Challenges of aluminium machining

  • MAPAL ALu machining FLEXIBILITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE

    Flexibility without compromise

    Solid carbide milling cutters with innovative face geometry and large chip flutes enable universal milling, ramping and drilling with one tool.

  • HIGHLY PRECISE AND DEFINED SURFACES AND SHAPES

    Highly precise and defined surfaces and shapes

    Face milling systems with carbide and PCD as well as radius and form milling cutters guarantee precise surfaces and contours, even on free-form surfaces.

  • MAPAL challenges in aluminium machining

    Complicated process requirements

    Vibration-damped milling holders and customised tool systems ensure reliable machining results under complicated requirements.

  • MAPAL challenges in aluminium machining

    High volume milling

    Milling systems with a highly positive rake angle and large, polished chip spaces maximise the material removal rate and enable high metal removal rates with low cutting forces and high surface quality.

  • MAPAL challenges in aluminium machining

    Defined chip breaking and control

    Inserts with chip breaking geometries, highly positive cutting edges and indexable drilling inserts provide short, controlled chips.

  • MAPAL challenges in aluminium machining

    Reduced burr formation when machining bores

    Milling instead of drilling and drills with countersink minimise burrs and enable machining in a single step.

  • MAPAL challenges in aluminium machining

    Highest productivity in serial production

    Multi-cutting edged solid car-bide tools, replaceable drilling heads and combination tools increase productivity in serial production.

  • MAPAL challenges in aluminium machining

    Process reliability when drilling deep bores

    Matched pilot and deep drilling tools of solid carbide as well as PCD tools ensure process reliable machining of deep bores.
