Machining & Medical Applications
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 25,
2024 /CNW/ -- Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) is
expanding its turning portfolio with the introduction of new
inserts and cutting tools that significantly broadens its machining
capabilities in the small parts and medical machining space. The
three new products –TopSwiss™ Turning Inserts and Micro Boring
Solid (MBS) tooling, and KCU25B Turning Inserts – are designed to
improve output, enhance component quality, reduce errors and help
customers achieve accurate and clean results.
"The addition of these products builds on
our legacy portfolio of high-performance turning products."
"The addition of these products builds on our legacy portfolio
of high-performance turning products, as well as our ambition to
become a one-stop shop for all customers globally," said
Scott Etling, Vice President of
Global Product Management. "KCU25B and the new TopSwiss offering
are a testament to our continuous innovation and speaks to the
evolution of our turning solutions product lineup."
Kennametal's new TopSwiss™ Turning Inserts are uniquely
designed for Swiss-type small parts machining and engineered for
low feed, high depth-of-cut applications in medical, as well as
aerospace and defense, general engineering and transportation. The
portfolio features:
- Four new carbide grades, one new cermet grade and seven new
geometries.
- Straight and curved cutting edges for stable cuts and smooth chip
flow in low feed, high DOC applications.
- Polished finishing geometries for increased welding resistance
and improved surface finishing.
- Medium and finishing wiper geometries for increased feed rates
and superior surface quality.
- Several geometries with high chip breaker walls and large pockets
for better chip evacuation.
New Micro Boring Solid (MBS) tooling allows for the
machining of even smaller applications with greater versatility and
flexibility, and promises sharp cutting edges, low cutting forces
and superior chip evacuation that result in longer tool life and
excellent surface finishes. The latest in the TopSwiss lineup
includes high performance internal turning in bores as small as
Ø0.3mm (0.012"), precision ground insert shanks for high accuracy
and stability, and over 1,100 standard items provide the right
holder and insert for each application.
"We are proud to complement the TopSwiss platform with even
smaller tooling solutions to meet the needs of the most minute
machining projects while also guaranteeing consistency and
reliability to support lights out operations," says Etling.
Also new, KCU25B Turning Inserts offer a powerful
roughing and medium machining metal cutting solution for aerospace
and defense, energy, general engineering and transportation shops
working with steels, stainless steels, cast iron and high-temp
alloys. Ideal for the most common turning, grooving and cut-off
applications, KCU25B inserts also feature Kennametal's proprietary
KENGold PVD coating—delivering multiple layers of protection for
better flank and chipping resistance.
