GEN3SYS XT Pro Material-specific Geometries and Coating Combinations Deliver Premium Results

GEN3SYS XT Pro high penetration drills feature inserts designed specifically for steels (P), cast irons (K), and non-ferrous materials (N). The material-specific inserts for steel and cast iron have AM400 series coatings providing increased wear resistance and tool life. Inserts for non-ferrous materials are coated with titanium nitride. Diameters range from 11 mm (0.4331 inches) to 35 mm (1.378 inches), and are available in 0.1 mm (0.004 inch) increments. The flute design improves chip evacuation and the coolant configuration directs additional coolant to the cutting zone.

Optimizing vibration-assisted drilling

Process optimization is key to increase the productivity and quality of the machining processes and thus ensure the competitiveness of machining companies. Valid measurements of physical parameters are necessary for the ideal assessment of optimization and measures as well as the efficient use of production resources at their performance limits. MITIS, a leading manufacturer of systems for vibration-assisted drilling, relies on measuring systems from Kistler for cutting force measurement.

Contract manufacturer invests in fourth Starrag machine

Of all businesses, contract machining companies know what they want: Cincinnati-based firm Metalex Manufacturing Inc. already owns three Starrag machine tools, but after extensive benchmarking, the key customer has chosen to invest in a Droop+Rein T portal machining center from Starrag—its largest investment to date in every respect.

New 4TEX Drill Delivers Superior Chip Formation in Difficult Applications

The new 4TEX® drill is engineered to deliver optimal chip formation and evacuation and provide higher penetration rates than standard twist drills for light duty machines. This indexable insert drill excels in applications with interrupted cuts or when drilling on angled surfaces. The design increases core strength, improving hole size and straightness. Dual twisted coolant outlets improve penetration rates by enhancing coolant flow and generating superior chip formation and evacuation.

Challenging holemaking operations? No problem for KenTIP FS

KenTIP FS is suitable for many challenging operations. Chain hole drilling in steel is one of them. While KenTIP FS has four coolant holes — two at the tip and two in the chip gullet directly behind the head — the HPG geometry comes without front coolant holes. When drilling in steel it's important to concentrate on coolant delivery to the rake and take the heat from the contact zone between chip and rake surface. The new HPG geometry is especially designed for steel, and comes in the hew, highly wear resistant grade KCP15A.
