Burrs Improve Surface Finish, Stock Removal and Tool Life The line of ALU/NF Cut carbide burrs from Pferd Inc. brings new levels of machining performance particularly to aluminum ap- plications, the company says. Aluminum has grown increasingly popular in the industry because of its special properties, such as extreme durability, low weight, exceptional cor- rosion resistance and uncomplicated recycling. Processing the many different aluminum alloys, however, can be complex. Depending on the alloy, the machinability properties can range from tough and gummy to brittle and hard. In addition, when milling aluminum, built-up edges can occur, which can cause the tool to clog up quickly. Burrs in the ALU/NF Cut range can process material ranging from soft, nonferrous metals such as aluminum alloys, brass, copper or tin, to harder variants, such as alloys with a high SiC content, titanium, titanium alloys and bronze. The burrs come in a variety of shapes and dimensions, with shank diameters in 1 / 8 " and 1 / 4 " (3 to 6 mm), and burr diameters ranging from 1 / 8 " to 5 / 8 " (3 to 16 mm). :: Pferd Inc., 800-342-9015, pferdusa.com Wiper Inserts Enable Finishing Operations Walter's Blaxx M3024 wiper inserts are designed for finishing operations. Semi-finishing and finishing operations can now be combined into a single operation using a single tool without adjusting the finishing cutting edges. This reduces the number of tools required and reduces machining time by minimizing time spent changing and adjusting tools, the company says. According to the company, additional features of these negative indexable wiper inserts include process reliability and soft cutting action due to the positive cutting edge geometry. :: Walter USA, 262-347-2400, walter-tools.com Vericut's MachiningCloud Connection Enhanced Customers can now import cutting pa- rameters from cutting tool manufacturers from within MachiningCloud directly into Vericut. Vericut machine simulation, verification and optimization software detects CNC programming errors as well as potential collisions from the same NC code that drives the CNC machine. After defining a tooling package on the MachiningCloud and downloading all the tool assemblies within the package into Vericut, customers can obtain the cutting parameters to verify that the tool was programmed correctly. :: CGTech, 949-753-1050, cgtech.com PRODUCTS productionmachining.com :: 53
