Iscar Offers A Completely New Line Of Slitting Cutters Applying Tang-Grip Technology And The Strength Of Sumo Tec Grades
Iscar right now offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that combine the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the added durability of the completely new Sumo Tec insert grades.
The concept, 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 accompanied by a distinct hand tool, and are gripped tightly in place without 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 hold the insert seated firmly in position, removing any chance of insert pull-out. The Tang-Grip clamping system also fosters additional accurate slitting cuts plus increased pocket and insert life.
Iscar's Sumo Tec insert grades feature a unique post-coating treatment which considerably boosts tool life and dependability.
Launched in late 2007, the brand new Sumo Tec treatment smooths the insert's coated surface to dispose of microscopic stress raisers, lessen heat and friction and boost chip flow. The result is improved toughness and resistance to chipping and built-up edge, all leading to enhanced tool life. The golden-colored side on Sumo Tec inserts facilitates wear detection. Size for size, Tangslit cutters offer more teeth than Iscar's SGSF cutters, permitting higher feed rates.
Their improved rigidity leads to straighter, more accurate cuts and lower vibration even in large-diameter cutters. The revolutionary Tangslit TGSF cutters come in 100 to 160 mm diameters, 3 and 4 mm widths and can accept the exact same selection of inserts as Tang-Grip parting tools. Additional 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, delivering excellent resistance to impact loads and built-up edge. This grade is recommended for slitting heat resistant alloys, austenitic stainless steel, hard alloys and carbon steel.
IC830, providing increased toughness for heavier parting & grooving including interrupted cuts. It is fitting for any stainless steel and high temperature alloys.
IC908, a hard, fine-grain substrate with outstanding chipping resistance, combined with a completely new Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating. It is perfect 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 likewise favored for interrupted cuts and heavy operations.
Each Tangslit and Tang-Grip inserts are attainable in J- or C-type chipformer geometries from Iscar.
