PCD inserts feature high speed face-mill

For the economical high speed machining of non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, aluminium-alloys and copper, a range of face-mills holds three to 20 PCD inserts.

Guhring's PF 1000 face milling cutter, introduced at EMO 2005, is the ideal tool for economical high speed machining of non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, aluminium-alloys and copper.

The face milling cutter is available in diameters from 63 to 250mm and holds three to 20 PCD milling inserts.

For the PF 1000 face milling cutter to satisfy the extreme demands of HSC, Guhring has developed several leading technical innovations.

They include the following: * Utility patented wedge clamping - the positive fit of the utility patented wedge clamping guarantees a secure clamping of the PCD milling insert even at extreme speeds and therefore above average milling quality and performance.

* Integrated chip deflectors - the steel chip deflectors integrated in the clamping wedge provide optimal protection for the milling body and guarantee extremely long tool life.

* Integrated threads for PCD milling inserts - the threads for locating the PCD milling inserts are integrated in the clamping wedges.

Therefore, clamping threads are not required in the milling body, uneven clamping through the wedging effect no longer occurs.

The internal screwhead reduces the centrifugal forces and concentrates the mass near the rotational axis.

* Innovative clamping screw location - the utility patented steel ring for locating the clamping screws is shrunk into the milling body and provides the milling cutter with exceptional rigidity allowing extremely high maximum revolutions, for example 25,430 rev/min.

for a diameter of 100mm.
