Some Of Improvements In Carbide Inserts By Iscar
Iscar is introducing 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 additional cutting edges, positive rake face, reduced cutting forces resulting in better performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the perimeter of various milling cutter types, providing optimal conditions also for heavy-duty applications with excellent surface quality, saving additional finishing operations. Mills are available for 90 degree shoulder milling and for facing with 45 degree lead angles.
Each carbide insert includes eight cutting edges, four for right-hand and 4 for left-hand cutting, improving 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 owed to softer cut and easier penetration into the material, as well as changing force direction which is critical for use on up-to-date machining centers with pallet systems less rigid than on the traditional transfer lines.
In normal applications like in the automotive industry, the depth-of-cut is less than thirty thousandths of an inch facilitating the use of all eight cutting edges of the Tangmill carbide inserts. Furthermore, in the auto industry it is common 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 utilized.
New ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal
Recent 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 made public at the end of year 2008, will offer new tools for milling, turning, hole making and multifunction applications, complementing the FMR (Fast Metal Removal) tool families with one aim in mind - to enhance productivity on the shop floor and to boost profits.
Iscar's highlights 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 combine new carbide insert grades for efficient and money-saving machining, more cutting edges per insert and superior tangential clamping apparatus which will significantly reduce the cutting forces. The introduction of the AL-TEC, PVD coating essentially for nodular cast iron, a-TECH, CVD coating mainly for grey cast iron and the DO-TECH, dual CVD PVD coating for refined strength will revolutionize the way industry machines cast iron. Moreover, Iscar producing mini inserts is another trend within the Upgrade campaign, referring to decreasing the sizes of the Tangmill carbide inserts into Minitang, in order to facilitate fine pitch configuration which will quicken feed rates. In addition, the small size of the carbide inserts and their tangential location in the pockets make possible a much larger core diameter, in terms of tool design, when compared to regular radially oriented inserts.
Brand New End Mills Coming From Iscar Will Multiply Productivity While Cutting Down 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 Releases A Completely New Family Of Slitting Cutters Applying 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 Latest Innovations To A Lengthy Line Of Successful Hole Generating 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.
Several Developments Have Extended Iscar's Line Of Indexable Endmills For Expanded Productivity
Helido-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.
