The coating of the newly developed CopyMax2 insert from LMT Kieninger is Nanomold Gold, which is already an indication of top performance in mold and die making. But it doesn’t stop there. The copy milling plate itself has an entirely new construction design. It has improved cutting and material properties as well as a fully functional second cutting edge. When the first cutting edge is worn, the insert can be turned over and re-used with the same long service life.
The challenge for the engineering experts was to integrate the second cutting edge into the tool geometry in such a way that the user would be able to mount the milling insert accurately, securely and easily in the tool holder. The solution includes the new conical shaft and a specially designed clamping screw. The tool is available as an end mill cutter or bolt-on milling cutter in the diameters 16, 20 and 25 mm.
Another new feature is that the copy milling plate is manufactured using the High Quality Sintering (HQS) process. With this process, even more stable cutting edges can be achieved thanks to the increased mold pressure and a special design. They are particularly beneficial for the roughing and semi-finishing of large molds as well for removing residual material and enable the machining of large workpiece surfaces with maximum process reliability.
