited to round tools and tools that hold indexable inserts.
Additionally, the tools were required to be “close to the standard tools.” Now, Walter offers its customers the benefits of Xpress for indexable inserts too. These benefits include short delivery times of three to four weeks, depending on the product. These special inserts then allow customers to reduce the total number of tools required to finish a component and provide greater certainty when planning because of shorter delivery times.
The indexable inserts available via Walter Xpress include the high-performance P600x replaceable-tip drilling inserts and Walter Cut multiple-edge MX grooving inserts. The P600x drilling inserts are offered in quantities of 10 to 200 pieces with a diameter from 0.472 in (12 mm) to 1.496 in (37.99 mm). These are suitable for holes with a tolerance of IT8 or IT9 – either in intermediate steps between the nominal sizes or with a special feature such as a chamfer or a corner radius.
Also, the four-edged indexable inserts in the Walter Cut MX grooving system are offered in quantities of 10 to 50 pieces. These have a maximum cutting depth of 0.24 in (6 mm) and a cutting width of from 0.04 in (1mm) to 0.13 in (3.3 mm). The specials for MX inserts can include steps between nominal sizes or a feature such as a full radius, straight edge or a chamfer between 30 and 50°.
Machining grooves and shallow channels. Example: grooving ball-bearing raceways. Typically performed by tools that are capable of light cuts at high feed rates. Imparts high-quality finish.
The drills are coolant-through, straight flute (G-drills), with emulsion or oil and coolant pressure of 145-580 PSI (10-40 bar). They are offered in cylindrical shank configuration and have a 120° point angle with tolerance of m7. They are also offered in L/D ratio of 5 x Dc as standard, with…
The MD173 Supreme is a roughing cutter designed specifically for dynamic milling and for reducing machining time. Its cutting edges equipped with chip breakers enable excellent chip breaking, permitting superior process reliability with high metal removal rates, a plus for users with automated…
A patent-pending, highly textured, multi-layered MT-TiCN layer increases toughness and reduces flank face wear, resulting in lower cost per cutting edge. The inserts’ highly textured Al2O3 layer also minimizes crater wear, and the gold-colored top layer improves wear detection. The gradient carbide…
This grade is now capable of longer tool life, greater reliability, and approximately 30 percent greater performance in stainless steels (ISO M) and heat-resistant super alloys (ISO S), and up to 75 percent greater performance in steels (ISO P) than comparable grades. With the launch phase now…
These new vibration-free tools provide finish machining of precise bores (IT6–IT8) up to 6 × D, with high surface quality and are up to three times more reliable and flexible than comparable models. Their flexibility is boosted by the fact that the new Walter boring tools employ modular components…
With the TC630 Supreme, users can benefit from a range of advantages. A high level of process reliability for unstable machining operations, for example on lathes with driven tools or for long overhangs. Areas of application include medical engineering, precision engineering, the aerospace sector…
Walter has introduced the Xtra·tec® XT M5460, a new profile milling cutter that delivers maximum precision, tool life, and surface quality in precise machining of freeform surfaces and deep cavities.
These indexable turning inserts are designed for applications where a soft cut and high precision is required. Long tool life is achieved through the WEP10C coated cermet grade with multilayer PVD TiCN TiAlN coating and extra fine cermet substrate grain. Walter's combination of edge…
The WNN15 grade delivers outstanding process reliability and long tool life, even at extremely high cutting speeds. This means that it makes indexable insert drilling more cost-effective than comparable PCD tools with immediate effect. The indexable insert drills offer the advantage of multiple…
