TurnTen-Feed | Efficiency and Economy in Medium-Heavy Turning

Components for the aerospace, power and heavy equipment sectors require high material removal rates and extended machining hours. These expensive components require high machining reliability and tool life predictability. TurnTen-Feed provides that tool reliability and machining efficiency in medium-heavy turning. The insert features 10 cost-efficient cutting edges. It’s double-sided and securely mounted with a dovetail clamping system, ensuring high reliability and stability.

hyperMILL 2019.2 CAD/CAM Software

OPEN MIND Technologies AG has introduced hyperMILL 2019.2, a new version of its advanced, comprehensive CAD/CAM software suite. The latest hyperMILL software has a range of new features including high-precision 3D finishing, 5-axis tangent machining, high-performance turning and new CAD-for-CAM technologies.

ISO Positive Turning Inserts in -01 Geometry

Tungaloy enhances its ISO positive turning inserts in “-01” geometry to include a 0.4 mm (0.0157") nose radius prepared in a minus tolerance specifically for precision finishing in Swiss turning applications. The new -01 geometry is designed to deliver consistent chip control at extremely light cutting depths of 0.5 mm (0.020") or smaller.

DuoJust-Cut, TetraMini-Cut and TetraForce-Cut Grooving and Parting Tools

Tungaloy is expanding its DuoJust-Cut, TetraMini-Cut and TetraForce-Cut lines of indexable grooving and parting tools to enhance their flexibility and application ranges. Tungaloy’s DuoJust-Cut, TetraMini-Cut and TetraForce-Cut are successful lines of grooving and parting tool series that feature an innovative insert clamping interface for secure mounting during challenging operations.

T9200 CVD Grade Insert Series

Tungaloy is expanding its T9200 CVD grade insert series to include T9205 and T9235 grades as well as the -TSF and -TM style chipbreakers to conquer steel turning markets. Both T9205 and T9235 are designed to provide outstanding wear resistance in the P05 and P35 application ranges surpassing existing CVD grades.

JETI (Jetstream Integrated) Tooling

New additions to JETI (Jetstream Integrated) tooling from Seco Tools eliminate coolant-through tooling and connector interference that hinders grooving, parting-off and other turning operations. With interference-free internal coolant capabilities and the option to switch the underside stream channel on and off as required, these expansions to the range of MDT (Multiple-Directional Turning) X4 (grooving and parting-off) and 150.10 (parting-off) toolholders add operational stability and reliability while they improve surface finishes.

Ceratizit Group promotes Team Cutting Tools at Open Days 2019

In connection with the Ceratizit Open Days 2019 press event May 13-15, I visited several of the cutting tool manufacturer’s German facilities (in Stuttgart, Balzheim and Kempten), as well as Ceratizit Reutte in Breitenwang, Austria. The Luxembourg-based Ceratizit Group has combined its Ceratizit, Komet, WNT and Klenk brands under the name Team Cutting Tools.

WBH10C, WBH10 and WBH20 PCBN Inserts

Walter has introduced new PCBN grades for improved turning of hardened steel up to 65 HRC. These grades (WBH10C, WBH10 and WBH20) provide users with an array of benefits. High-quality surface finish due to unique new wiper geometry (MW2) and long tool life with the new TiAlSiN-coated grade (WBH10C) are just some of these benefits.

PCD Turning Inserts

Carmex Precision Tools Ltd. has introduced new diamond turning inserts designed to enable customers to achieve higher productivity and greater efficiency in machining hard materials faster and more effectively than grinding or ceramics. The PCD inserts excel in the machining of nonferrous materials, including high-silicon aluminum, copper and brass alloys, magnesium, carbon fiber reinforced plastics, and composites.

T-CBN Grade BX480 Insert Series

Tungaloy adds a line of positive style inserts to its BX480 insert series, a well-proven T-CBN grade for efficient turning of sintered powder metals and cast iron.
