Allied Machine & Engineering announces its new GEN3SYS XT Pro line of high-penetration drilling products. The product line features enhanced holders and inserts with three unique geometries, and two advanced coatings. Combining specific geometries and coatings to create the optimal solution for different machining materials, this next level of the GEN3SYShigh-penetration drilling product line delivers top results.
GEN3SYS XT Pro inserts have been designed specifically for ISO material classes, making tool selection easy. They are offered for steels (class P), cast irons (class K), and nonferrous materials (class N). The drill inserts come in diameters ranging from 11 mm (.4331 inches) to 35 mm (1.378 inches), and are available in 0.1 mm (0.004 inch) increments. The inserts designed specifically for steel and cast iron have new AM400 series coatings, which provides increased wear resistance and tool life. Inserts for non-ferrous materials are coated with titanium nitride (TiN).
Holders for the GEN3SYS XT Pro line are offered in depth-to-diameter ratios of 3xD, 5xD, 7xD, and a new 10xD. These newly designed holders feature an enhanced flute design that improves chip evacuation and an updated coolant configuration that increases flow and directs additional coolant to the cutting zone. The GEN3SYS XT Pro holders are available in both imperial and metric shank diameters.
Related Glossary Terms
- cast irons
cast irons
Cast ferrous alloys containing carbon in excess of solubility in austenite that exists in the alloy at the eutectic temperature. Cast irons include gray cast iron, white cast iron, malleable cast iron and ductile, or nodular, cast iron. The word “cast” is often left out.
- coolant
coolant
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
- shank
shank
Main body of a tool; the portion of a drill or similar end-held tool that fits into a collet, chuck or similar mounting device.
- titanium nitride ( TiN)
titanium nitride ( TiN)
Added to titanium-carbide tooling to permit machining of hard metals at high speeds. Also used as a tool coating. See coated tools.
- wear resistance
wear resistance
Ability of the tool to withstand stresses that cause it to wear during cutting; an attribute linked to alloy composition, base material, thermal conditions, type of tooling and operation and other variables.
