New Slitting Cutter
August 1, 2014
New Blaxx mill from Walter provides process reliability and high performance.
Blaxx F5055 slitting cutter from Walter is the latest addition to its Blaxx family of milling cutters. Its concentric and axial run-out values of the F5055 cutter body are designed to keep vibration to a minimum. The mill incorporates similar technology to the Walter Cut SX grooving system which is based on self-gripping, form-locking indexable inserts designed to provide ideal cutting force for the tool.
According to the company, the productivity of the F5055 is enhanced by Walter's Tiger·tec Silver cutting tool material. This material is currently available in two grades, WSM33S and WSP43S, and in three insert geometries. The stable CE4 geometry is engineered for medium to high feed rates and applications with good chip removal, the universal SF5 for most materials and low to medium feed rates and the easy-cutting CF6 for good machining conditions and low feed rates or for non-ferrous metals. Walter supplies the F5055 in diameters of 63 to 250 mm for insert widths of 2.0 to 4.0 mm.
"The F5055 is designed for cast-iron, steel and stainless steel components. It can also handle materials with difficult cutting properties, making it suitable for the aerospace industry, where the production of large volumes of the highest quality components, typically made from difficult-to-cut material, demands tools with exceptional reliability," said a company spokesperson.
Walter, has experience in precision cutting tools for milling, drilling, turning, boring and specialized tools and helps customers improve process reliability and increase productivity.
