WNT high spindle speed and deep-dished cutter body HSV22 millers target non-ferrous productivity
1 min read
HSV22 high speed milling cutters can enhance the production of non-ferrous components, says WNT(UK), through a combination of higher spindle speeds and the greater versatility of the cutter body design.
The WNT HSV22 cutter bodies, which come as facemill A style or as a monoblock M style with an HSK 63A spindle interface, have a deeply dished face. This allows up to 9 mm of plunge when ramping into the face of a component. Additionally, the cutters have the capability to angle ramp at up to 42º and to circular mill into solid from 20 up to 250 mm diameter, dependent on cutter diameter.
Indexable inserts for the HSV22 cutters are available in two forms, carbide and PCD (polycrystaline diamond), with two cutting geometries available in both materials. All of the inserts present an extremely sharp cutting edge, capable of up to 15 mm depth of cut with the carbide inserts and up to 8.5 mm with PCD. The inserts are supplied in VCGT and VCGX styles in carbide and as VCGW in PCD.
The combination of balanced cutter body and the precision inserts allows spindle speeds of up to 24,000 rpm with feedrates of up to 0.6 mm/tooth aided by the through tool coolant/air blast that is standard on all cutter bodies.
