EMUGE-FRANKEN USA has significantly expanded its line of end mills, adding nearly 2,500 new tools for a total of over 6,000 end mills now available as standard offerings.
"We are committed to providing our North American customers with an extensive range of high-performance solid carbide end mills to best suit their applications," said Craig Gosselin, Milling Product Manager. "Ever since its foundation, Franken, as part of the EMUGE-FRANKEN Company, has been developing and manufacturing high precision milling tools in Germany. Also, end mill manufacturing is now being expanded at EMUGE FRANKEN USA headquarters in West Boylston, MA, where its TOP-Cut VAR line and Chamfer Mills are made."
The extensive portfolio of EMUGE-FRANKEN end mills includes 11 tool categories that were expanded to address an even greater range of milling requirements. The following details the significantly expanded lines and new tool types:
- A versatile variable helix carbide tool solution, TOP-Cut VAR end mills have increased three-fold to comprise over 1,200 tools, which are manufactured in the USA to stringent EMUGE-FRANKEN Germany specifications.
"Featuring unique geometry and coating, TOP-Cut VAR end mills are as effective in multiple job shop applications as they are in challenging production cutting operations," said a company spokesperson.
The TOP-Cut VAR line is now available in 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-flute configurations, with or without corner radius, and ball nose, stub, standard and long length inch sizes. In addition, EMUGE-FRANKEN USA can provide custom variations or tool modifications of TOP-Cut VAR mills.
- TOP-Cut Metric end mill line has been expanded for universal milling in roughing and finishing operations, including 2-, 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-8 flute configurations, with or without corner radius, and ball nose, mold and die, torus and coolant-fed types.
- Solid carbide chamfer mills are now available in an increased range of helical types as well as new engraving and counter sinking tools. For optimum performance, chamfer mills are used in a milling pass and not as a plunging tool to quickly mill linear chamfer angles and create chamfer angles for threaded holes.
- New Cera-Cut end mills are premium ceramic milling cutters developed for machining heat-resistant super alloys, combining EMUGE-FRANKEN's Duplex geometry and brazed ceramic head design to reduce machining time on high nickel alloys.
- New high-precision skiving tools are designed for skiving which combines gear hobbing and gear shaping for internal and external gears, splines and more.
Coinciding with the end mill line expansion, EMUGE is offering a new, comprehensive 240-page Catalog No. 430 that provides details and specifications about EMUGE-FRANKEN high-performance, solid carbide end mill solutions with illustrations, technical drawings, product descriptions, cutting data and technical information. The new print catalog is free by request.
EMUGE-FRANKEN tooling experts are also available to help guide manufacturers through the tool selection process in further detail if necessary.
