Iscar is adding a new unique milling system with tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has noteworthy advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has additional cutting edges, positive rake face, reduced cutting forces resulting in better performance. The carbide inserts are screw-clamped on the periphery of numerous milling cutter types, providing prime conditions also for heavy-duty applications with fantastic surface quality, saving several other finishing operations. Cutters are available for 90 degree shoulder milling and for facing with 45 degree lead angles.

Each carbide insert includes eight cutting edges, four for right-hand and four for left-hand cutting, increasing the economy of use. The two, toward-center-slanted cutting edges provide on one side strong and accurate clamping of insert in the tool body, and on the other side, the positive axial rake angle. The usefulness of this positive axial rake design decreases the cutting forces owed to softer cut and easier penetration into the material, as well as changing force direction which is critical for use on modern machining centers with pallet systems less firm than on the traditional 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 common 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 used.

New ISCAR UPGRADES for Fast Metal Removal

New developments 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 made public at the end of year 2008, will offer new tools for milling, turning, hole making and multifunction applications, complementing the FMR (Fast Metal Removal) tool families with one aim in mind - to increase productivity on the shop floor and to increase profits.

Iscar's feature 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 functionality. Iscar's future trends incorporate new carbide insert grades for efficient and time-saving machining, more cutting edges per insert and superior tangential clamping mechanisms which will significantly decrease the cutting strain. The launching of the AL-TEC, PVD coating mainly for nodular cast iron, a-TECH, CVD coating mainly for grey cast iron and the DO-TECH, dual CVD PVD coating for refined strength will revolutionize the way industry machines cast iron. Furthermore, Iscar offering mini inserts is a different 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 small size of the carbide inserts and their tangential location in the pockets enable a much bigger core diameter, in terms of tool design, when compared to ordinary radially positioned inserts.

The Latest In Carbide Endmill Architectures In A Extended And Prospering 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.

Iscar Recently Made Public Many Brand New Lines To Extend Their Family Of Milling Cutters
Iscar recently released a new family of High Speed Milling adjustable endmills and facemills that will improve milling of aluminum, non-metallics, cast iron and hardened steel. This should prove especially useful in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Some Improvements Have Extended Iscar's Families Of Indexable Endmills For Expanded 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.

Revolutionary End Mills Coming From Iscar Can Boost Productivity While Cutting Down 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.
