WP chipbreaker
Kyocera Precision Tools Inc. says positive-style inserts with its WP chipbreaker and a wiper cutting edge impart fine surface finishes at low cutting forces. The chipbreaker stabilizes chip conditions at low feed rates, controls excess chip breaking during high-feed and high-load machining and prevents tearing of the finished surface by controlling adhesion.
GC4305-grade insert
Sandvik Coromant Co. says the GC4305-grade insert maximizes metal-removal rates, shortens processing times and enhances component quality when turning steel. It is made of a heat-resistant cutting material that is suitable for dry machining, which is ideal for automotive part manufacturers that seek to avoid the stresses tools experience as a result of temperature fluctuations.
Air-operated lift-magnet system
Eriez' air-operated lift-magnet system moves multiple parts or cutouts up and off of burn tables. It also can lift single sheets or plates up to 3" (76.2mm) thick from a stack to load a table. The system improves productivity and safety by eliminating manual handling of multiple parts and the need for operators to climb on burn tables, according to the company.
ADDER universal endmills
Cobra Carbide Inc.'s ADDER universal endmills have a 40° helix and a variable-flute geometry. According to the company, the endmills enable chatter-free milling in hard, ferrous materials and impart fine surface finishes. The coatings reportedly allow users to dramatically increase feeds and speeds, take deeper DOCs and extend tool life.
Aqua Drill EX Flat series
Nachi America Inc. says its Aqua Drill EX Flat series provides one-step drilling. The drill eliminates the need for a center drill or endmill on inclined or curved surfaces. The 180° flat cutting edge creates a minimal exit burr. The tools feature the Aqua EX coating for enhanced heat and wear resistance.
Mikron microtools
Mikron Corp. Monroe provides cutting tools from 0.004" (0.1mm) to 0.25" (6.0mm) in diameter for machining stainless steel, titanium, chrome-cobalt and high-temperature alloys. These include the CrazyDrill Twicenter with through-coolant ducts for centering, the CrazyMill Cool through-coolant milling cutter, the CrazyMill Chamfer deburring tools and the CrazyDrill Inox drill, which is available with or without through-coolant.
Heli IQ Mill inserts
Iscar Metals Inc. offers Heli IQ Mill inserts for numerous milling applications across a variety of industrial sectors. The three helical cutting edges reduce cutting forces and power consumption, according to the company. The inserts are now available in cermet for machining medium to hard materials, are peripherally ground for milling stainless steel, and are ground sharp and diamond-polished for cutting aluminum.
FMT beveling tools
FMT beveling tools from Fastenal Co. are for cutting inside and outside bevels, pipe beveling, countersinking and generating radius paint edges. The spark-free, heat-free tools enable users to make head changes in 30 seconds. The electric FMT Bevel Mate is capable of bevel depths up to ½" (12.7mm), and the pneumatic FMT Bevel Mite is capable of bevel depths up to ¼" (6.4mm).
PCD05- and PCD20-grade PCD-tipped milling inserts
Seco Tools LLC offers PCD05- and PCD20-grade PCD-tipped milling inserts for its Turbo 10 cutter bodies. The inserts are suitable for cutting aluminum, titanium, polymers and fiber-reinforced composites. When used with carbide inserts, the PCD-tipped inserts act as wiper inserts in fixed pockets.
SHEARDRILL solid-carbide drill
Morse Cutting Tools offers the SHEARDRILL solid-carbide drill. With a 140° performance point, the drill machines steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron and other materials, according to the company. The drill is available in through-coolant (3 and 5 diameters deep) and non-through-coolant (3 diameters deep) versions.
1:4 live tool speed multipliers
Heimatec Inc.'s line of 1:4 live tool speed multipliers enable tools to reach a maximum speed of 24,000 rpm. They are available for all popular live tool lathes. The speed multipliers are provided as axial or radial drilling and milling heads, with either internal or external coolant.
TriSpector1000 Vision Sensor
SICK announced the launch of the TriSpector1000 vision sensor for cost-efficient and reliable 3D inspection. The TriSpector1000 is a stand-alone, configurable 3D vision sensor that reliably inspects objects regardless of variations in object color, shape or position.
