Product extensions

New interfaces expand the range of applications

The NeoMill-Alu-QBig indexable insert milling cutter from MAPAL stands for top performance in high-volume milling of aluminium. The tool manufacturer thus offers a very economical solution for use on high-performance machines, such as those found primarily in the aerospace industry.

TOP FEATURES:

• High-volume machining of aluminium components for aerospace
• New diameters and interface variants: shell mills, shank-type cutters and screw-in milling cutters
• Up to 18 l/min metal removal rate for maximum productivity
• Excellent surface quality down to Ra 0.8 µm

Performance enhancement through design optimization

The QTD indexable insert drill for the medium to upper diameter range impresses with very good chip formation and reliable chip removal. Numerous indexable insert changes are possible per holder, as the basic holder is not eroded.

TOP FEATURES:

• Same performance as a solid carbide drill
• Non-confusable indexable insert installation
• Optimum chip formation in the indexable insert and chip removal
• Easy to handle, indexable insert change in the machine
• Diameter range from 9 to 50 mm

SK50 diameter range extension 6 – 32 mm

The hydraulic chuck UNIQ Mill Chuck is specially designed for clamping milling tools with an HA shank. Due to the high temperature resistance of 80 C° even at very long milling cycles, it impresses with excellent process reliability and high material removal rates in highly dynamic milling applications of high-quality components.

TOP FEATURES:

• Higher stability and accuracy of the overall system
• Less displacement of the tool
• Highest balancing qualities due to compacted surfaces
• Dirt resistance (corrosion resistance) increased
• Blue actuator screw: easier actuation due to up to 70% lower tightening torque

New product family of tangential milling cutters for roughing

With the new NeoMill®-T-Rough product family, MAPAL consolidates its tangential milling portfolio for the rough machining of steel, stainless steel, cast iron and aluminium. The series combines the former TGMill and Alu-Rough ranges in a clearly structured programme comprising shoulder mills, face mills and side-and-face milling cutters. Tangentially mounted indexable inserts provide maximum stability at high metal removal rates, while optimised chip breaker geometries ensure reliable chip evacuation and long tool life.

TOP FEATURES:

• High metal removal rates when roughing steel, cast iron, stainless steel and aluminium
• Maximum stability achieved through tangential indexable inserts
• Long tool life thanks to optimised chip breaker geometries
• Comprehensive portfolio of standard and customised tools

Bridging the gap between ground and pressed inserts: Accuracy close to H tolerance, cost close to M tolerance

With the new Performance Line inserts in G tolerance, MAPAL is expanding its portfolio of radial indexable inserts for boring with a cost-effective solution for medium tolerance requirements. The sintered and peripherally ground inserts bridge the gap between ground H tolerance inserts and pressed M tolerance inserts.

TOP FEATURES:

• G tolerance: High accuracy at an attractive price
• Precision without adjustment, reduced set-up times and high cost-effectiveness
• Attractive cost per cutting edge
• Wide range of applications for both roughing and finishing operations
