Cast iron milling is the next machining area covered by the new grades with Inveio from Sandvik Coromant. Having already introduced the grade GC4325 for steel turning, the cutting tools supplier introduces GC3330, a wear-resistant first choice grade for cast iron milling.
Iscar Metals is introducing new small-sized cost saving inserts. In many turning applications, machinists tend to use larger inserts than are actually required for the machining parameters being applied. To fill the need, Iscar is introducing a wide range of ISOTURN small sized inserts, which provide an economical advantage regarding cost per cutting edge.
ISCAR is expanding the range of SWISSTURN square-shank toolholders by adding new tools for high pressure coolant and also tools without the internal coolant feature.
Drivers are already used to the sixth gear, and the development continues. There are plans afoot for an automatic gearbox for a 9-gear transmission system. The reason is obvious, since it allows the car to be driven at optimal speeds for longer intervals and that saves fuel. Together with the continuing pressure to optimize, high volume gear production must become faster and cheaper. The EMAG Group has demonstrated their solution: the VLC 200 H Vertical Hobbing Machine that adds a new dimension to productivity levels.
