ITC will also exhibit the exciting new range of Hanita carbide roughing cutters.
The 4976 series can machine hardened steels at speeds ranging up to 200m/min.
It provides a performance improvement of up to 200% whilst giving a surface finish of 63 micron Ra.
Its AlTiN coating reduces friction and improves lubrication, enabling it to cut under wet and dry conditions on difficult to cut materials.
Other products on show will be the Hanita miniature rib milling cutters.
The square and ball nosed end mills cut graphite and steels hardened to 60 Rockwell C at speeds up to 150m/min.
The four series in the range all come with the option of high quality TiAIN for machining hard materials or a Diamond like Coating (DLC) specifically for machining graphite, aluminium and materials with a high silicone content.
ITC will also exhibit the new range of Hanita 'Vision' end mills.
It has been designed to increase tool life while machining steels hardened up to 67 Rockwell C at speeds ranging up to 200m/min and provides a performance improvement of up to 200%.
ITC is the sole UK agent and stockist of the Hanita range.
To accompany the impressive range of cutting tools, ITC will also exhibit a complete range of 70+ air turbine tools from Air Turbine Technologies (ATT).
The infinitely flexible range of lightweight tools includes products with spindle speeds ranging from 20,000 to 65,000 rev/min.
The tools can be used for grinding, deburring, finishing, mouldmaking, CNC machining, drilling, robotics, etching and a host of other applications on materials ranging from wood, plastic, rubber and stone through to wrought iron, cast materials and exotic alloys.
The turbine tools are all gearless and contain a friction free motor with fewer moving parts to ensure a 30% saving on compressed air consumption and minimal noise levels and vibration during operation.
The air turbine tools are supplied with a 3 or 6mm collet, collet wrenches and air supply fittings.
Vast quantities of all products are held in stock and the exhibition will be the ideal platform for ITC to demonstrate the capabilities of the extensive product range.
Please take the opportunity to visit Stand D35 where a technical member of staff will be more than happy to assist you.
