Throughout the years, the HELIMILL milling line is recognized as a highly efficient milling solution. To increase market share in milling, ISCAR is introducing an economical version of the most popular items under the FLASH-HELI brand name.

The new FLASH-HELI tool body can be identified by its blackened surface treatment, which differs from ISCAR’s standard HARD TOUCH coated tools.

FLASH-HELI price policy:

• Inserts: 25-30% lower than the price of the HELIMILL inserts
• Tools: 20% lower than the price of the HELIMILL tools

We are confident that the FLASH-HELI economical basic milling line will further increase ISCAR’s market share, especially for small to medium size customers where the price is the most important factor.

New Tool Holder Systems for Turning Lathes and Multi-Spindle Machine Tools Carrying ISCAR’s MODULAR-GRIP Adapters Featuring Directed Internal Coolant Channels

Following the successful launch of the Modular Adaptations pilot program, in cooperation with ISCAR Germany, for tool holder systems that can carry ISCAR’s MODULAR-GRIP parting adapters, ISCAR proceeded by designing each tool holder system for a specific CNC and multi- spindle machine tool.

As a result, an exponential growth was achieved in the sales of DO-GRIP and TANG-GRIP MODULAR-GRIP adapters and inserts.

Product Features

• The unique combination of a rigid tool and efficient coolant improves the insert’s tool life, surface finish and part straightness
• Designed for high-pressure coolant up to 340 bars and also very efficient when using low coolant pressure of 7-10 bars
• No coolant tubes involved which means no obstruction for chip evacuation
• Each adapter can carry several types of MODULAR-GRIP blades
• Excellent tool location repeatability after blade replacement for fast set-up
• Easy and user-friendly mounting

Target Priorities 


• Replace competitor tooling system machines
• Update current solutions
• Sell to machine tool builders

ISCAR is expanding the HELIDO 800 LINE by introducing the SOF45W-R26 new wedge clamped 45 degree cutting edge angle face mills.

The inserts on the new face mills are clamped by a wedge system, featuring high clamping security and edge location repeatability (both radial and axial).
The wedge clamping system enables quick and easy mounting and indexing of the inserts.

The new mills are intended for heavy duty machining which enables high metal removal rates (MRR), mainly for components made from steel and cast iron.

These economical, cost-effective milling tools can machine at high cutting parameters, dramatically increasing productivity.

The mills are available in a 100 -315 mm diameter range, with coarse and fine pitch configurations.

All the mills have seats to avoid deformation of the pocket and to ensure body protection.

The new versatile face mills can carry in their pockets either the S845 SNMU 26… square, double-sided insert with 8 cutting edges or the ONMU 10… octagonal, double-sided insert with 16 cutting edges.

Features

• Face milling tools for heavy duty applications with 8 cutting edges up to 11 mm D.O.C. and 16 cutting edges for 7 mm D.O.C.
• Wedge clamping for quick and rigid insert holding
• Most economical regarding price per edge
• Designed for milling large parts on powerful machines in various industries
• Suitable for roughing application and interrupted cut

ISCAR is expanding the SUMOCHAM drilling head options by introducing a revolutionary drilling head geometry that features chip splitting notches on the cutting edge and an impressed chipbreaker on the rake for superior chip control on a wide range of materials.

The new ICG drilling heads are available in 16 to 25.9 mm diameters, in 0.5 mm increments. Popular sizes are also available for Heat Exchangers.

The ICG drilling heads ensure hole tolerance of IT9-10. The ICG geometry should be regarded as a general machining option and is mostly recommended for drilling austenitic stainless steel where it can solve chip evacuation problems in deep drilling applications.

The new ICG drilling heads can be mounted on any SUMOCHAM standard drill body with the appropriate pocket size.
These ICG drilling heads are made from IC908 TiAlN PVD nano layer coated grade and feature:

• High peeling resistance
• High wear resistance
• Stable and predictable wear progression
• Efficiency with MQL cooling
• High surface quality
• Extended tool life

The revolutionary design of chip splitting notches makes it possible to achieve small, short segment chips, thus facilitating the chip evacuation process.

The new inserts meet the constantly growing demand for high quality, efficient and high-speed drilling of stainless steel.

XNK-XN13
Extended flute endmill in 50 mm diameter

The new cutters are intended for high metal removal rate rough milling, mainly on steel and cast iron components.

Main Features

• Up to 0.3×D width of cut
• Up to 69 mm depth of cut
• Wall mismatch up to 0.1 mm
• Efficient coolant holes directed to each cutting edge
• Hard Touch coating of the cutter body facilitates chip flow and protects from corrosion and wear

• Eight effective cutting edges provide a highly economical solution regarding price per insert edge
• Foolproof inserts mounted in the pockets of the cutters
• The consecutive inserts, along the cutter’s flute, produce contra-directional axial rake angles which 
result in balanced axial forces during machining, thus enabling more stable cutting and 
significantly reduced spindle loading and movement
• Axial support of the insert in the pocket produces no obstruction for high-rate chip evacuation

ISCAR is introducing the IC806 complementary SUMO TEC PVD coated grade for face grooving high temperature alloys, especially Inconel 718 and austenitic stainless steel.

IC806 Grade – A Winning Solution for Inconel and Stainless Steel Machining  ISCAR’s aim is to effectively machine Inconel and austenitic stainless steel and therefore has successfully developed grade IC806; a sub-micron grade with superior wear resistant properties and advanced PVD TiAlN. ISCAR’s SUMO-TECH coating exhibits better results when compared to competitor grades and other ISCAR grades.  These materials are extensively used in the food, chemical and medical equipment industries.

IC806 has a hard submicron substrate with PVD coating and a special post coating treatment that provides substantially improved tool life and better reliability.

1. Substrate
• A very hard submicron grain size
2. SUMO TEC PVD coating
• Improves toughness
• Improves flaking & chipping resistance
• Provides very reliable and repeatable results
Recommendations
1. Turning Inconel 718 at moderate to high cutting speeds
2. Stable to slightly unstable conditions
The IC806 new grade was tested and compared to leading competitor grades with
advantageous results.

Following market demand, ISCAR is expanding the options of the EC-H4S-CF endmills family by adding tools with corner radii to the already existing chamfered corner tools.

The new EC-H4S-CF endmills with corner radii are available in 6.0, 8.0, 10.0 and 12.0 mm diameters.

EC-H4S-CF tools feature 1xD short cutting edge length, hub section diameter 7% larger than the  regular-type endmills and a radial relief angle that features a single-angle unlike the regular-type with three relief stages.

All the above led to a stronger tool design and reduced production costs that enabled price reduction.

The new tools are made from grades IC608 and IC900, recommended for hardened steel (IC900 for up to 45 HRC and IC608 for 45-60 HRC) and milling alloy steel at moderate to high cutting speeds.

The new EC-H4S-CF tools should be offered against the competitor’s exchangeable head tools and for short (1xD) D.O.C. applications that require round corners.

ISCAR is introducing MTR spiral flute reamers for 1 to 12 mm H7 through hole diameters in high speed reaming.
