The aerospace industry is not only one of the largest consumers of cutting tools but also one of the most important driving factors for cutting tool development.
With the use of network communication, new digital technologies combine physical manufacturing systems with virtual worlds of knowledge and 3D modelling.
Designed to simplify operations and increase manufacturing productivity, integrating this drill into the machining process can reduce machining cycle times by up to 50 %.
The demands for miniature dental and medical components present a specific challenge for cutting tool manufacturers. Iscar has designed tools for this sector.
While solid carbide tools represent the traditional tool choice for small diameters, today's indexable tools present several advantages over one-piece solid tools. The manufacturer Iscar offers various indexable insert options for these applications.
With the new Logiq tool lines, Iscar wanted to address future requirements in tools, taking into account that the processes of the future will be automated and digitised. For the company, the Logiq tools are a logical step towards optimised production.
Compared to other materials, aluminium is rather simple to machine. At least it seems much more effortless than steel, for example. Nevertheless, there are several mistakes that can be made when machining this material, including the choice of the wrong tool, that impact productivity.
