To meet the growing demand from the energy/powergen sector, ISCAR has launched a line of extra-strength standard grooving tools for more efficient and secure machining of T and L slots so common in turbomachinery. Previously such tools were available only as specials and in much more lightweight designs, the company reports. Key applications include T grooves on turbine disks, rotors and casings made of superalloys.
Huskier than any comparable standard or special available today, the LPGIR insert provides a very rigid platform with a choice of chipformers suited for either OD or ID work in long- or short-chipping materials. The cutting tip is very thick and longer for stronger gripping. This heavy-duty design brings a level of rigidity that improves finishes and enhances process security in high added-value components. By minimizing the risk of catastrophic tool fracture and reliably prolonging "time in the cut," new ISCAR LPGIR inserts even permit unattended operation.
For reliable chip evacuation in grooving and to meet widespread market preferences, advanced ground chipformers generate desirable long segments and, to minimize re-cutting, direct them out of the tightest groove. The PR type chipformer handles both right- and left-hand cuts; the asymmetric T type chipformer cuts only to the left. Also available as a standard is the P-type chipformer for limited, less challenging operations including short-chipping metals. Additional chipformers are available on request.
ISCAR LPGIR/L inserts are available in a width range of 2-5mm (.079"-.197") and can handle grooving depths up to 6.5mm (.256"). Matching HLPGR/L tools cover the size range to ensure system rigidity in all cases.
Machining grooves and shallow channels. Example: grooving ball-bearing raceways. Typically performed by tools that are capable of light cuts at high feed rates. Imparts high-quality finish.
The DCN drills feature cylindrical shanks, which enable clamping of the drill in hydraulic toolholders (most recommended) or in spring collets. All drill bodies feature helical coolant holes. Prior to using the 12xD drill, it is recommended to drill a pre-hole by using a DCN 1.5xD drill or a…
The double-sided CXMG inserts operate similarly to CCMT positive inserts and can therefore replace standard CCMT inserts. In some applications, they can also replace standard negative CNMG inserts.
Double-sided with a positive flank. Low cutting forces. Designed with a chipformer for general…
These inserts have 4 types of cutting geometries for machining different materials under diverse cutting conditions: T - Steel, ferritic and martensitic stainless steel, cast iron and hardened steel. HP - Austenitic stainless steel and high temperature alloys. RM-T - Interrupted cut for machining…
High positive cutter pocket inclination. Rigid clamping due to dovetail pocket design secured by clamping screws. Coarse and fine pitch cutter configurations. Coolant holes directed to every insert on the cutters. Precise double-sided square insert. Eight cutting edges – each edge comprises a…
Deep drills with a 3 cutting edged insert (other manufacturers only offer inserts with 1 or 2 cutting edges). Highly accurate peripherally ground insert, provides high hole diameter accuracy of IT10.
The chip splitter produces narrow chips for efficient chip evacuation, enabling high feed…
Two coolant through tools with top and bottom outlets for output pressure of up to 340 bars.
Significantly improves insert tool life. Quick, change fast and easy adapter indexing. User-friendly with a single clamping screw. No set-up time after blade or pocket indexing. Can be used next to…
The CHAM-IQ-DRILL design body is produced from special steel for high durability and a special stopper prevents the drilling head from being extracted upwards from the pocket. Long stoppers provide high resistance to cutting forces, enabling applications under very high cutting conditions. …
The Pentacut HP Jet line from Iscar Metals Inc. combines the cost-effective Pentacut—which can be used in multifunction applications, including grooving, parting, recessing and chamfering—with innovative high-pressure coolant technology.
Iscar Metals Inc.’s Heli Tang T490 milling cutter for roughing accepts inserts with serrated, chip-splitting grooves. These grooves can improve performance when the machine power is limited or when evacuating chips from narrow slots or deep cavities, according to the company.
The increased popularity of Swiss-style machine tools and the need for fast tool indexing with high repeatability and precision has inspired Iscar Metals to develop small-diameter cutting tools with precision indexing. The new PiccoAce system allows easy quick and easy clamping with modularity…
