SAFE-LOCK TOOL PULL-OUT PROTECTION
ROUGHING APPLICATION IN THE PACKING MACHINE INDUSTRY
Problem
- Only Weldon holders could be used
- High tool wear on one flute (Tool breakout on the opposite side of the Weldon flat)
TARGET
- Increase of tool life by usage of high precision tool holding instead of Weldon
APPLICATION:
CONTOUR MILLING
| Material: | Steel |
|---|---|
| Cutting tool: | HPC solid carbide cutter with variable flutes Ø = 20 mm, Z=4 |
APPLICATION PARAMETERS:
| Cutting depth: | axial (ap) = 0,75xD; radial (ae) = 10 mm |
|---|---|
| Cutting speed (vc): | 180 m/min |
| Feed rate/flute (fz): | 0,07 mm/U |
Result
This comparison shows the wear characteristics of the cutting tools at various machining times. Of note is that, in the case of Safe-Lock, even at double the machining time, wear is less prevalent and more´controlled than for Weldon - with 100% protection against pullout.
