Revolutionizing aluminum machining: The MD90 super fine pitch cutter
High efficiency, lightweight design, tailored solutions for modern manufacturing needs.
- Industrial Tools
Kyoto/Sunds − Kyocera Corporation announced the launch and commercialization of the MD90 super fine pitch cutter, a new milling tool specifically designed for machining aluminum parts in industries such as the automotive sector.
In recent years, there has been a growing demand for lightweight, high-strength aluminum components, driven by advancements in vehicle fuel efficiency and the rise of electric vehicles (EVs). Additionally, the increasing use of smaller machines in manufacturing sites has created a need for cutters that can efficiently and effectively process machines aluminum parts. The MD90 not only meets these needs but also offers potential cost savings through its high efficiency and quality, making it an attractive option for manufacturers.
The MD90 features a 24-insert design with a diameter of 125 mm, enabling highly efficient and high-quality machining of aluminum components.
MD90 main features
- Maximize machining efficiency. The unique shape of the holder ensures high rigidity, even with super fine pitch specifications. This design reduces chattering and enables highly efficient machining with a table feed of Vf ≥ 24,000 mm/min.
- Lightweight aluminum holders. Lightweight aluminum holders are also available, making them suitable for small machines (BT30).
- Deliver high-quality production. PCD (polycrystalline diamond) inserts are specifically engineered to reduce burr, achieving surface roughness of 0.8 μm Ra or less. The double coolant holes and streamlined chip pocket structure offer excellent chip control performance, ensuring smooth and precise machining and long tool life.
- Customization. Every application presents unique requirements. For this reason, the MD90 is available with customized configuration options. Cutting diameters range from ø20 to 350 mm, and the cutting-edge geometry can be precisely tailored to suit specific operational demands. This level of flexibility ensures optimal utilization of the tool’s full potential.
