Iscar Releases A Completely New Line Of Slitting Cutters Applying Tang-Grip Technology And The Strength Of Sumo Tec Grades
Iscar currently offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that combine the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the added durability of the new Sumo Tec insert grades.
The notion, already established effective in Tang-Grip parting tools, has now been spread to slitting cutters. In the patented Tang-Grip clamping system, inserts are press-fit into their pockets accompanying a distinct hand tool, and are gripped solidly in place without having the need without requiring clamps, upper jaws or set screws that can weaken the insert and obstruct chip flow. The pocket composition utilizes cutting forces to keep the insert seated tightly in position, removing any danger of insert pull-out. The Tang-Grip clamping system also fosters additional accurate slitting cuts plus lengthened pocket and insert lifespan.
Iscar's Sumo Tec insert grades feature a specific post-coating treatment which greatly boosts tool life and reliability.
Launched in late 2007, the unique Sumo Tec treatment smooths the insert's coated surface to eliminate microscopic stress raisers, lessen heat and friction and improve chip flow. The result is enhanced toughness and resistance to chipping and built-up edge, all leading to greater tool lifespan. The golden-colored side on Sumo Tec inserts facilitates wear detection. Size for size, Tangslit cutters give more teeth than Iscar's SGSF cutters, providing higher feed rates.
Their greater rigidity leads to straighter, more accurate cuts and lowered 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 selection of inserts as Tang-Grip parting tools. Some other sizes will be added.
Existing Sumo Tec grades for Tangslit cutters include:
IC808, with a tough submicron substrate below a Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating, giving exceptional resistance to impact loads and built-up edge. This grade is endorsed for slitting heat resistant alloys, austenitic stainless steel, hard alloys & carbon steel.
IC830, presenting increased toughness for heavier parting and grooving involving interrupted cuts. It is appropriate for every stainless steel and high temperature alloys.
IC908, a hard, fine-grain substrate with remarkable chipping resistance, combined with a completely new Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating. It is perfect for nodular or grey 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 available in J- or C-type chipformer geometries from Iscar.
