WIDIA has created an app to quickly access machining speeds and feeds for WIDIA tooling without interrupting production. The newly released Machining Central app scans the WIDIA product bar code or searches the tool’s corresponding order number or an ANSI or ISO catalog number to automatically generate product information and availability along with feeds and speeds in seconds.
Designed for machinists and engineers alike, WIDIA’s Machining Central app also addresses specific machining needs that our recommended speeds and feeds may not quite address. The app features three NOVO (a WIDIA-developed programming software) based calculators, including endmilling and facemilling calculators.
“WIDIA strives to provide resources to increase productivity for our valued customers – Machining Central is just another way we’re doing that. The app provides scan, search and calculate functions, all in the palm of the user’s hand – simple and quick, without interrupting productivity. WIDIA loves getting app user’s feedback, as it’s essential to development and improving the user’s experience,” said Tarah Mendez, digital marketing program manager with WIDIA.
Machining Central can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.
Operation in which the cutter is mounted on the machine’s spindle rather than on an arbor. Commonly associated with facing operations on a milling machine.
Form of milling that produces a flat surface generally at right angles to the rotating axis of a cutter having teeth or inserts both on its periphery and on its end face.
With positive feedback from pre-launch customers, new high-performance WIDIA Victory turning grades reportedly deliver increased productivity with improved surface finishes and longer tool life across steel, stainless steel, cast irons, and specialty alloys.
Born from the success of WIDIA's VariMill I and VariMill II end mills, the VariMill II ER end mill offers the performance of its predecessors but with features that enhance stability.
Successful high-feed milling is characterized as using small depths of cut at high federates per tooth, with the result being higher metal-removal rates and increased productivity. As opposed to traditional milling, high-feed milling generates lower radial cutting forces, making it an attractive…
From its advanced VDS point geometry designed to reduce chipping on the cutting edge to its precision shank engineered for low runout, the WIDIA VariDrill is a new multi-application drill engineered to deliver acceptable hole finish and extended tool life across a wide range of materials, including…
In deep-hole drilling applications up to 30XD, new solid-carbide WIDIA-Rubig deep-hole drills reportedly remove between three and four times the metal compared to gun drills, in addition to delivering excellent hole quality and cycle times.
Widia has added tool bodies and inserts to its Victory M1200 series for facemilling steel, stainless steel, high-strength steel, cast iron and nonferrous materials.
The WIDIA Victory Top Drill M1 modular drills feature a solid coupling for consistent performance from insert to insert and easy insert change on the machine because of a front-clamping mechanism.
