EXHIBITION PREVIEW MACH 2020 – BIRMINGHAM NEC – 20-24 APRIL
Parting off along the Y-axis
is now offered by Horn
signi cant advantage when working with
Swiss-type lathes, as it enables users to
change the insert without removing the
toolholder. The Horn Supermini tool system
is suitable for boring holes from 0.2 to 8
mm in diameter A new skiving tool for
larger gears up to module 30 utilises S117
single-edge inserts whose patented seat and
threaded connection ensure precise
positioning and clamping for high rigidity and
repeatability of exchange. A ground
chipbreaker enables effective swarf removal
from the machining zone, all cutting edges
being cooled directly by an internal coolant
supply HP geometry for the Supermini
system is new. The multi-functional tool is
suitable for a range of applications, including
drilling, boring, face turning and skimming.
The new geometry enables higher cutting
data and the wiper geometry produces high
surface qualities, even at elevated feed
rates. When boring, an accurate 90°
shoulder is achieved at the base of blind
holes. Able to drill into solid material in
diameters ranging from 3 to 7 mm, the
Supermini HP offers the option of
immediately boring an inner contour after
drilling, without needing to change the tool
The M610 tangential milling system has
been extended to include a 90° shoulder
mill and new carbide grades. The patented
tool system ensures a soft cut with positive
radial and axial rake angles. It features
precision-ground, indexable inserts having
six cutting edges, giving low cost per edge,
as well as high accuracy and surface quality.
Substrates AS46, IG35 and NE2B in right-
and left-hand versions and with corner radii
of 0.4 or 0.8 mm for machining different
materials are offered. Maximum depth of cut
is 9.9 mm. Cutter diameters are from 50 to
125 mm.
#tooling – Industrial Tooling Corporation,
Stand 20-555 As well as the latest
technology from partners such as BIG
Kaiser, Bass, Stock, Lexington and
Kemmler, Widia tooling will be a focus
A MACH premier will be given to the new
range of 4U50 (short series) and 4U80
(standard length) shallow-pitch roughing
cutters (photo, below). Perfect for stainless
steel and high temperature alloys, the new
solid carbide end-mills demonstrate reliable
consistent performance at higher machining
parameters when conducting prolonged
machining cycles on challenging aerospacegrade
materials The extended Victory
X-Feed (VXF) high-feed milling range of
indexable milling cutters now features VXF-
07, VXF-09 and VXF-16 insert designations.
Victory X-Feed is available as screw-on,
cylindrical, Weldon and shell-mill variants,
and has the exibility to undertake facing,
3D pro ling, pocket milling, contour, deep
pocket, helical interpolation and Z-axis
contour plunge milling For 90° shoulder
milling, the VSM platform, and
in particular the new VSM11
and VSM17 helical cutters, will
be a stand exhibit. VSM11 and VSM17 are
available with screw-on, Weldon, cylindrical,
shell-mill and the M4000 cartridge-type
milling cutters. Diameters range from 16 to
315 mm. With aggressive ramping capability,
an optimised chip-gash and internal throughcoolant
supply, the new VSM improves
productivity, stability and performance when
machining stainless steel and hightemperature
alloys New also is the WGC
Series of grooving, pro ling and parting-off
tools. Available with a variety of modular
toolholders for grooving and pro ling with a
selection of blade type toolholders for
parting operations, new precision moulded
and ground WGC grooving inserts that
demonstrate high side-load stability, easy
indexing, improved seating stability and
protective ‘horns’ to eliminate chip-jamming
will be highlighted. With PVD-coated grades
and a positive rake design, the new WGC
grooving line will deliver a “huge productivity
boost”.
Lang Technik UK will
be at MACH for the
fi rst time
#automation #workholding – Lang
Technik UK, Stand 17-40 Makro Grip
“the original and still the leading formclosure
technology that provides the highest
holding power for 5-face machining”. This
system uses innovative pre-stamping, a
technology developed by Lang, where the
workpiece is stamped outside of the
machine tool with up to 20 tons of pressure
before being clamped in the Makro-Grip
5-axis vice Quick-Point machine table/
clamping device interface for fast set-up is
offered in a wide range of variants – round,
rectangular or square plates, for single or
multiple clamping. It can be used in vertical
and horizontal machining centres, on 3- and
5-axis tables and fourth-axis rotary or
trunnion systems. The attachment of the
