A complete range of drilling tools for diameters from 0.3 mm (.0118") to 6 mm (.236") and up to drilling depth 50 x d
New and unique: CrazyMill Cool Ballmill with integrated cooling for high performance and high speed cutting. Diameter range from 0.3 mm to 8 mm (.0118" to .315")
Mikron Tool, a Swiss manufacturer of small carbide cutting tools, has expanded its offerings for the machining of stainless materials.
Since these materials are not easy to machine, Mikron Tool, when developing these tools considered their specific characteristics such as poor heat conductivity, tough and elastic material and long chips. "The central theme to reach an efficient solution is the cooling. Whenever possible this factor has been considered in the development effort in conjunction with the tool geometry," said a company spokesperson.
Already available is a family of small drills in the diameter range up to 2 mm as well as small milling cutters of 0.3 to 6 mm (.0118" to .236"). The offering is expanding to include new drilling and milling tools.
CrazyDrill SST Inox, a small drill for bore diameters from 0.3 to 2 mm (.0118" to .079") and for drilling depths up to 12 x d is adapted for the difficult characteristics of stainless materials. It has the corresponding tip configuration and a digressive flute facilitating a good chip break and swift chip evacuation. "The user is guaranteed to have a maximum process safety when machining. The performance is also `crazy': compared to traditional drills, two times higher speeds and feeds are possible with depths up to 1x d," said the spokesperson.
A second version of the drill has coolant channels integrated in the shank. This results in a longer tool life and features up to 30% higher feed and speed rates.
CrazyDrill Flex SST-Inox, the new Micro Deep Hole Drill that is part of the CrazyDrill Flex family that was up to now only sold for steel and titanium, is now available in the diameter range of 0.3 to 1.2 mm (.0118" to .047") for stainless steel materials. This new tool makes deep holes of up to 50 x d possible in stainless, acid and heat resistant materials. The drill also features the special geometry with digressive flutes as well as the cooling with its coolant channels integrated in the shaft.
CrazyDrill Pilot SST-Inox is a complement to the above featured carbide drills. This pilot drill has coolant channels which are integrated in the shank. The digressive flutes and chip removal feature produce short chips and evacuates them quickly and reliably. All dimensions are in tune with the large drills, the diameters are ground so that there is no step between the pilot hole and the long bore. An additional advantage: simultaneous with the pilot bore a chamfer of 90° can be made. Hence the use of an additional tool becomes redundant.
CrazyDrill Cool SST-Inox will have its American premiere at the IMTS. "The small drill for stainless steels in the diameter range of 1 mm up to 6 mm (.039" to .236") distinguishes itself with the internal spiral coolant channels which bring cooling to the drill tip and thus guarantee a constant coolant stream during the entire drilling process," said the spokesperson. These cooling channels have their form designed so that an overheating of the cutting edges even in smallest diameters is prevented. This in turn allows drilling to the full depth of 10 x d in one thrust, without pecking.
CrazyDrill Coolpilot is the complimentary pilot drill for the CrazyDrill Cool SST-Inox. It also features the spiralized, internal coolant channels up to the tip and is available in the diameter range of 1 to 6 mm, with the tolerances in tune with the long drills, which can prevents steps if the two tools are being used in conjunction.
CrazyMill Cool Ballmill complements the high performance small milling cutters and will be presented the first time at IMTS 2016. A geometry designed for tough and elastic materials and the cooling integrated in the shank are the specific characteristics of this carbide full radius mill. Available in the diameter range of 0.3 up to 8 mm (.0118" to .315") and for maximum milling depths of 5 d., the tool features high speed and feed velocities with a depth of cut 1 x d depending whether it is used for roughing or finishing. "Ten to 15 times higher chip removal rates are possible compared to other conventional milling cutters," said the spokesperson.
