How to Extend the Service Life of Carbide Inserts?

CBN insertsare cutting tools that useCubic Boron Nitride (CBN)as the cutting edge material. CBN is a synthetic material that is extremely hard and has excellent thermal and chemical stability, making it an ideal material for cutting hard materials such VBMT Insert as hardened steel, cast iron, and superalloys.CBN insertsare commonly used in the machining industry for turning, milling, and boring applications. They are highly valued for their ability to maintain their cutting edge and cutting speed even under high temperatures and high speeds. This results in increased productivity, longer tool life, and improved surface finish of machined parts.CBN insertsare available in a variety of shapes and sizes, and are typically used in high-precision machining applications. They can be used with a variety of cutting fluids, and are suitable for both wet and dry machining. However, they are generally more expensive than other cutting tools, such ascarbide inserts, due to the cost of the CBN material.Related search keywords:CBN Inserts, cbn inserts for stainless steel, cbn inserts for cast iron, cbn DCMT Insert inserts hardness, cbn inserts for sale, cbn inserts materials, cbn cutting inserts, cbn cutter inserts, cbn inserts, cbn insert, cbn inserts for hard turning, cbn grooving inserts, grinding cbn inserts, cbn lathe inserts, cbn milling inserts, solid cbn inserts manufacturers, cbn pcd inserts, cbn vs pcd inserts, cbn round insert, solid cbn inserts, cbn turning inserts, cbn threading inserts, cbn tool inserts

North American Tool Corp. Appoints Director of Sales, Marketing

We tend to focus on the seen instead of the unseen. We focus on the big or urgent things instead of the smaller things. In metalworking, that means we focus on machine tools.

As well we should. A process is defined by its machines. In your own shop, the machine tools determine the parts the shop can take on and the operations it can perform. Machine tools make the shop what it is—sort of.

Actually, there is more to it than that. The machine requires cutting tools. And because this tooling is (relatively speaking) such a small, quiet and consistent part of the process, many shops fail to give their cutting tools ample consideration. The machine is seen as an “investment” while the tool is seen as an “expense.” This very distinction serves to conceal just how far the cutting tool may go in determining what the machine can do.

For a moment, shift your perspective. The process is more than the sum of its machines. deep hole drilling inserts Right here, in the midst of a busy day, shut out the way you might usually think about the shop, so you can briefly see things differently. Imagine all of the cutting edges. That is, imagine all of the edges shearing through all of the workpieces that your shop will machine today. Imagine all of that material removal—this is your process. Your machines get the cutting tools to where they need to be, but the cutting tools are, quite literally, at the leading edge of what you do. And you may not have noticed.

You may not have noticed, because it is easy to fall into the habit of seeing your tools as just a commodity to feed the machines.

If this is too often the view in your shop, then you may have missed a subtle shift. You may have missed the way cutting tools have changed. More rigorous machining requirements and more challenging workpiece materials have slot milling cutters demanded more of tooling, and tooling technology has risen to the challenge. Now, new choices in cutting tools might give your shop capabilities it never expected before—perhaps including the speed to increase capacity by day, or the tool life and reliability to run through the night without an operator.

Three companies hope you will understand this idea better. They are: Diamond Innovations, Precision Dormer and Sandvik Coromant. The companies jointly contributed articles for a special online knowledge center, “The New Rules of Cutting Tools.” Find it at www.mmsonline.com/newrules.

Sometime soon, step back to take a second look at your tools. What are the implications of not using the most effective tooling? You may never know! Plenty of shops get OK performance from OK tools, unaware that a different process built around different tooling might let them do more with their machines than they ever thought they could. If you haven’t reconsidered your cutting tools in a while, you might not know what you are missing.

The Right (Machine) Tool for the Right Job

A new sliding/fixed headstock Swiss-type turning center will show its wide range of capabilities at IMTS 2018, booth 338136. The Traub TNL20 can be equipped to use up to four tools simultaneously for minimum change-over and cycle times even for complex parts. An optional six-axis robot cell integrated in the machine surface milling cutters can load blank shafts or chuck parts. The machine will be of interest to connector and medical manufacturing users.

The TNL20 provides eight stations per tool carrier with three driven tools per station, so up to 24 tools per turret can be deployed with chip-to-chip time of just 0.3 sec.

The TNL20 is available in two versions. The TNL20-9 has nine linear axes, two turrets (each with eight stations, max. 12,000 rpm, 2.0 kW), a back-working attachment (four stations), and an autonomous counterspindle. The TNL20-9 can deploy three tools simultaneously.

The TNL20-11 is equipped with an additional front-working attachment (six stations, three of which are live, max. 12,500 rpm, 2.0 kW) on an autonomous X/Z slide. By the interpolation of the H indexing axis of the front-working attachment with the X axis of the Carbide Drilling Inserts autonomous compound slide, Y-axis machining operations or tool offsets can also be easily performed with the front-working attachment on the main spindle. At this equipment level, it is also possible to cut with up to four tools simultaneously to reduce machining times. The TNL20-11 includes a second upper tool carrier with six stations. Three tool positions are live, and one is equipped with a double holder.

Solid Carbide Drills Improve Chip Flow, Evacuation

Somma Tool Co. offers a new style of broach toolholder designed to be interchangeable with any style of ER collet chuck. The compact, adjustment-free offset rotary toolholder threads onto an existing ER (16, 20, 25 and 32) collet chuck and features a built-in 1-degree wobble cutting edge for offset rotary broaching. This versatile deep hole drilling inserts tube process inserts broaching holder enables the user to swap one holder among different styles of shanks including round, Capto, VDI, Morse, CAT and NMTB taper. The holder reduces the need for toolholder adapter bushings, making it an economical alternative to other broaching systems, the company says.

These rotary broach holders use SommaSiwss broaches with 8-mm diameter shanks and ½" diameter shank broaches. The system is adjustment-free for on-center applications not requiring offset compensation.

What to know about Surface Roughness

Automatic Tool Changers Inc. introduces a complete gravity turning inserts range of economical tool turrets for CNC lathes and turning centers, including replacements for the now-discontinued Dorian turrets used on Haas TL-series lathes. All turrets use a three-piece Hirth tooth coupling for high accuracy and maximum rigidity, enabling turrets to index without the tool carrier lifting. The turrets can be used in any orientation and are totally sealed for use in the most demanding environments.

Disc-type turrets with static tooling are offered in six frame sizes fitted with an electromechanical, hydraulic or servomotor drive train. Turrets with axial- or radial-oriented live tooling are also available in the most popular sizes for either BMT or VDI tooling, standard spindles and toolholders. Square toolpost-type turrets with an electromechanical drive are offered in four basic frame sizes designed for use rod peeling inserts on flatbed lathes and vertical turning lathes.

To simplify the installation, the company also offers an optional self-contained controller that enables automatic, semi-automatic and manual operation.
