CERATIZIT develops new high-feed face milling cutter
MaxiMill HFC is synonymous with rapid milling |
 |
CERATIZIT has developed a new tooling system for special face milling operations. The MaxiMill HFC (High Feed Cutting) system is synonymous with maximum feed and chip removal rates.
High-feed cutting tools are applied where maximum chip removal rates must be achieved in a minimum of time. A typical application is rough milling of flat faces, for instance in the field of mould and die construction.
MaxiMill HFC guarantees minimum vibration thanks to a light cutting geometry with positive rake angles and high chip removal rates. The inserts for this system have a special chip groove specifically developed for this application and are offered with the innovative HyperCoat coatings. CTP1235 (for steel), CTP2235 (for stainless steel) and CTC3215 (for cast iron). The combination of the new HFC milling system and the latest CERATIZIT grades guarantee maximum performance in terms of tool life, surface quality and reduced tendency for vibration.
The optimised tool coating ‘hard & tough’, which is both wear resistant (hard) and corrosion resistant (tough), guarantees long tool life.
Flexibility concerning the coolant plays an important role when high-feed milling. Every tool therefore possesses a special coolant hole design which is particularly adapted for minimum quantity lubrication.
The main application range of the new MaxiMill HFC system is face milling with maximum feed (up to 3.0 mm per tooth), plunging for the production of deep pockets and with maximum chip removal rates (more than 1,500 ccm/minute).
