High-Feed Milling Cutter with Anti-Vibration Design
May 1, 2014
Kyocera Industrial Ceramics Corporation, Cutting Tool Division has introduced its new MFH-Raptor high feed milling cutter, which features an anti-vibration design for increased productivity in ramping and helical milling at high speeds.
The MFH-Raptor offers a variety of cutting options with three different inserts designed specifically to enhance general milling, support large depth-of-cut operations (up to 5 mm) and to provide a wiper edge for roughing and finishing, even in low-horsepower machining centers. This state-of-the-art cutting tool offers a convex helical edge design to reduce cutting forces during initial workpiece contact. The MFH-Raptor is ideal for a wide application range including face milling and shouldering, slotting, ramping, helical milling and plunging.
"The MFH-Raptor is Kyocera's first high-feed milling tool, and is being introduced in response to heavy market demand," said a company spokesperson. "It rounds out Kyocera's comprehensive product line of cutting tools to meet diverse manufacturing challenges. Inserts for the MFH-Raptor come in new grades for difficult-to-cut materials, providing stability to help prevent insert fracturing and ensure high-efficiency machining."
- The CA6535 insert is designed for Ni-base heat-resistant alloys and martensitic stainless steel. It provides high heat- and wear-resistance with improved stability through the use of Kyocera's thin-film CVD coating technology.
- The PR1535 insert is designed for titanium alloys and precipitation-hardened stainless steel. Kyocera's proprietary MEGACOAT NANO coating technology is intended to give these inserts improved stability and longer tool life in milling applications.
- The MFH face mill and endmill both offer coolant holes for use in machining high-temperature alloys or improving surface roughness.
