ISCAR has expanded its range of SWISSTURN square shank toolholders by adding new tools for high-pressure coolant and also tools without the internal coolant feature.
The new tools were designed for Swiss-type automatics and CNC machines. They include tools for ISO standard screw-clamped and lever-lock rhombic 80° (C-type), 55° (D-type) and 35° (V-type) inserts, all with 7° positive flank relief inclination.
Due to the confined space and tight arrangement of the tools inside Swiss-type machines, the SWISSTURN tools feature small shank sizes with insert cutting edges in line with the shank (f=b) to avoid collision.
The Swiss-type automatics and CNC machines are used in medical, aerospace, automotive, electronics and general metalworking and for machining complex, precision parts with a length to diameter ratio that is subject to deflection in the turning process.
The new tools can be used for longitudinal, face and profiling applications on small diameter parts.
JHP Tools with Coolant Holes for High-Pressure Coolant
"The use of high-pressure coolant is growing as manufacturers are looking for ways to reduce cutting time, improve machining process reliability and achieve longer tool life," said a company spokesperson. "ISCAR's new JHP tools provide all of these advantages.
"Shorter chips are easily managed and do not tangle around the workpiece or machine parts, so there is no need to stop the process frequently.
"Usually, in conventional cooling, the chip prevents the coolant from reaching the insert rake face in the cutting zone. The coolant stream of the JHP tools is directed precisely between the insert rake face and the flowing chip. This results in longer tool life and a much more reliable process."
Iscar reported the following features:
- Effective cooling down of the cutting edge, which reduces sensitivity to heat fluctuations
- Safer and more stable process
- Higher cutting speeds
- Effective chip control on problematic materials
- Up to 100% increased tool life when machining titanium, heat resistant alloys and alloy steel 10.
