New METRIC product; the PMC screw-in indexable endmill for vertical machining of die and mold applications.
December 17. 2009
Technical Information:
- PMC is economical, as it uses the AJX std insert, (insert thickness prevents fracturing)
- 3 grades & 3 breaker geometries are available which provides for a wide range work piece applications
- Screw & clamp bridge secures the insert therefore, the tool to can be used for vertical plunge and return machining
- Three diameters are available that cover a wide application range
- Time required for vertical feed machining can be reduced by 50% compared to special brazed tooling
Applications to Target:
- Sheet press die and mold, (trim relief face)
- Possible to carry out profiling, (for slopes less than 30 deg)
Benefits:
- PMC screw in head & carbide shank can replace special brazed tooling
- 3-D machining possible with PMC vertical plunging, and automated machining also possible. Compared to brazed tooling is usually 2-D machining and you have to manually set the Z axis. Operator needs to monitor machining.
- High efficiency machining with PMC
