Redefining process reliability in milling
Versatile new solid carbide drill OptiMill-Uni-HPC for machining steel, stainless steel and cast iron.
MAPAL’s third generation of the versatile OptiMill-Uni-HPC for steel, stainless steel and cast-iron machining has been specifically developed for the requirements of modern, automated manufacturing processes. The milling cutters impress with maximum process reliability – a key factor in the era of unmanned shifts, robot-assisted machining and growing complexity in component manufacturing.
The third generation of the solid carbide milling cutter OptiMill-Uni-HPC brings together all requirements asked of a milling tool today: stability, flexibility and resistance to wear. A newly developed cutting material ensures high ductility and significant resistance to impact strain as a result. The risk of tool break is greatly reduced, protecting expensive components from damage. Combined with wear-resistant coating and adapted geometry, this ensures a high degree of reliability – even for very dynamic loads.
A version with an integrated chip breaker is a new addition to the range in 2025. This creates short chips that are easy to remove – a clear advantage for air cooling and high cutting performance. The chip removal capability of the new OptiMill-Uni-HPC is particularly remarkable at high infeed depths and increases the potential material removal rate. The result: long machine running times and reduced monitoring efforts – ideal for automated processes.
