Milling processing in the metal processing industry (2)

Plung milling cutter

Each blade has four cutting edges for good economics. The geometric shape of the positive rake blade reduces the cutting force and increases the feed rate. Coolant is delivered through interchangeable cooling nozzles, 9 different types of nozzles for most machines, and global milling product manager, Dennis McNamara believes: "These cutters reduce the cost per blade."

Kennametal's new Hanita AluSurf solid carbide end mill will also be launched at IMTS, said Steve Abrams, senior product manager. “This is a new generation of high-performance aluminum alloy finishing products.” Aluminum processing for most It is easy for the customer and the metal removal rate is high. However, if finishing is required, it still takes a lot of time to remove the surface material to the final shape. Abrams said: “The AluSurf milling cutter is designed for maximum removal rates, which completes surface finishing and reduces finishing steps.”

Seco: A comprehensive high feed milling solution

High feed milling (HFM) methods can be considered when you need to cut as much metal as possible in the shortest possible time period. High feed milling is fundamentally a roughing method developed for high metal removal rates to increase productivity and save machining time. Combine a shallow depth of cut (no more than 2 mm) with a large cutting arc radius or a small lead angle to direct the cutting force toward the axial machine tool spindle. Axial cutting forces exhibit better tool stability due to reduced vibration, which in turn increases feed rate - sometimes it can achieve 10 times normal feed rate. Although high-feed milling is fundamentally a roughing method, it is still possible to achieve a roughly accurate shape, which means that semi-finishing is becoming a thing that has nothing to do with it. In many cases, skipping semi-finishing and finishing directly will be feasible. What is the bottom line? Cut more metal to speed up and maximize your productivity. Seco Tools has the widest range of high-quality, high-feed milling cutters on the market, covering a wide range of diameters – from 1mm to 208mm – and a wide range of applications. Filter

In helical interpolation applications, the high feed milling method is a very suitable solution for large aperture machining because pre-machining and pre-drilling can be skipped. The high feed tool has minimal contact with the machined side sections. Compared with the traditional milling cutter with 90 degree lead angle, the advantage is that it can obtain more stable processing.

High feed milling methods are equally efficient in pocket milling, especially in the field of molds. As in profile milling, the application determines the required tool diameter. This is also chosen according to the size and rigidity of the workpiece. Profiling with high feed milling is also very practical when machining uneven surfaces.
