Phoenix Face Milling Machine, Insert for Octagon Type and Bore Type

Product features and specifications

Basic specifications and features of the product

Insert shape

A shape that combines high stiffness and sharp cutting edge due to the negative rake angle and positive relief angle

• Economical specifications with 8 corners on front and back (16 corners in total). Maximum notch 3.5 mm
• Surface roughness is improved by the shape of the wiper edge. Wiper edge = 2 mm
• It is possible to suppress variations by matching the numbers of each insert.

Performance/test information

Roughing process of hydraulic valve parts
The workpiece shape had many holes so a severe intermittent processing was required. Stable machining was possible even under high-speed conditions in such a machining environment, the durability per corner has been greatly improved, and now cost reduction can be expected.

Number of workpieces for processing

Photograph of insert after processing 16 workpieces / main cutting edge wear

Roughing of machine parts
Since the cutting force can be kept low, stable machining can be performed by increasing the efficiency by 1.8 times. An additional 1.5 times more durability was obtained.

Number of workpieces for processing

Roughing of hydraulic valves
Previously, a single-sided 8-corner specification type was used, but with PAO, the number of usable corners has doubled and the corner unit price has been reduced. In addition, the cutting amount can be increased by 25%, and the durability has doubled.

Roughing of the press mold reference surface
With the conventional product, defects frequently occurred due to severe intermittent processing and poor machinability. The high stiffness GR breaker has enabled stable processing and improved durability.
