Tungaloy Adds Fracture Resistant Guide Pads to DeepTri Drill Line

Tungaloy’s DeepTri-Drill line of indexable gundrills now includes FH3135 grade guide pads. These guide pads were developed specifically to enhance thermal crack resistance when machining with water-emulsifiable oils. 

DeepTri-Drill is a line of indexable-insert gundrills designed for productivity and application security when drilling deep holes while eliminating the need for regrinding. 

The tribological conditions during gundrilling between the guide pad surfaces and the wall of the hole being drilled are far more severe than those during other applications, Tungaloy explains. While straight cutting oils have long been DNMG Insert preferred, more manufacturers are using more environmentally conscious water-emulsifiable or soluble oils over petroleum-based coolants. These oils have lower lubricity and can adversely affect the guide pad quality during gundrilling. 

The dedicated carbide substrate of the FH3135 guide pad provides enhanced resistance to fracturing and thermal cracking, reducing the risk of guide pad breakage for use with these lower-lubricity oils. In addition, the new guide pad features a double-chamfer CNC Carbide Inserts geometry on the corners of both ends, smoothing entry into the guide bushing or pilot hole to limit vibration impact and further decrease the risk of rupture.

Heimatec Transitions to Platinum Tooling Technologies

Heimatec Inc. (Prospect Heights, Illinois), a supplier of live tooling for the North American machine tool industry, has announced that it will combine with other tooling lines under a new corporation, Platinum Tooling Technologies Inc. Preben Hansen, Heimatec’s longtime president, will become the new corporation’s COO and reprise his Cemented Carbide Insert role as president, holding a majority stake in its ownership.

According to Mr. Hansen, he had considered this move for some time, and after many discussions Heimatec GmbH, Tecnicrafts Industries and Henninger GmbH, the company decided to move forward with Platinum Tooling Technologies Inc.

“The new company will enable us to serve our existing and new market opportunities in a more proactive fashion,” says Mr. Hanson. “Nothing will change in our interaction with current customers, reps and distributors. We’ll be enhancing our capabilities, however, with more application engineering, service technicians and staff dedicated to the specific tooling lines we represent.”

The changes have already begun on all lines that will be represented by the new company, with recent facility expansions allowing Face Milling Inserts higher numbers of staff and inventory. Other developments in the works, says Mr. Hansen, include additional personnel and sales representative firms as well as additional lines of machine tool accessories and related machine components.

Heimatec Inc. has added various other brand names to its roster over the years, most recently the very successful guide bushing and collet line from the global supplier Tecnicrafts Industries. Platinum Tooling will make a further investment to this line with extensive inventory and the purchase and installation of a grinding machine. Bringing this process in house is expected to improve delivery times and strengthen the company’s market position.

Considerations for a New CNC Machine

When you evaluate CNC machine tools to determine which would best suit your needs, there are surely countless factors that will affect your buying decision. Rapid rates, axis travels, spindle horsepower and cutting tool capacity are but a few of the many criteria that will help you determine whether a given Face Milling Inserts machine will do what you need it to do—based on the price you are willing to pay.

Once you make the buying decision, you likely set about ensuring that the machine will hit the floor running. You order cutting tool components, workholding, accessories, fluids and anything else you will need once the new machine is delivered. The following are five considerations that tend to get overlooked in a new machine installation, however. While they would probably not affect your decision to buy a given machine, they can have a big impact on long-term machine utilization.

1. Power curves for the spindle drive system. All machine tool builders specify spindle horsepower as part of their standard quotations. This is usually a duty rating, meaning the motor can output the specified horsepower for a given percentage of usage time per hour. It is important to know that the spindle cannot output maximum horsepower and torque at all rotational speeds. Generally speaking, the faster the motor runs, the greater the available power. 

For this reason, builders often provide multiple spindle ranges to increase power output at lower motor speeds. This can be done using some kind of transmission gearbox or with multiple coil windings on the motor. Spindle-range changing can be somewhat transparent. With many machining centers, for example, it is done using an S word, without requiring a special programming command. Thus, some programmers may not even know that a machine has multiple spindle ranges.

