Iscar Recently Made Public Numerous Revolutionary Lines To Extend Their Family Of Milling Tools
Iscar adjustable Milling Cutters
Iscar recently made public 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 specifically useful in the automotive and aerospace industries.
The cutters are dynamically balanced and particularly engineered to work with polycrystalline diamond (PCD) or cubic boron nitride (CBN) inserts. The use of these inserts will exceedingly increase surface finish. Standard HSM-rated HELIMILL carbide inserts will also work with these cutters. Internal coolant holes permit cooler cutting face with enhanced chip evacuation and built-up edge resistance. The insert pockets have a flexible rear stopper, allowing for axial positioning of the cutting edge within 0.002 mm.
Iscar's endmills designated E90AD are available in HSK A63 shanks in four diameters starting from 25 to 50 mm. Iscar Facemills designated F90AD cover the 50 to 80 mm diameter range are offered in 4 sizes.
When utilized with Iscar HELIMILL carbide inserts, the adjustable high speed milling cutters deliver a invariable cutting action at lesser cutting forces. HELIMILL inserts' helical cutting edges gradually enter the work piece lowering the impact load on the cutting face.
CHATTERFREE Solid Carbide Endmills
Iscar is increasing the tremendously successful CHATTERFREE solid carbide 4 flute endmill family with the addition of smaller (3, 4 and 5 mm) and larger (25 mm) diameters. The new solid carbide endmills are implemented for roughing and finishing operations. Due to their variable pitch they showcase outstanding chatter decreasing ability. These endmills are an good solution for low power machines by increasing their material removal rate and eliminating vibration. They can be utilized for full slot machining of up to 2XD with solid carbide endmills.
Iscar's CHATTERFREE endmills increase stock removal rate and shrink cycle time in most milling operations. Their unique ground geometry provides outstanding surface finish and prolonged tool life, while machining at high material removal rates.
New ID5 PCD and IB85 PCBN Tipped Milling Inserts
Iscar is adding a completely new TANGMILL ID5 PCD wiper insert and 2 HELIMILL inserts tipped with IB85 PCBN, for machining cast iron and a extensive range of difficult-to-machine materials at high cutting rates. The new LNAR 1106PN-R-S-W ID5 PCD tipped wiper insert has a exceptionally large frontal radius and sharp cutting edge. It provides a consistent clean-cut edge and fantastic surface finish of less than Ra 0.3 µm. Iscar's new HELIMILL insert ADKW 1505 PDER IB85 has an IB85 PCBN brazed tip and can be used on 90 various milling cutters for semi-finishing and finish machining on cast iron. The insert incorporates a 0.8 mm corner radius and a honed cutting edge (0.03 mm). It can be used on the conventional F90AD...-SFR or the E90AD ...-HSK63-S axially adjustable milling cutters.
By adjusting the axial position of the inserts, it is feasible to accomplish a 0.3-0.7 µm surface finish. IB85 is a fine grain polycrystalline cubic boron nitride grade. The small grain size enables grinding a extraordinarily sharp cutting edge and achieving high surface quality, which allow for excellent tool life. The IB85 grade can be used for machining a wide range of difficult to machine material at high cutting rates and provides exceptional tool life. IB85 contains 85% PCBN with Al Co and W binder.
It is a tremendously strong and tough material which can be employed for heavy roughing and interrupted cuts. The array of materials covered by IB85 encompasses hardened and cast steel of over 45 HRc, grey and nodular cast iron, powder compacted and sintered metals and heat resistant alloys.
