Iscar Recently Made Public Many Brand New Lines To Continue Their Family Of Milling Cutters
Iscar adjustable 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 valuable in the automotive and aerospace industries.
The cutters are dynamically balanced and specifically crafted to work with polycrystalline diamond (PCD) or cubic boron nitride (CBN) inserts. The use of these inserts will considerably enhance surface finish. Standard HSM-rated HELIMILL carbide inserts will also work with these tools. Internal coolant holes permit cooler cutting face with upgraded chip discharge 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 with HSK A63 shanks in 4 diameters from 25 to 50 mm. Iscar Facemills designated F90AD cover the 50 to 80 mm diameter range are offered in 4 diameters.
When utilized with Iscar HELIMILL carbide inserts, the adjustable high speed milling cutters produce a smooth 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 expanding the very 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 applied for roughing and finishing operations. Due to their variable pitch they showcase fantastic chatter decreasing ability. These endmills are an exceptional 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 improve stock removal rate and cut cycle time in nearly all 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 extraordinarily 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 distinct 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 standard F90AD...-SFR or the E90AD ...-HSK63-S axially adjustable milling tools.
By adjusting the axial position of the inserts, it is possible to obtain a 0.3-0.7 µm surface finish. IB85 is a fine grain polycrystalline cubic boron nitride grade. The minimal grain size enables grinding a very sharp cutting edge and accomplishing high surface quality, which provide 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 superb tool life. IB85 contains 85% PCBN with Al Co and W binder.
It is a very strong and tough material which can be put to use for heavy roughing and interrupted cuts. The array of materials covered by IB85 includes hardened and cast steel of over 45 HRc, grey and nodular cast iron, powder compacted and sintered metals as well as heat resistant alloys.
