Iscar Releases A Completely New Line Of Slitting Cutters Utilizing Tang-Grip Technology And The Sturdiness Of Sumo Tec Grades
Iscar now offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that incorporate the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the increased sturdiness of the completely new Sumo Tec insert grades.
The conception, already established effective in Tang-Grip parting tools, has now been extended to slitting cutters. In the patented Tang-Grip clamping system, inserts are press-fit into their pockets with a specialized hand tool, and are clutched solidly in place without having the need without requiring clamps, upper jaws or set screws that can weaken the insert and hinder chip flow. The pocket configuration utilizes cutting forces to retain the insert seated tightly in position, eliminating any danger of insert pull-out. The Tang-Grip clamping system also fosters increased accurate slitting cuts plus longer pocket and insert life.
Iscar's Sumo Tec insert grades feature a specialized post-coating treatment which greatly increases tool life and constancy.
Unveiled in late '07, the brand new Sumo Tec treatment flattens the insert's coated surface to dispose of microscopic stress raisers, decrease heat and friction and increase chip flow. The result is improved toughness and resistance to chipping and built-up edge, all leading to enhanced tool lifespan. The golden-colored side on Sumo Tec inserts eases wear detection. Size for size, Tangslit cutters offer more teeth than Iscar's SGSF cutters, permitting higher feed rates.
Their higher rigidity leads to straighter, increased accurate cuts and lowered vibration even in large-diameter cutters. The revolutionary Tangslit TGSF cutters come in 100 to 160 mm diameters, 3 and 4 mm widths and can accept the exact same assortment of inserts as Tang-Grip parting tools. Several other sizes will be added.
Obtainable Sumo Tec grades for Tangslit cutters include:
IC808, with a tough submicron substrate beneath a Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating, delivering outstanding resistance to impact loads and built-up edge. This grade is suggested for slitting heat resistant alloys, austenitic stainless steel, hard alloys and carbon steel.
IC830, offering extra toughness for heavier parting and grooving involving interrupted cuts. It is fitting for every stainless steel and high temperature alloys.
IC908, a hard, fine-grain substrate with superior chipping resistance, combined with a new Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating. It is ideal for nodular or grey cast iron.
IC928 and 928A, PVD TiAlN-coated tough grades suited for stainless steel, high temperature alloys and other alloy steels. These grades are additionally suggested for interrupted cuts and heavy operations.
Each Tangslit and Tang-Grip inserts are found in J- or C-type chipformer geometries from Iscar.
