Koma Precision’s Elbo Controlli tool presetter app is available turning inserts for aluminum through the Okuma App Store. The app is designed to increase cutting accuracies and Milling inserts shop efficiency. It enables users to easily measure a tool’s radius and length and then directly send the offsets to the Okuma OSP-P control to update the local tool offset table. Physical measurements can be completed with the tool offset number and wear values. Once a valid measure is received from the presetter, the program will either allow data to be sent to the controller or will cancel the operation.

The app requires an Okuma machining center equipped with an OSP-P300 controller, an Elbo Controlli presetter such as the Sethy Six running software version 2.4 or above, and a valid network connection.

JM Performance Products Inc.’s high-torque retention knobs are designed to eliminate toolholder expansion, which can cause vibration, chatter, runout, poor finishes and poor tolerances in CNC milling. The knob design incorporates a relief beneath the pilot and reaches deeper into the thicker cross-section of the holder’s threaded bore. As a result, all thread engagement is said to occur in a region of the toolholder where the thicker cross-section resists deformation. 

The knobs are hard turned to ensure their fit and are balanced with threads cut to start and finish 180 degrees from each other. The company BTA deep hole drilling inserts says that Cemented Carbide Inserts the knobs improve tool performance, even in harsh environments, increase tool life by at least 20 percent, improve finishes, shorten cycle times, and increase productivity.

Mitsubishi Materials’ WSX445 double-sided, insert-type face milling cutter is designed to improve cutting performance by balancing high efficiency and low cutting forces. A double-sided, Z-geometry insert provides a sharp cutting edge with low cutting resistance, similar to both conventional positive-rake and negative-rake inserts. These lower axial cutting forces and radial cutting forces are said to increase rigidity, lower vibration and improve performance with reduced horsepower consumption. The negative insert design is said to help prevent adhesion to the cutter body by discharging chips.

The company offers multiple grades deep hole drilling inserts of inserts including the MP6100 series for (P-class) steels, MP7100 series for (M-class) stainless steels and MP9100 series for (S-class) high-temperature alloys. The Tough-Σ Technology design, a multi-layered coating based with AlTiCrN, is said to provide high-efficiency cutting with longer tool life and reduced thermal cracking in the P-, M- and S-class grade groups. 

Additionally, the company offers an MC5020 (K-class) grade for cast iron. This grade is designed to provide wear resistance, reduced shoulder milling cutters thermal cracking and minimized chipping, which is common when machining ductile cast iron, the company says.

HCL Technologies has incorporated the Zoller TMS Tool Management Solutions Interface into its CAMWorks software. The Zoller interface supplies customers with advanced tool database management options and an overview of available tools while eliminating the need to maintain multiple tool databases.

With the Zoller Interface in CAMWorks, tool data is standardized and the exchange of data between the two software Carbide Milling Inserts systems is automated. Customers can enter the information for their cutting tools once into the central Zoller tool database and the tools are imported automatically into CAMWorks. All tool parameters are captured, including contour line for holder and cutter, specific tool type as well as technology data, such as feeds and speeds.

The interface also allows users to define tools in the Zoller TMS Tool Management Solutions software with the same tool types and parameters that are being used in CAMWorks. Once a part model is programmed, the Zoller interface generates a setup sheet that includes a list of tools used for the part. The setup sheet is designed to assist with tool assembly, measurement and sending measured values to the machine for cutting the parts. The Zoller gravity turning inserts interface in CAMWorks is designed to decrease manual entry of tool data and streamline tool management.

Huots safety tool covers provide an extra measure of security for proprietary CNC tooling and confidential manufacturing processes. The CNC safety covers allow the operator to select the correct tooling while visitors or personnel are touring non-secured manufacturing areas. For tooling identification, covers can be written on with a dry-erase marker.The safety covers protect valuable CNC tooling from damage that can occur when retrieving or storing tooling. The covers also keep staged tooling clean and ready for fast setup. When reaching in to retrieve tooling, workers arms are protected from being cut, thus minimizing time and costs from accident injuries, the company says.The safety covers are held in place with keyhole slots molded into their base and shoulder bolts installed on the ToolScoot.Carbide Turning Inserts A simple twist releases the cover for tooling retrieving, and another twist locks the cover back in place.

One caveat is that this search for savings often requires a change of thinking. Previously, the injector body manufacturer saw the critical hole as a boring application. The savings came when the company saw it as a reaming application instead. Something similar frequently occurs in milling work, Mr. Edler says. Many facilities can double their metal-removal rate in milling, but Machining Carbide Inserts doing so requires APKT Insert the counterintuitive step of switching to a high-feed milling tool design that mandates a light depth of cut—lighter than what the shop is taking now. Running this tool at  a substantially higher feed rate can more than overcome the lighter cut to save overall cost. In applications such as these, he says, the cost-effective approach often looks very different from the way that a given part or feature has historically been machined.

Designed for the production of homokinetic joints of hardened steel in automotive applications, Mapal’s CPMill ballnose milling cutter has been updated for efficiency in pre-machining (soft milling). Instead of four cutting edges, the updated solid carbide cutter has five, and its highly spiraled geometry ensures optimal chip removal. In addition to the base substrate, the coating has also been improved. The CFS interface eases milling head changes. According to the company, the precise tuning of the taper and face contributes to a concentricity of ≤5 microns, high rigidity and consistent work quality.

The company also says that higher SPMT Insert cutting and feed rates mean machining time with this cutter can be reduced, increasing part production rates by WNMG Insert as much as 12 percent without changing machine capacity or other equipment investments. In addition, the cutter provides a longer service life than the previous model.

Iscar’s Deca IQ Thread is a 5/8" round insert with five double-sided corners, providing 10 Thread Cutting Insert functional cutting edges. The line is designed to boost production, raise quality and reduce costs.

The insert features a positive, free-cutting geometry and is designed to promote accurate edge location and repeatability after corner indexing. The IC908-grade insert can be used in a variety of materials. The toolholders feature coolant channels designed for use with conventional and high-pressure coolant ability.

The coolant channels of the tools feature outlets that are close to the Lathe Carbide Inserts cutting edge, enabling shorter machining time, longer tool life, improved chip control, effective cooling-down of the cutting edge and a more stable process, the company says.

Toolholders are available in a variety of sizes ranging from 0.5" to 1" (12 to 25 mm) to accommodate standard CNC machines as well as the Swiss industry. The front edge of the insert is parallel to the front edge of the toolholder, making it well suited for Swiss machining. According to the company, this enables the threading operation to get closer to the guide bushing, resulting in less vibration and better finishes. The smaller toolholders are also ported in three different locations to accommodate various coolant connections.
