Iscar Releases A Revolutionary Line Of Slitting Cutters Using Tang-Grip Technology And The Strength Of Sumo Tec Grades
Iscar currently offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that merge the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the added sturdiness of the completely new Sumo Tec insert grades.
The perception, already verified effective in Tang-Grip parting tools, has now been extended to slitting cutters. In the patented Tang-Grip clamping system, inserts are press-fit into their pockets accompanying a specialized hand tool, and are clutched securely in place without having the need without requiring clamps, upper jaws or set screws that can weaken the insert and thwart chip flow. The pocket composition utilizes cutting forces to keep the insert seated solidly in position, eliminating any prospect of insert pull-out. The Tang-Grip clamping system also fosters more accurate slitting cuts plus increased pocket and insert lifespan.
Iscar's Sumo Tec insert grades showcase a unique post-coating treatment which extensively improves tool life and constancy.
Introduced in late 2007, the new Sumo Tec treatment smooths the insert's coated surface to dispose of microscopic stress raisers, lessen heat and friction and increase chip flow. The result is enhanced toughness and resistance to chipping and built-up edge, all leading to enhanced tool life. The golden-colored side on Sumo Tec inserts facilitates wear detection. Size for size, Tangslit cutters offer more teeth than Iscar's SGSF cutters, permitting higher feed rates.
Their better rigidity leads to straighter, additional accurate cuts and lowered vibration even in large-diameter cutters. The new Tangslit TGSF cutters come in 100 to 160 mm diameters, 3 and 4 mm widths and can accept the exact same selection of inserts as Tang-Grip parting tools. Several other sizes will be added.
Available Sumo Tec grades for Tangslit cutters include:
IC808, with a tough submicron substrate beneath a Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating, providing incredible resistance to impact loads and built-up edge. This grade is suggested for slitting heat resistant alloys, austenitic stainless steel, hard alloys & carbon steel.
IC830, providing greater toughness for heavier parting and grooving including interrupted cuts. It is suitable for any stainless steel & high temperature alloys.
IC908, a hard, fine-grain substrate with incredible chipping resistance, mixed with a brand new Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating. It is ideal for nodular or grey cast iron.
IC928 and 928A, PVD TiAlN-coated tough grades suitable for stainless steel, high temperature alloys and other alloy steels. These grades are additionally recommended for interrupted cuts and heavy operations.
Each Tangslit and Tang-Grip inserts are attainable in J- or C-type chipformer geometries from Iscar.
Iscar Recently Made Public Several Original Lines To Increase Their Family Of Milling ToolsIscar 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 Adds Their Most Recent Creations To A Extended Line Of Successful Hole Making SolutionsIscar 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.
A Few Of Improvements In Carbide Inserts By Iscar Over The Last DecadeIscar is introducing a new unique milling system with tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has significant advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has more cutting edges, positive rake face, reduced cutting forces resulting in higher performance.
The Most Recent In Carbide Endmill Architectures In A Long And Effective Family From IscarManufacturers 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.
Many Progressions Have Broadened Iscar's Families Of Indexable Endmills For Increased ProductivityHelido-Upfeed 04 Two years ago Iscar introduced the extremely efficient H600 indexable endmill line, based on conceptually new Helido-Upfeed double sided inserts with 6 cutting edges. The first insert launched was the H600 WXCU 0806..., which was designed for milling cutters in the diameter range of 50 to 125 mm.
