A Couple Of The Numerous Improvements In Carbide Inserts From Iscar From Over The Last Decade



Iscar is adding a new unique milling system with tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has significant advantages in comparison to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has numerous cutting edges, positive rake face, lowered cutting forces resulting in increased performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the border of numerous milling cutter types, providing prime conditions also for heavy-duty applications with fantastic surface quality, saving additional finishing operations. End mills are available for 90 degree shoulder milling and for facing with 45 degree lead angles.

Each carbide insert possesses 8 cutting edges, four for right-hand and four for left-hand cutting, increasing the economy of use. The two, toward-center-slanted cutting edges provide on one side strong and accurate clamping of insert in the tool body, and on the other side, the positive axial rake angle. The use of this positive axial rake composition decreases the cutting forces owing to softer cut and easier penetration into the metal, as well as changing force direction which is required for use on new machining centers with pallet systems less firm than on the traditional transfer lines.

In standard applications like in the automotive industry, the depth-of-cut is less than thirty thousandths of an inch providing the use of all eight cutting edges of the Tangmill carbide inserts. Furthermore, in the auto industry it is popular to use a pair of cutters, one for right- and one for left-handed operations, which means that all eight cutting edges of the Tangmill inserts can be applied.

New ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal

New developments coming from the headquarters of Iscar, delivering the new Upgrade campaign, which guarantees that they are looking toward the future. The new Upgrade movement, scheduled to be distributed at the end of year 2008, will offer cutting edge tools for milling, turning, hole making and multifunction applications, complementing the FMR (Fast Metal Removal) tool families with one aim in mind - to boost productivity on the shop floor and to increase profits.

Iscar's feature for this year, with no doubt, are the new coatings, new substrate compositions, new cutting edge geometries, new sizes, new tangential clamping mechanisms and new coolant nozzle features. Iscar's future trends unite new carbide insert grades for efficient and time-saving machining, more cutting edges for each insert and exceptional tangential clamping mechanisms which will significantly decrease the cutting strain. The introduction of the AL-TEC, PVD coating largely for nodular cast iron, a-TECH, CVD coating chiefly for grey cast iron and the DO-TECH, dual CVD PVD coating for upgraded strength will transform the way industry machines cast iron. Furthermore, Iscar producing mini inserts is a different trend within the Upgrade campaign, referring to reducing the sizes of the Tangmill carbide inserts into Minitang, in order to facilitate fine pitch configuration which will quicken feed rates. In addition, the nominal size of the carbide inserts and their tangential location in the pockets allow a much larger core diameter, in terms of tool design, when compared to ordinary radially oriented inserts.

Iscar Recently Releases Many Original Lines To Increase Their Family Of Milling Cutters
Iscar recently released a new family of High Speed Milling adjustable endmills and facemills that will improve milling of aluminum, non-metallics, cast iron and hardened steel. This should prove especially useful in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Iscar Announces A Completely New Family Of Slitting Cutters Utilizing Tang-Grip Technology And The Durability Of Sumo Tec Grades
Iscar now offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that combine the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the added durability of the new Sumo Tec insert grades. The concept, already proven successful in Tang-Grip parting tools, has now been extended to slitting cutters.

Iscar Adds Their Most Recent Innovations To A Long Line Of Effective Hole Making Solutions
Iscar recently released several different drilling innovations to meet their customers needs. These new products are Sumocham Drill, DR-DH and Deep Drills. Drawing off of their experience Iscar has come up with new and innovative ways to increase productivity for the end user.

Brand New Cutters And Carbide Insert Shapes From Iscar To Better Enhance The Machining Process
Iscar is introducing Penta 34 carbide inserts with a new PB chipformer. The PB chipformer features a single cavity with a positive rake, neutral shoulder angle, and a honed edge. It is actually a C-type chipformer with a different frontal edge.

The Newest In Carbide Endmill Designs In A Extensive And Effective Line From Iscar
Manufacturers and die & mold shops can eliminate chatter problems in many milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree endmills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eliminates harmonic vibration, the main source of chatter. This enables faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling.
