Citizen Technology Prolongs Tool Life and Reduces Problems Caused by Chips

Low Frequency Vibration (LFV) is a new, widely applicable cutting technology from Citizen that is designed to avoid the problem of spiraling chips, entanglement of chips and built-up edges.

"Available on CINCOM machines, this technology can handle a broad range of machining shapes and materials and is ideal for cutting difficult-to-cut materials while delivering increased throughput and improved part accuracy," said a company spokesperson. "Benefits include increased cutting tool life, reduced heat generation and reduced power consumption."

Depending on the material being cut, a variety of problems can be caused by chips getting entangled with each other, including increased cutting resistance, scarring, changes in the texture of the machined surface, tool nose damage and built-up edges due to cutting heat. In LFV cutting, "air cutting" time prevents the machining temperature from rising, which prolongs tool life and gives relief from various problems caused by chips.

MCC is headquartered in Allendale, NJ, with additional sales-service offices in California, Massachusetts and Illinois. These four offices support a network of full service distributors located throughout North America.
