Vegetable-based system eliminates 'trich'
APW, a specialist manufacturer of electronics enclosures and sub-systems, has eliminated the use of trichloethylene at its Chandlers Ford, Hampshire, factory.
Toolholders consist of 20mm x 20mm square section shanks with integral insert support blades.
They are machined from solid high alloy steel and heat-treated to 50HRC hardness to produce exceptionally high strength and rigidity.
Inserts are held positively in position by a flush-fitting spring-loaded mechanical top clamp which also provides good access for lubricant and assists swarf removal.
The new NDC inserts developed for the ACT2.2 face-grooving system have a 10deg positive top rake geometry which reduces the width of the swarf to ensure it exits freely from the groove.
The choice available includes an advanced sub-micron grade in coated and uncoated versions for machining particularly difficult materials.
