Due to the ever increasing complexity of parts, over the last few years ISCAR has launched many deep grooving / parting solutions, mainly for the heavy duty and aerospace industries. Some of these industries' applications require tools with very long overhangs when compared to the width and height of the blade. Such tools in a conventional design format tend to cause vibrations, which result in unbearable levels of noise, poor surface quality and shorter insert tool life.
While many anti-vibration tools exist in the market for internal machining applications, ISCAR is the only company that offers anti-vibration blades for external applications. The company's vast experience and unmatched designing skills have enabled ISCAR to produce an ingenious damping mechanism that is small enough to be assembled onto blades, and created the optimal blade for a large range of overhangs. This unique ISCAR damping mechanism consists of two plates connected by a screw and fixed to the blade by an O-ring. Each blade is pre-calibrated by ISCAR for optimal performance at an overhang of 100 mm. Even though this groundbreaking new arrangement is suitable for a wide range of overhangs, if needed, the end-user can easily adjust and fine tune the calibration of the tool for optimal results. Even when employed in shallow grooving applications, where standard conventional tools can be used, the new anti-vibration blades provide a wide range of benefits in terms of surface quality and inset tool life.
An example of the benefits gained through the use of the new damping mechanism blades is a deep grooving application where a long tool overhang of 70 mm was applied to a 200 mm workpiece. Outstanding results were achieved. The insert's tool life performance was 4 times greater when mounted on an ISCAR anti-vibration blade for a 20mm grooving application. The machined component's surface finish proved to be excellent and overall productivity was dramatically increased.
In addition to offering the company's standard blades, ISCAR also specializes in special tailor made tools available in many shapes that feature an effective anti-vibration mechanism for all types of groove-turn applications.
