Iscar is unveiling a unique exceptional milling system that contains tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has noteworthy strengths as opposed to the contemporary flat, square shapes. The unique geometry has additional cutting edges, positive rake face, decreased cutting forces resulting in higher performance.

Iscar is creating a innovative unique milling system that that includes tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has valuable added advantages in comparison to the current flat, square shapes. The new design has numerous cutting edges, positive rake face, lower cutting forces causing in better performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the outside of many milling cutter types, providing optimal conditions also for heavy-duty applications with exceptional surface quality, saving numerous finishing operations. End mills are produced for 90 degree shoulder milling and for facing with 45 degree lead angles.

Each carbide insert features eight cutting edges, 4 for right-hand and 4 for left-hand cutting, multiplying the economy of use. The two, toward-center-slanted cutting edges provide on one side stable and accurate clamping of insert on the tool body, and on the other side, the positive axial rake angle. The usability of this positive axial rake formation diminishes the cutting forces owing to softer cut and ideal penetration into the metal, as well as altering force direction which is important for use on new machining centers with pallet systems much less stable than on the classical transfer lines.

In common applications like in the auto industry, the depth-of-cut is even less than thirty thousandths of an inch enabling the use of all 8 cutting edges of the Tangmill carbide inserts. Furthermore, in the automotive industry it is common to use a team of cutters, one for right- and one for left-handed operations, which indicates that all eight cutting edges of the Tangmill inserts can be employed.

Brand-new ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal

Present developments coming from the headquarters of Iscar, producing the completely new Upgrade campaign, which ensures that they are looking toward the future. The brand-new Upgrade campaign, proposed to be distributed at the end of year 2008, will offer revolutionary tools for milling, turning, hole making and multifunction applications, supplementing the FMR (Fast Metal Removal) tool families with one aim in mind - to increase productivity on the shop floor and to enhance profits.

Iscar's focus for this year, with no doubt, are the innovative coatings, brand-new substrate formations, innovative cutting edge geometries, completely new sizes, brand new tangential clamping mechanisms and brand-new coolant nozzle characteristics. Iscar's future trends incorporate revolutionary carbide insert grades for effectual and cost-effective machining, several cutting edges for each insert and greater tangential clamping mechanisms which can significantly minimize the cutting pressure. The launching of the AL-TEC, PVD coating predominantly for nodular cast iron, a-TECH, CVD coating particularly for grey cast iron and the DO-TECH, dual CVD PVD coating for upgraded strength will refashion the way industry machines cast iron. Moreover, Iscar making mini inserts is an alternate direction within the Upgrade campaign, talking about to diminishing the sizes of the Tangmill carbide inserts into Minitang, in order to facilitate fine pitch design which will improve feed rates. Additionally, the minimal size of the carbide inserts and their unique tangential position in the pockets creates possible a much larger core diameter, in terms of tool design, when compared to normal radially oriented inserts.

Several Progressions Have Extended Iscar's Families Of Indexable Endmills For Heightened Productivity
Helido-Upfeed 04 Two years ago Iscar introduced the extremely efficient H600 indexable endmill line, based on conceptually new Helido-Upfeed double sided inserts with 6 cutting edges. The first insert launched was the H600 WXCU 0806..., which was designed for milling cutters in the diameter range of 50 to 125 mm.

Push Pull Testing For Building Industry With Calibrated Measuring Instruments. Mechanical Load Testing Methods For On Site Evidence To Testing Standards.
Push Pull Testing for the Railway industry for proof of reliable anchor fixings. Calibrated push pull force gauges are used for stress load testing along with tensile strength pull testing procedures. Proof of load testing undertaken, measured, recorded in a reliable and standard way to BS5080 Part 1 standards.

Cutting Edge Tools And Carbide Insert Compositions From Iscar To Better Enhance The Machining Method
Iscar is introducing Penta 34 carbide inserts with a new PB chipformer. The PB chipformer features a single cavity with a positive rake, neutral shoulder angle, and a honed edge. It is actually a C-type chipformer with a different frontal edge.

Completely New End Mills Coming From Iscar Will Expand Productivity While Lowering Costs
Manufacturers and die & mold shops can banish chatter problems in numerous milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree end mills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eliminates harmonic vibration, the primary source of chatter. This enables faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling.

Iscar Offers A Completely New Family Of Slitting Cutters Applying Tang-Grip Technology And The Sturdiness Of Sumo Tec Grades
Iscar now offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that combine the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the added durability of the new Sumo Tec insert grades. The concept, already proven successful in Tang-Grip parting tools, has now been extended to slitting cutters.

Iscar Adds Their Most Recent Creations To A Extensive Line Of Prospering Hole Producing Solutions
Iscar recently released several different drilling innovations to meet their customers needs. These new products are Sumocham Drill, DR-DH and Deep Drills. Drawing off of their experience Iscar has come up with new and innovative ways to increase productivity for the end user.
