Possible. We've been trying production of various special figure tools. Please contact our sales person in charge on specification, lead time, etc..
Possible. We produce as special type end mills. Please contact our sales person in charge.
We are so sorry to say that we don't do either of them in house.
We are afraid we don't do them. But, it's possible to produce as special type end mills.
Please apply them by the hardness of work material properly.
HARD MAX (HM) coating:
This is the coating which can make longer tool life for high hardness work material (40-65 HRC).
It's excellent at
heat-resistant, harder than UT coating, and it's possible to reduce wear by the effect.
UT coating:
This is the coating which can make longer tool life for steel work material (raw material-55
HRC).
Its friction
coefficient against steel material is low and it has excellent lubricity, so that it can reduce wear
by the effect.
We offer the following coating types.
UT coating (for milling steel material less or equal 55 HRC), HARDMAX(HM) coating (for milling steel
material 40-65
HRC), HMG coating (for milling hardened steels up to 70 HRC), CrN coating (for milling
copper electrodes), DLC
coating (for milling aluminum alloy), Diamond coating (for milling Graphite, FRP), and UDC (for
Cemented Carbide and Hard Brittle Mateirals)
Please make use of them including the special type end mills.
UT coating and HARDMAX(HM) coating and HMG coating are suitable for both cutting fluid / Air blow coolant types.
R accuracy is controlled by the half of measured diameter as the basis of R. That's why it's been keeping ball nose ground with smooth surface and smooth connection from R edge to outer cutting edge. If a program is made in accordance with this basis, it'll be possible to finish mold, etc, with high accuracy.
It's possible to manufacture φ0.06(HSB 20006-0006) for ball series, φ0.1(CSS 2001-0010, C-CES 2001-0015, HLS2001-003, etc) for square series.
It is very important to control spindle run-out on applying micro diameter end mills. If the spindle run-out is getting bigger, tools can be damaged easily and the quality of milled surface becomes worse. Regarding the milling conditions, please set it without chatter vibration. And it is effective to set it with small milling amount and high feed rate for applying micro diameter end mills.
Please refer to Technical Data pages in latest UNIMAX Series catalog.
When the parameter exceeds the machine's maximum spindle speed, decrease both the spindle speed and the feed rate at the same rate.
We recommend that coolant is supplied to milling area with the pressure as high as possible (within preventing end mills from the breakage) and it is needed that run-out of end mills is controlled appropriately.
For Slotting, it's suitable to apply 2 flutes because the chip pocket is wide, and for Side milling, it's suitable to apply multiple number flutes (4 or 6 flutes) because the rigidity is excellent. We have 3 flutes(CFB), 4 flutes(CZS, HFB, HRRS, CRRS and CNRS, etc.) series for high efficiency milling performance. Please make use of them.
It is suitable for milling sloped side wall. The rigidity of taper neck end mills is higher than straight types and is possible to improve the quality of the finished surface.
All models are manufactured with tolerance minus. It's possible to manufacture with tolerance plus as special type products.
Tungsten carbide material is better than high speed tool steels(HSS) material regarding the characteristics of Hardness, the temperature of Heat Resistance, Wear Resistance, Deflection Resistance(Young's modulus) etc., and is applicable for harder work materials than high speed tool steels(HSS) material, is possible to mill with high velocity. However, tungsten carbide material is brittle because of its high hardness. So there are some cases that tungsten carbide material has chipping easier than high speed tool steels(HSS) material when the end mills receive shock during milling. UNION TOOL CO. manufactures all kinds of end mills with tungsten carbide materials.
It depends. We select the suitable carbide material in consideration of the work material and purpose.
OPTECH-MES/MES-D50 is an optical non-contact digital indicator that can measure diameter and run-out with keeping the revolution when tools such as end mills and drills are actually running.
It's of course possible to produce drills with irregular diameter, and it's also possible to do them on specification with high aspect ratio like 30 times diameter or with stepped figure. Please contact our sales person in charge on required specification.
The rigidity of tungsten carbide is higher than high speed tool steels (HSS) and the tungsten carbide can prevent from making bend holes, because Young's modulus of tungsten carbide are higher (about three times) than high speed tool steels (HSS).
There are 3 points: 1.The run-out of tools, 2. Fixation of work materials and 3. The Pre-drilling (A
Pilot hole):
1. We recommend to set the run-out of tools less or equal 5μm. If the diameter is smaller, the
effective will be more.
And, we also recommend making use of our measuring equipment to check the run-out of tools during
the revolution
(dynamic run-out). It's possible to lend the equipment for demonstration.
2. It is important to fix the work material not to be lifted up for preventing chatter vibration in
drilling.
3. A Pilot hole is effective for preventing breakage caused by tools acting up (walking phenomenon)
when starting the
drilling, and makes the hole registration accuracy improved.
Setting up the back-up board under work material is effective for decreasing the burr in drilling. And, it is also effective for preventing chatter vibration of work materials, because the work material can be fixed firmly.
