Stahlträger wirtschaftlich und prozesssicher bearbeiten
Stahlträger beziehungsweise Profilstähle sind unverzichtbar in vielen Bereichen. Sowohl ihre Abmessungen als auch die Position und Größe ihrer Bohrungen sind genau definiert. Für die Hersteller von Stahlträgern steht deshalb neben Prozesssicherheit und Wirtschaftlichkeit die erzeugte Bohrungsqualität bei der Zerspanung im Fokus. MAPAL bietet dafür mit dem QTD-STEEL-PYRAMID Schneidplattenbohrer mit Pyramidenspitze die optimale Lösung.
Australian manufacturer of steel beams initiating contact with MAPAL
In one specific case in Australia, the managers at a company that manufactures steel construction materials were not satisfied with the performance of the tool produced by one of the other players on the market. The tool life of the drill fluctuated immensely. Jammed chips in particular meant that the machinist often had to replace it after just 150 bores.
The customer turned to MAPAL. The experts at the precision tool manufacturer designed a QTD-STEEL-PYRAMID indexable insert drill (QTD) with a diameter of 18 mm especially tailored to the conditions on site. The QTD was predestined for the machining of steel beams.
Details about the MAPAL tool:
• Indexable insert made from coated solid carbide especially for steel machining
• Pyramid tip for the best possible self-centring and therefore a reliable bore entrance
• Shank according to ISO 9766
• Back relief for reliable chip removal
• Optimum power transmission due to embedded indexable insert
• Hardened steel holder with cylindrical shank
• Stable Torx Plus tension
• Prismatic insert seat for optimum centring of the indexable insert
• Maximum performance when combined with MAPAL chucks
Tool life multiplied, high process reliability
Work is carried out with MQL and with the same cutting values as the previously used tool:
Cutting speed: 63 m/min | Spindle speed: 1,115 rpm | Feed: 0.3 mm
The results are exciting. With the MAPAL tool, the customer is now able to machine a whole 2,000 bores reliably and economically.
