Tungaloy Corporation has announced the expansion of its TungSpeed-Mill series, introducing small-diameter, extra close pitch cutters. The new lineup includes o40 (z=8), o50 (z=10), and o63 (z=14) bore-type cutters with industry-leading tooth counts for enhanced productivity. Additionally, the lightweight o100,125 steel body, featuring a unique design for strength and rigidity, enables compatibility with smaller machines like BT30, offering versatile and efficient machining solutions.
"In recent years, the automotive and general industrial machinery sectors have increasingly demanded higher machining speeds and precision," said a company spokesperson. "This is particularly important in the machining of valve bodies, aluminum alloy cases and pneumatic equipment cases, where efficiency has become a key focus. However, conventional small-diameter cutters face the challenge of having fewer cutting edges, making it difficult to achieve high-efficiency machining. Additionally, when using BT30 machines, weight limitations on tools often prevent the use of large-diameter cutters, posing an additional challenge. Furthermore, lightweight cutters with aluminum bodies often lack the rigidity and strength of steel-bodied cutters. To address these challenges, there is growing demand for a cutter that combines greater efficiency, lightweight construction and the necessary strength."
TungSpeed-Mill is a high-efficiency tool engineered for machining aluminum alloy components such as aircraft and automotive parts, as well as electronic enclosures. Available in diameters ranging from 40 mm to 160 mm, it features up to 34 cutting edges and enables cutting speeds exceeding 3,000 m/min for aluminum alloys and nonferrous alloys.
Features and benefits:
- The extra close pitch design enhances machining efficiency.
- By utilizing an extra-close pitch cutter, machining time is reduced, leading to increased productivity.
- The large number of inserts distributes cutting resistance, enabling more stable machining.
- The lightweight design maintains strength and rigidity while reducing weight.
- The lightweight body allows for smooth operation even on smaller machines, such as BT30, making it compatible with a wide range of equipment.
- A tooling weight (including arbor) of 3 kg or less was achieved, staying within the ATC limit for BT30 compact machines.
