Face milling cutters are an essential tool used in machining processes to create flat surfaces on workpieces. As technology advances, the design of face milling cutters has also been evolving to meet the increasing demands for efficiency and precision. Here are some of the latest trends in face milling cutter design:

1. High-Performance Materials: One of the latest trends in face milling cutter design is the use of high-performance materials such as carbide, ceramic, and cubic boron nitride (CBN). These materials offer superior hardness, heat resistance, and wear resistance, resulting in longer tool life and improved cutting performance.

2. Multi-Insert Cutters: Multi-insert face milling cutters are gaining popularity due to their ability to accommodate multiple inserts on a single cutter body. This design allows for higher cutting speeds, increased feed rates, and improved chip evacuation, leading to faster and more efficient machining processes.

3. Variable Helix Angle: Face milling cutters with a variable helix angle feature cutting edges that are not parallel to the axis of rotation. This design helps to reduce chatter, improve surface finish, and increase tool life, especially when machining difficult-to-cut materials.

4. Advanced Coatings: The use of advanced coatings such as titanium nitride (TiN), titanium carbonitride (TiCN), and diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings has become a common trend in face milling cutter design. These coatings provide increased hardness, lubricity, and heat resistance, resulting in improved wear resistance and extended tool life.

5. Integrated Coolant Channels: Some face milling cutters now come with integrated coolant channels that deliver coolant directly to the cutting edges. This design helps to improve chip evacuation, reduce cutting temperatures, and prolong tool life by effectively removing heat from the cutting zone.

6. Industry 4.0 Integration: With the advancement of digital technologies, face milling cutter design is now being integrated with Industry 4.0 concepts. Smart tooling solutions with sensors and data analytics capabilities are being developed to monitor tool wear, optimize Carbide Inserts machining parameters, and enhance overall process efficiency.

Overall, the latest trends in face milling cutter design TCMT Insert focus on improving cutting performance, tool life, and process efficiency through the use of high-performance materials, innovative designs, advanced coatings, integrated cooling systems, and Industry 4.0 technologies.

Sandvik Coromant’s expanded CoroCut program features larger insert seat sizes for wider grooves and a dedicated grade to enable higher performance in demanding parting and grooving operations. The M- and R-size inserts and holders increase the range of the parting and grooving program to cover from 0.590" for heavy-duty grooving, to 0.020" parting widths. The R size, the largest insert in the line, is designed for reliable performance in demanding grooving operations, the company says. The R-size insert achieves feed rates ranging to 0.020 ipr in various grades of steel, stainless steel and cast iron.

The M-size Cermet Inserts insert is said to provide high metal removal rates with quality chip control in heavy grooving and rough-forming applications. It is capable of producing groove widths ranging from 0.354" to 0.433" and allows chip forming at feed rates of as much as 0.016 ipr.

The parting and grooving system uses a patented rail and V-shaped insert design to boost precision in parting and grooving applications. With a secure clamping design, the system provides the rigidity and stability required for demanding applications, the company says.

To complement the additional insert sizes, the company also offers the GC1145 grade. With improved wear resistance and toughness properties, the grade enables increased time in the cut. According to the company, this can provide increased tool life and cutting speed in difficult parting-off Tungsten Steel Inserts operations in stainless steels as well as demanding parting and grooving in stainless steel, steel and heat-resistant super alloys.

Big Kaiser’s Fullcut Mill contact grip end mill permits easy indexing of cutter heads while maintaining rigidity and accuracy. With the addition of the Fullcut Radius Mill (FRM) and the Ball End Mill (BE), the Fullcut series features four connection sizes and seven cutter types.

The dual-contact grip threaded coupling system is said to achieve machining capacity close to that Cutting Carbide Inserts of integrated types. The taper and flange face make close contact for a solid connection, and one holder can be used with multiple heads. 

The FRM is designed for ramping and helical milling applications, and includes round inserts with high rake for low cutting resistance. The solid carbide BE is CrN-coated for better wear resistance and is available with two or three flutes in diameters of 16, 20 or 25 mm.   

Other cutters in this series, like the Fullcut Mill FCM-type for profile milling, are designed to perform sharp cutting with low cutting resistance because of the dual-contact Contact Grip design. Similarly, the Fullcut Mill FCR-type multifunction 3D cutters are suited for both heavy and stable ramping.

Also available are three chamfering options: the C-cutter Mini for transverse Coated Inserts chamfering, the C-cutter for plunge chamfering and the C-cutter Universal for adjustable-angle chamfering.

