Applying A High Speed Machining Discipline of Understanding Why Chatter Occurs Helped a Company. 

In this shop, high speed machining thinking made sense even at 4,000 rpm. While the disciplines the shop put in place made a new 15,000-rpm profiler dramatically more productive. But, high speed machining thinking would have remained valuable even if the new machine never came. Acoording to a co-owner of this shop, high speed machining thinking has no need for speed to deliver results.

To machine super alloys, since they generate a lot of heat – coolant plays an important role. We designed and launched tool holders, TungTurnJet, which directs the coolant to the cutting zone thereby increasing tool life. We also launched CBN grade, BX815 for super alloys which can run at 250m/min which is unimaginable.

Published online 6 July 2020
Duplex turning is an innovative idea of metal cutting that shows potential to improve the productivity with better quality. In duplex turning, two cutting tools are used as parallel to each other and perpendicular to the workpiece axes for getting the desired surface quality in single pass turning operation.

EcoCooling even for  the hardest known metals, like chrome, titanium and tungsten carbides.


EcoCooling: Ionized air penetrates the cutting zone and forms a dry lubricant that decreases cutting friction and generated heat, at the same time speeding up the oxide layer formation. The process is patented on all continents. 

While reduced metalworking fluid costs are an obvious benefit, there is also the promise of improved productivity through higher cutting speeds, reduced cutting tool wear and reduced maintenance costs.
