Mitsubishi expands its FMAX high feed finish milling cutter series
Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, Advanced Materials & Tools Company (President – Fumio Tsurumaki, Headquarters: 1-3-2 Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) has launched new small diameters, φ50 mm and φ63 mm sizes for the FMAX high feed finish milling cutter.
A special alloy steel and aluminium body in the FMAX cutter combine to provide rigidity and light weight. FMAX offers super efficient machining through the adoption of an ultra fine pitch tooth design. This helps to achieve high efficiency machining of F≧20m/min. (Tool diameter 125mm, 24 teeth, when machining a non-ferrous metal such as aluminium alloy.) FMAX delivers high efficiencies and is especially effective for high feed machining of automotive parts. To complement the existing sizes, the range has now been expanded to include smaller sizes, φ50 mm andφ63 mm.
Features of the FMAX cutter
- The body protector on the rake face forms chip shapes that are ideal for disposal and disperses them away from the body. Internal coolant also aids this process.
- A special alloy steel and aluminium body combine to provide rigidity and light weight. FMAX also features an anti-fly dovetail clamping mechanism.
- The combination of both large and micro adjustment screws provides the ability for a precise run-out setting (5ɥm or better).
