New Cutters And Carbide Insert Shapes From Iscar To Better Maximize The Machining Method

Iscar is introducing Penta 34 carbide inserts having a unique PB chipformer. The PB chipformer features a single cavity having a positive rake, neutral shoulder angle, and a honed edge. It is actually a C-type chipformer with a distinctive frontal edge.

The revolutionary chipformer was designed for machining soft materials. It is an superb solution for parting bearing steel and other tremendously ductile materials. It can be used at low feed: 0.03 to 0.10 mm/rev.

The combination of the unique chipformer and IC908 grade provides incredible chip breaking and tool life results. The Penta 34-PB is available in a 1.5 to 3.0 mm width range, made from the versatile IC908 PVD coated grade. The unique family extends the application range of Iscar's utmost efficient grooving and parting PENTA 34 carbide inserts. The Penta 34-PB, when compared to a competitor's tool, is a winning solution for machining all soft and ductile material.

Iscar's Upgrades for Parting

Iscar has developed a unique family of reinforced Tang-Grip blades for the popular TRAUB (TNL and TNK models) and INDEX (MS18C model) turn/mill machines. These blades, due to their reinforced configuration, can be used in long overhang. Only the part of the blade necessary for penetration (cutting depth) has a reduced width. The remainder is thick, which provides improved rigidity and stiffness. These blades are an remarkable solution for parting and grooving between the main and sub-spindle of turn/mill machines. The single-ended insert has a extraordinarily rigid clamping and therefore provides a extremely substantial advantage over any other system.

Further additions to Iscar's Grip family are Do-Grip carbide inserts formed from the new Sumo Tec carbide grades: IC807 IC808 and IC830. The revolutionary Sumo Tec grades unquestionably extend insert life, due to the greatest advanced coating technology followed by a specialized surface treatment. This also provides bettered tool life due to decreased surface stress and an evenly coated top surface. The flat surface contributes to smooth uninterrupted chip flow, less induced heat and less friction. The new process promotes toughness and chipping resistance and thus reduces friction and built-up edge. This in turn expands and prolongs tool life at increased machining conditions for all types of work piece materials. The new PVD process is fashioned of Iscar's AL-TEC coating technology, using the unique surface treatment.

Iscar's Chip Splitting Inserts
Iscar's new HM90 APCR 220605-CS grooved carbide inserts put an end to chip obstruction problems in rough milling of aluminum, where chips can pile up. They are a part of Iscar's growing Helialu HM90 line of inserts fashioned particularly for aluminum milling. With two grooves pressed into all polished cutting face, the inserts split aluminum chips into a manageable size for easy, constant evacuation despite the application's characteristic large chip volume. The 22 mm inserts, each with two edges, are designed to accentuate metal removal over the full range of aluminum roughing conditions, from high power/low speed to high power/high speed. They work notably well with Iscar's cutting edge HM90 EAL/FAL...22 aluminum rough milling cutters. Besides reliably clearing chips, the inserts conserve power and diminish chatter in long-overhang setups. The inserts feature a cavity on the bottom to be certain correct mounting in cutter chip pockets furnished with normal spring pins. For optimum chip control, Iscar suggests using the HM90 APCR chip-splitting insert only in cutters with an even number of flutes.

A Few Of Improvements In Carbide Inserts By Iscar Over The Last Decade
Iscar 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.

Completely New End Mills From Iscar Can Boost Productivity While Lowering Costs
Manufacturers and die & mold shops can banish chatter problems in numerous milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree end mills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eliminates harmonic vibration, the primary source of chatter. This enables faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling.

Iscar Recently Made Public Several Original Lines To Increase Their Family Of Milling Tools
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.
