Cutting: Manufacturer, reports, information at INDUSTRIAL Production

Three-edged replaceable head drilling system

Feed force significantly increased

With the Logiq 3 CHAM, Iscar is offering its new three-edged replaceable head system. Compared to conventional drilling tools with two cutting edges, it is said to enable up to 100 percent higher feed rates.

Simufact Additive 2020

Now with cost estimate

With the Simufact Additive 2020 release, Simufact is expanding the scope of the software beyond manufacturing simulation. Users can now also assess the costs of the printing process.

Micro waterjet cutting

Waterjet cutting - feasibility and limits

As waterjet cutting works "cold", it is particularly suitable for sensitive materials such as stainless steel, plastics or composites. As an alternative to systems for industrial applications with less stringent tolerance requirements, a micro waterjet cutting technology has been developed that can meet higher accuracy requirements, for example in micromechanics.

Micro water jet cutting

Closing the gap between electrical discharge machining and microlasers

The fine abrasive waterjet process (FAWJ) is suitable for making precise cuts in hard materials with high precision. The NCM 10 Micro from Water Jet Sweden meets the accuracy specifications for this process.

Tool development

Development of a short-hole drill

It is difficult to develop an indexable insert drill that can drill holes with depths of up to 7×D in a single operation without deflection or chip jams. This is mainly because the extension of a drill results in the drill being bent or deflected disproportionately. A fundamental rethink was necessary with regard to the design and production of drill bodies and indexable inserts.

Additive manufacturing optimizes tools

Honeycomb structure makes bell mold lighter

Mapal has used the selective laser melting process to reduce the weight of its bell tool with brazed PCD cutting edges.

Gear manufacturing

Gearbox construction for electric vehicles

With electromobility, car manufacturers are confronted with a structural change. They have to convert their production lines to predominantly EV models. However, the transmission systems for electric vehicles have their very own requirements and call for new tools.

Solid carbide milling cutter

For titanium machining

The MonsterMill TCR solid carbide milling cutter from Ceratizit was specially developed for machining titanium in the aerospace and medical technology sectors.

Multitasking machines

Joint multitasking

A tool that can do everything: What would it be like to pack cutting, grinding, additive laser deposition welding and laser hardening into just one machine? Okuma and Trumpf show how it can be done.
