High precision tools exhibited focus on the major industrial sectors and demonstrate the latest advancements of Mitsubishi Materials technology, including the latest turning products, and advanced precision milling and drilling solutions for the automotive, aerospace and general machining industries.
In milling, the newest additions to the innovative iMX range, claimed to be the world’s first screw-in type end mill series to feature a carbide head and carbide holder, are showing. There are now 13 different geometries available, including a new taper-flute, corner-radius type suitable for turbine blade machining.
It also offers a range of turning insert grades for cast iron, general steel, stainless steel and heat resistant alloy applications.
With such a diverse line-up of grades and geometries, Mitsubishi has developed an Easy Chipbreaker Selection Table. Available online and in all new product portfolios, the Easy Breaker table identifies the correct grade for the customer by highlighting the ISO designation for each material. The table cross-references each ISO material and the process (light cutting, medium cutting and rough cutting). For example, cast iron grades (ISO K) and their respective chipbreakers are labelled as LK, MK and RK for, light, medium and rough machining in cast iron, respectively. This simple selection process helps ensure that the customer selects the correct grade and chipbreaker for the specified task.
