ISCAR introduces new anti-vibration blades, designed to eliminate vibrations in deep grooving applications.
Due to the increased demand for deep grooving applications that often tend to cause vibrations, ISCAR has designed new WHISPERLINE blades for deep grooving and parting off operations. The new blades eliminate vibrations, improve surface quality and increase the insert’s tool life.
Vibrations occur as a result of several factors: machine and clamping system rigidity, part shape, cutting tools, insert design and cutting parameters.
In many cases, especially in deep grooving applications, it is not possible to design cutting tools that avoid vibrations in a conventional way.
ISCAR’s new WHISPERLINE blades feature a damping unit that absorbs vibrations and enables a stable machining process even at high cutting conditions. The damping unit is located under the insert pocket. It consists of two plates situated in a rhombic frame, connected by a screw that pushes the plates against the walls through an O-ring.
The WHISPERLINE blades reach a new range of grooving depths at which other conventional blades cannot function and enable machining at higher cutting conditions, which increases productivity. Fewer vibrations dramatically increase insert tool life, and this advantage can be used also at lower grooving depths.
The blades feature an excellent surface finish, while internal frontal cooling (K-Type) improves insert tool life and chip evacuation.
