ISCAR TECH-TALK - Upgraded HELI2000 with New IC5600 and IC716 Carbide Grade

HELI-2000 Incorporates the HELIMILL and HELIPLUS Lines with 15-, 10-, and 07-mm Inserts ISCAR expanded its highly efficient HELI2000 milling products with CVD IC5600 and IC716 carbide grade. The new additions guarantee higher tool life, more productivity and better process reliability. In addition, HELIMILL-10 and HELIPLUS-07 lines are now enhanced with the new PVD coated IC716 carbide grade inserts and new insert geometries. The innovative geometry with a new high positive (HP) chip-former and the new IC716 carbide grade were developed specifically for high-performance machining on titanium and titanium alloys. APKR-HP and ADKR-HP inserts were especially designed for rough and finish milling applications related to ISO S materials with a pressed-to-size durable insert structure. The insert geometry reduces cutting load and enables high table feed because of the insert's high axial rake angles, wiper, and improved edge for high surface finish. These inserts show excellent performance when milling 90 square shoulders with an excellent surface finish. Suitable for HELI-2000 tools with conventional coolant or high-pressure jet coolant and pinpointed coolant outlets. The high-pressure coolant reduces the built-up edge, especially when machining high-temperature superalloys and difficult-to-cut austenitic and duplex stainless steel. The chip-splitting (CS) cutting edge geometry is designed for general roughing applications. APKT 1003 and ANKT 0702 have a new reinforced cutting-edge geometry for rough high feed milling intended for hardened materials of up to 60 Rockwell C hardness, which diminishes high stress and intensive wear. The new inserts designed with a reinforced cutting edge specially for hard milling, feature a unique reinforced cutting edge with T-land chipformer to significantly improve tool life and boost productivity. The reinforced cutting-edge geometry (GT) is intended for productive high feed milling hardened materials of up to 60 HRC hardness, for both APKT 1003 and HP ANKT 0702 insert families. The APKT 1003 insert is intended for milling square shoulders, full slots with a high depth of cut specifically for ISO P and ISO M materials. Its geometry improves chip evacuation, reduces cutting loads, and enables high table feed while reducing vibration and improving surface quality. This family of inserts assures higher process durability and reliability by use of high feed rates and increased tool life - achieved by the insert’s cutting profile and chipformer cutting geometry. These inserts are a great alternative to grinding, EDM or any other time-consuming production method in rough machining.
