Iscar is starting a completely new unique milling system using tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has considerable advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has numerous cutting edges, positive rake face, lowered cutting forces resulting in better performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the edge of a variety of milling cutter types, providing optimum conditions also for heavy-duty applications with remarkable surface quality, saving further finishing operations. Cutters are available for 90 degree shoulder milling and for facing with 45 degree lead angles.

Each carbide insert possesses 8 cutting edges, four for right-hand and 4 for left-hand cutting, upgrading the economy of use. The two, toward-center-slanted cutting edges supply on one side strong and dependable clamping of insert in the tool body, and on the other side, the positive axial rake angle. The usability of this positive axial rake design decreases the cutting forces owing to softer cut and easier penetration into the metal, as well as changing force direction which is critical for use on modernized machining centers with pallet systems less solid than on the conventional transfer lines.

In standard applications like in the auto industry, the depth-of-cut is less than thirty thousandths of an inch enabling the use of all eight cutting edges of the Tangmill carbide inserts. Furthermore, in the auto industry it is popular to use a pair of cutters, one for right- and one for left-handed operations, which means that all eight cutting edges of the Tangmill inserts can be implemented.

New ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal

Contemporary progress coming from the headquarters of Iscar, delivering the new Upgrade campaign, which guarantees that they are looking to the future. The new Upgrade campaign, scheduled to be distributed at the end of year 2008, will offer cutting edge tools for milling, turning, hole making and multifunction applications, complementing the FMR (Fast Metal Removal) tool families with one aim in mind - to improve productivity on the shop floor and to raise profits.

Iscar's focal point for this year, with no doubt, are the new coatings, new substrate compositions, new cutting edge geometries, new sizes, new tangential clamping mechanisms and new coolant nozzle characteristics. Iscar's future trends incorporate new carbide insert grades for efficient and time-saving machining, more cutting edges for each insert and superior tangential clamping systems which can significantly lessen the cutting strain. The induction of the AL-TEC, PVD coating chiefly for nodular cast iron, a-TECH, CVD coating mainly for grey cast iron and the DO-TECH, dual CVD PVD coating for upgraded strength will transform the way industry machines cast iron. In addition, Iscar manufacturing mini inserts is an alternate trend within the Upgrade movement, referring to minimizing the sizes of the Tangmill carbide inserts into Minitang, in order to facilitate fine pitch configuration which will quicken feed rates. In addition, the nominal size of the carbide inserts and their tangential orientation in the pockets permit a much greater core diameter, in terms of tool configuration, when compared to standard radially positioned inserts.

Iscar Offers A Completely New Line Of Slitting Cutters Using Tang-Grip Technology And The Durability 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.

Some Improvements Have Expanded Iscar's Line Of Indexable Endmills For Increased 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 Highway Industry With Calibrated Measuring Instruments. Stress Load Testing Methods For On Site Documentation To Testing Demands.
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.

New End Mills By Iscar Will Amplify Productivity While Shrinking 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.

Completely New Cutters And Carbide Insert Compositions From Iscar To Better 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.

The Newest In Carbide Endmill Designs In A Extended And Successful Line From Iscar
Manufacturers and die & mold shops can eliminate chatter problems in many milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree endmills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eliminates harmonic vibration, the main source of chatter. This enables faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling.