Of course, in order to make the best use of a machine, you must know how much power is available throughout the various speeds in each spindle range. Surprisingly, power curve information may not be as readily available as you might think. Some machine builders include a power curve graph in their programming manuals. With others, you may have to make a special request.

2. List of recommended spare parts. Hopefully, your brand-new CNC machine will run for a long time before anything wears out. Even so, you must be prepared for eventual failures. Your machine builder and control manufacturer should be able to provide a list of components that are most prone to failure and specify those components that will most likely break during a mishap (crash). Common examples include batteries for memory and absolute encoder position backup, filters, fluids, and taper alignment pins. Don’t wait until something fails before ordering a replacement. Instead, maintain a complement of recommended spare parts for the time when they are needed. 

3. New or different maintenance procedures. It is likely that any new machine will include new features and functions that require your maintenance personnel to do some things differently. For example, you may be buying your first machine that has absolute pulse coders on axis drive motors. These motors require a battery to maintain position while the power is off, and a special (different) procedure to reset the home position should it be lost for reasons such as battery failure or crash. The time to prepare for these new procedures is while the machine is new, before the procedure is required.

4. Memory backup. I’ve said this many times before: You must know how to create backup copies of all data stored with the CNC. This is especially true with a new machine. Backing up common usage data like CNC programs and offset settings may be part of your company’s standard operating procedure, and you likely have a direct numerical control system to save CNC programs for repeated jobs. For maintenance purposes, you must create backup copies of all other data as well. This data includes CNC parameters, custom macro variables (if your machine has a touch probe), the programmable machine controller (PMC) ladder program and PMC parameters.

5. Confirm some basic usage settings. If you have other machines that are similar to the one you are buying, you will probably want to use similar (or identical) operational techniques. You must first know if any initial settings are dramatically different on the new machine, however. ]

The set of initialized states, that is, modes automatically instated during power-up, should be the same for all of your machines. For example, you will not want some machines powering up in the metric measurement system while others power up in the imperial (inch) measurement system. One severe complication is related to decimal point entry or, better said, what happens if a value is entered without a decimal point. Typically, on older machines, if you enter a value of 20 (no decimal point) in the imperial system, the CNC will interpret the value as 0.0020 inches. Newer CNCs provide a setting choice (commonly called calculator input) that Carbide Grooving Inserts determines what happens if a value is entered without a decimal point. With these CNCs, it is possible that a value of 20 (again, no decimal point) will be interpreted as 20.0 inches.

Thread Mills Combine Pros of Thread Milling, Tapping

Walter USA’s range of T2711/T2712 thread milling cutters for large threads has been expanded with three new inserts and two tool bodies for cutting M56 and M64 threads. The tools are appropriate for all dimensions in the coarse-pitch thread range. According Machining Carbide Inserts to the company, the cutter family increases productivity by combining the advantages of thread milling with those of thread tapping. It enables simultaneous machining of multiple thread sections with high cutting parameters, delivering machining times comparable to those of thread tapping and forming.

In addition to faster machining speeds, the tools provide the process reliability associated with thread milling as well as the cost benefits associated with indexable insert tools. The inserts with smaller corner radii enhance the versatility of the existing tool bodies in the tool family, and the two new tool bodies add the capability of cutting M56 and M64 coarse-pitch threads. UNC, UNF, M and MF thread sizes starting at 1" (24 mm) in diameter can be machined with the Shoulder Milling Inserts existing T2711/T2712 tool bodies and inserts.

The inserts enable users to cut finer pitches. The multiple-row bodies of the inserts can cut not just one or two but multiple pitches when the row spacing is an integral multiple of the pitch. With the new tool bodies, virtually any pitch between 6 to 18 threads per inch (1.5 and 6 mm) can be cut. These features are said to enable cutting of common as well as less common thread sizes.