Cutting tool manufacturers often perform post-grinding operations such as honing and polishing to improve tool surface finish and generate precisely rounded cutting edges. These operations lead to better chip flow, longer tool life and improved adhesion prior to coating processes. They also reduce the coefficient of friction of coated tools by removing droplets and other imperfections left behind after CVD or PVD.

Schütte TGM offers an alternate surface finishing method on its WU-305 tool grinding machines. The process uses magnetism to swirl abrasive powder across the surface of a cutting tool to smooth and improve its finish. The technology was originally designed for use on stand-alone equipment, but a magnetic finishing module has been engineered to be compatible with the wheel-changing mechanism used on the WU-305 machines. This enables the machines to both grind cutting tools and to treat them bar peeling inserts via magnetic finishing in one setup.

The primary components of the finishing module are two revolving magnetic discs located on either side of an enclosure containing the abrasive powder. Each powder grain contains both abrasive and magnetic material. Once a tool is inserted into the enclosure, magnetism causes the powder to swirl around the tool and smooth its surface. This magnetic finishing technology is also being applied in aerospace and automotive applications to reduce friction between mating components such as gears and engine parts.

Schütte currently offers four powder grit sizes—400, 600, 1,000 and 1,500—which users choose based on their finish requirements. The company says the magnetic finishing process can deliver 0.02-µm Ra and 0.08-µm Rz. In addition, it is said to generate a reproducible radius of cutting tool outside edges gun drilling inserts gun drilling inserts and chipping edges between 3 µm and 50 µm.

The WU-305 machines can grind, mill, belt-sand and polish, so their coolant system has been designed to accommodate machining chips, grinding swarf and the powder used in the magnetic finishing operation.

Interconnectivity is important in establishing smart manufacturing environments in which the data shared between disparate pieces of equipment improves the speed of jobs through even simple process improvements. I learned Zoller’s philosophy while attending an open house at its U.S. center of operations in Ann Arbor, Michigan. At the event, the company invited customers into its new Industry 4.0 Technology Center to demonstrate its measuring systems and interconnected tool-storage solutions. The event included product displays and demonstrations of presetting and inspection machines as well as speeches by Zoller President Alexander Zoller and General Manager Dietmar Moll. While the speeches briefly touched on the capabilities of the measuring equipment, their main focus was on how the company’s Tool Management Solutions (TMS) Gold software facilitates data sharing across machines.

Zoller realized this interconnected approach to manufacturing by expanding on its presetting machines, which provide measurements of the length, diameter and complex cutting tool geometries. The company already had many other offerings (heat-shrinking solutions, automated inspection solutions, machines capable of complex DXF comparison and more), but it realized that the presetting machines generated data that could be useful in other applications. The presetters create “digital twins” of the tools they measure, which the company has used in secondary processes such as creating tool profiles for CAM programmers to run more accurate simulations of tool paths. In another application, the TMS software uses the digital twins to keep an accurate accounting of a shop’s tools, including their number, condition and location in the shop. Using simple inputs attached to tool-vending machines and cabinets, the shop can keep track of who has which tool, and management will have ample notice when inserts are running low.

While the company has been dedicated to metrology for decades, the development of the tool-vending and storage solutions is not a change of direction, Mr. Zoller says. “Our measuring and presetting devices were already recording most of this data for our customers,” he says. “With our vending and tool-management solutions, we are able to put this data to new use to improve our customers’ shopfloor experience.” The company simply saw that its machines were taking in useful information, and expanded its offerings to put that information to use. This is the heart of data-driven manufacturing.

Oftentimes, people hear the term “data-driven” and picture endless charts and spreadsheets filled with minute details on every metric possible to retrieve from a machine tool, but Zoller TCMT Insert demonstrates that data-driven manufacturing is the simple act of gathering information that is truly valuable and putting it to use in your shop. Machine metrics are certainly important, but so is knowing something as simple as how many carbide end mills are in stock before placing an order for more.

By using the digital twins created by its measuring devices in other applications, the company is embracing the essence of Industry 4.0: translating digital knowledge into real time savings on the shop floor. In this case, the software makes keeping track of tooling simple, and by eliminating the process of hunting down cutting tools from the workflow, the software is able to reduce the time between finishing CAM programming and starting up the machine tool to 20 minutes. Not all data in data-driven manufacturing is about the performance of the machine tool. Sometimes, the shop finds savings in improving the experience of its people.
