Kyocera SGS Precision Tools highlights its Z-Carb XPR end mill line with plunging and ramping capabilities. These cutters enable machinists to utilize more aggressive tool paths and use a wider variety of roughing and finishing techniques while still maintaining precision and durability.
The Z-Carb XPR is designed to excel in advanced axial workpiece entry techniques, including plunging, ramping and helical interpolation, thanks to its unique end teeth design. This innovative feature, combined with completely variable geometry, enables for increased speeds and feeds while minimizing chatter and resonant vibrations, resulting in smoother and more efficient machining operations.
Its universal geometry makes it suitable for use across a wide range of material groups, providing versatility in various applications and delivers excellent performance in slotting, advanced roughing, general roughing, semi-finishing and finishing operations.
The company offers two standard coatings developed to protect tool life. Kyocera’s proprietary Megacoat Nano coating technology features nano-layers for wear resistance and high oxidation resistance that enables for operation at high temperatures. The layered structure also gives the coating the toughness required to resist chipping. Megacoat Nan is particularly effective in high efficiency machining applications. The Ti-NAMITE-X coating handles a diverse range of applications from high- and low-alloy steels to hardened materials and is suitable for operations which require high cutting speeds, high temperatures at the cutting edge and high metal removal rates.
