NEW IN METALWORKING
Kennametal’s latest turning inserts offer longer tool life, faster speeds and versatility across materials. The updated coatings and gold wear indicators help boost productivity and reduce waste.
While manufacturers have applied model-based definition to product definition for some time, they have only recently applied it as a quality assurance process.
Deburring is shifting from manual work to CNC, robotic and abrasive-based automation. New tools like nonwoven abrasives and ceramic brushes boost quality, cut labor and save time.
MACHINING METALS
The MC5100 series of inserts from Mitsubishi Materials represents the next generation of high-performance turning grades for cast iron. The inserts are engineered to run faster, more consistently and more predictably in demanding high-volume industrial environments.
Kennametal introduces its HPR drill, a new solid carbide drill series for cast-iron made for high-speed, high-feed precision drilling.
The MC6100 series of inserts from Mitsubishi Materials is the second generation of turning grades for steel and steel alloys that can be tricky to machine because of variations in abrasiveness, heat resistance and adhesion. Here’s what you need to know.
