Micro tooling system speeds up auto lathe changes
Quick-change tooling system for automatic lathes, featured in the "Micro Machining Tools" catalogue, has achieved time savings of up to 40% and can be used in turning and boring operations.
Modular drill can be changed in the machine
Modular high-performance drill, that can be changed while in the machine, adds value by reducing machining time and down-time in drilling operations.
It can be used in dry as well as in wet operations.
The new KC915M grade is used for light to medium machining of grey and nodular cast iron.
Both carbide grades stand out by virtue of particularly high reliability and consistant performance, combined with exceptional cutting speed, even under the toughest conditions.
KC935M and KC915M demonstrate increased heat resistance without any loss of cutting edge stability.
This is achieved by combining the further-developed substrate with the new Kennametal MTCVD multilayer coating.
The new MTCVD coating process improves adhesion with the substrate and guarantees better and more even layer build-up with the same coating thickness.
Quality is additionally improved by further post coating treatment to produce smoother surfaces, permitting problem-free chip removal.
The main area of application for the new TN2510 coated carbide grade is in the light to medium machining of hot working steels, stellites and cast iron up to 64 HRC.
TN2510 is versatile in use - even under unfavourable conditions such as large overhangs.
Excellent wear resistance and cutting edge stability guarantee production reliability and cost-efficiency at high cutting speeds and feeds in demanding machining operations.
