Iscar Announces A Completely New Family Of Slitting Cutters Applying Tang-Grip Technology And The Strength Of Sumo Tec Grades
Iscar at this time offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that incorporate the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the added durability of the revolutionary Sumo Tec insert grades.
The concept, already demonstrated effective in Tang-Grip parting tools, has now been extended to slitting cutters. In the patented Tang-Grip clamping system, inserts are press-fit into their pockets with a distinct hand tool, and are gripped firmly in place without having the need for clamps, upper jaws or set screws that can weaken the insert and obstruct chip flow. The pocket configuration uses cutting forces to keep the insert seated firmly in position, eliminating any danger of insert pull-out. The Tang-Grip clamping system also fosters more accurate slitting cuts plus longer pocket and insert life.
Iscar's Sumo Tec insert grades showcase a specific post-coating treatment which greatly improves tool life and constancy.
Unveiled in late 2007, the unique Sumo Tec treatment flattens the insert's coated surface to dispose of microscopic stress raisers, diminish heat and friction and boost chip flow. The result is enhanced toughness and opposition to chipping and built-up edge, all leading to longer tool lifespan. The golden-colored side on Sumo Tec inserts aides wear detection. Size for size, Tangslit cutters offer more teeth than Iscar's SGSF cutters, providing higher feed rates.
Their greater rigidity leads to straighter, more accurate cuts and diminished vibration even in large-diameter cutters. The brand new Tangslit TGSF cutters come in 100 to 160 mm diameters, 3 and 4 mm widths and can accommodate the exact same variety of inserts as Tang-Grip parting tools. Several other sizes will be added.
Available Sumo Tec grades for Tangslit cutters include:
IC808, with a tough submicron substrate beneath a Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating, giving remarkable resistance to impact loads and built-up edge. This grade is suggested for slitting heat resistant alloys, austenitic stainless steel, hard alloys and carbon steel.
IC830, presenting extra toughness for heavier parting & grooving including interrupted cuts. It is appropriate for all stainless steel and high temperature alloys.
IC908, a hard, fine-grain substrate with outstanding chipping resistance, joined with a brand new Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating. It is ideal for nodular or gray cast iron.
IC928 and 928A, PVD TiAlN-coated tough grades suitable for stainless steel, high temperature alloys and other alloy steels. These grades are also favored for interrupted cuts and heavy operations.
Every Tangslit and Tang-Grip inserts are presented in J- or C-type chipformer geometries from Iscar.
