Additional small and large diameters for
KOMET ® Quatron hi.feed milling cutters
Continuous drilling and plunge milling with
Quatron indexable inserts
The KOMET GROUP first introduced the KOMET ® Quatron
hi.feed milling cutters a year ago. The product range has been
such a success that KOMET ® is extending its range of diameters
in time for AMB 2010.
KOMET ® Quatron hi.feed milling cutters enable continuous drilling
and plunge milling with just one tool. A distinctive feature of this tool
variant is the four-edged indexable inserts of the
KOMET KUB Quatron ® . In addition to the number of cutting edges,
the tool is characterised by its capacity when it comes to continuous
drilling. Users have been particularly impressed by the fast removal of
large quantities of cut metal. In addition, Quatron indexable inserts can
also cut radially,which means that they offer considerably more flexibility
than two- or three-edged inserts during plunge milling and excavation.
When milling with an axial and horizontal feed, a variety of diameters
and complex contours can be achieved during a roughing procedure.
The same indexable inserts are used for continuous drilling and
milling.
With a diameter range of 25 to 42 millimetres, the milling cutters from
KOMET ® have already earned an excellent reputation. A smaller design
with a 20mm diameter and a larger design with a 52mm diameter
are set to be introduced. Additionally, the existing 42mm version with
four teeth is being supplemented by a version with five teeth. The new
52mm tool is fitted with six teeth.
Gentle processing
Plunge milling, also known as plunging, is particularly well suited to
cutting deep grooves and large cavities. It is a preferred processing
technique because of the long projection lengths and high cutting capacity
of the tools. Plunge milling is also ideal for unstable spindle
conditions. This processing technique also saves the spindle by exerting
less stress. Milling with an axial and horizontal feed eliminates the
need for boring with several drilling tools. A further advantage is presented
by the Quatron indexable inserts. With four cutting edges per
insert, production costs are reduced. The successful BK8425 coating
also guarantees a longer tool life. The tough substrate allows universal
use of the screw-on milling cutters for steel, cast iron and stainless
materials.
The KOMET GROUP, incorporating the KOMET ® , DIHART ® and
JEL ® brands, is a leading global manufacturer of high-precision tools
for bore machining, reaming and threading. For more than 90 years,
the Group has been at the forefront of innovations within the industry:
