Iscar Releases A Revolutionary Family Of Slitting Cutters Applying Tang-Grip Technology And The Sturdiness Of Sumo Tec Grades


Chocolate Truth eBook
Iscar at this time offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that join the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the increased sturdiness of the completely new Sumo Tec insert grades.

The conception, already validated successful in Tang-Grip parting tools, has now been extended to slitting cutters. In the patented Tang-Grip clamping system, inserts are press-fit into their pockets accompanied by a distinct hand tool, and are gripped tightly in place without having the need without requiring clamps, upper jaws or set screws that can weaken the insert and obstruct chip flow. The pocket composition uses cutting forces to keep the insert seated tightly in position, preventing any chance of insert pull-out. The Tang-Grip clamping system also fosters increased accurate slitting cuts plus increased pocket and insert lifespan.

Iscar's Sumo Tec insert grades showcase a distinct post-coating treatment which considerably improves tool life and dependability.

Unveiled in late '07, the completely new Sumo Tec treatment flattens the insert's coated surface to dispose of microscopic stress raisers, diminish heat and friction and boost chip flow. The result is improved toughness and resistance to chipping and built-up edge, all leading to greater tool lifespan. The golden-colored flank on Sumo Tec inserts aides wear detection. Size for size, Tangslit cutters give more teeth than Iscar's SGSF cutters, permitting higher feed rates.

Their increased rigidity leads to straighter, better accurate cuts and diminished vibration even in large-diameter cutters. The new Tangslit TGSF cutters come in 100 to 160 mm diameters, 3 and 4 mm widths and can accept the exact same assortment of inserts as Tang-Grip parting tools. Several other sizes will be added.

Existing Sumo Tec grades for Tangslit cutters include:
IC808, with a tough submicron substrate below a Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating, providing exceptional resistance to impact loads and built-up edge. This grade is suggested for slitting heat resistant alloys, austenitic stainless steel, hard alloys and carbon steel.

IC830, providing increased toughness for heavier parting & grooving involving interrupted cuts. It is suited for any stainless steel & high temperature alloys.

IC908, a hard, fine-grain substrate with superior chipping resistance, mixed with a new Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating. It is ideal for nodular or grey cast iron.

IC928 and 928A, PVD TiAlN-coated tough grades suited for stainless steel, high temperature alloys and other alloy steels. These grades are additionally suggested for interrupted cuts and heavy operations.

Each Tangslit and Tang-Grip inserts are attainable in J- or C-type chipformer geometries from Iscar.

Iscar Recently Made Public Many Brand New Lines To Increase Their Family Of Milling Tools
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.

A Couple Of The Countless Advancements In Carbide Inserts By Iscar
Iscar is introducing a new unique milling system with tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has significant advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has more cutting edges, positive rake face, reduced cutting forces resulting in higher performance.

Some Advancements Have Enlarged Iscar's Line 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.

New Cutters And Carbide Insert Configurations From Iscar To Better Maximize 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.

Revolutionary End Mills By Iscar Will Amplify Productivity While Decreasing 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.
