A new offering specifically for small parts machining and medical applications
Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) is expanding its turning portfolio with the introduction of new inserts and cutting tools that significantly expand its small parts and medical equipment machining capabilities. The three new products – TopSwiss™ turning inserts and Micro Boring Solid (MBS) tools and KCU25B turning inserts – are designed to increase output, improve component quality, reduce errors and help customers achieve accurate and clean to achieve results.
“The offering of these new products builds on our existing portfolio of high-performance turning products and underscores our commitment to becoming a one-stop shop for all customers around the world,” said Scott Etling, vice president of global product management. The KCU25B and the new TopSwiss offering are a testament to our continued innovation and speak to the further development of our product range in the area of turning solutions.”
The new ones TopSwiss™ swivel inserts from Kennametal are specifically designed for Swiss-style small part machining and are suitable for low feed, high depth of cut applications in medical, aerospace, general engineering and transportation. The portfolio includes:
– Four new carbide grades, one new cermet grade and seven new geometries
– Straight and curved cutting edges for stable cuts and consistent chip flow in low feed, high DOC applications
– Polished finishing geometries for increased weld strength and improved surface finish
– Medium and finish wiper geometries for higher feed speeds and better surface quality
– Various geometries with high chip breaker walls and large pockets for better chip evacuation.
The new one Micro Boring Solid (MBS)tool enables machining of even smaller applications with greater versatility and flexibility, promising sharp cutting edges, low cutting forces and excellent chip evacuation, resulting in longer tool life and excellent surface finishes. The latest TopSwiss product offering includes high-performance internal turning in holes as small as 0.3 mm (0.012″) diameter, precision-ground insert shanks for high accuracy and stability, and over 1,100 standard items that provide the right holder and insert for every application.
“We are proud to complement the TopSwiss platform with even smaller tooling solutions to meet the needs of the smallest machining projects while guaranteeing consistency and reliability to support unattended operations,” says Etling.
Also new: KCU25B turning plates provide a high-performance solution for roughing, metal cutting and other metal processing in the aerospace, defense, energy, general engineering and transportation sectors where steels, stainless steels, cast irons and high-temperature alloys are processed. Ideal for most common turning, notching and chipping applications, the KCU25B inserts feature Kennametal’s proprietary KENGold PVD coating, which provides multiple layers of protection for better flank and break resistance.
