COST-EFFECTIVE AND STABLE
With the W1011-P, Walter is bringing a copy turning system to the market which will maximise process reliability and cost-efficiency compared to conventional systems. This is primarily thanks to its much greater stability when copy turning with relief grooves of up to 50°. Unlike VCMT and DCMT inserts, the system’s new three-edged WL25 indexable inserts are precisely secured in the toolholder by a prism in the insert seat and on the insert itself.
This ensures that the insert cannot move in the toolholder. In addition to high process reliability and precision thanks to highly accurate indexing, both when turning the inserts to the next cutting edge and when replacing them, this provides over 50% greater accuracy when compared to ISO inserts. Moreover, the system increases tool life thanks to the option to machine in both directions of movement, meaning that the two cutting edges can be used.
The copy turning system also uses WL25 indexable inserts, which further increases its cost-efficiency. Three cutting edges, rather than two cutting edges on VCMT inserts, with wear-resistant cutting tool materials in addition to precision cooling improve tool life.
The same applies to the universal usability of the W1011-P system. Its four insert types (neutral, left-hand, right-hand and full-radius versions) for different profiling angles and applications fit into the same toolholder and mean that it can be used for all ISO materials (P, M, S and K). Potential areas of application include copy turning, e.g. for drive shafts, ball bearings and valves, etc. and dynamic turning, particularly for operations which use a different or alternating machining direction. This allows users to increase cost-efficiency by up to 75% in finishing up to medium machining operations.
EXTREMELY HARD IN ORDER TO PROTECT AGAINST WEAR
The new Walter Tiger·tec® Gold WSM33G grooving grade
Walter is one of the world’s leading suppliers of precision tools for metal machining. The company is proving this once again with the patent-pending Tiger·tec® Gold WSM33G grade. The WSM33G is Walter’s first PVD grade to be specifically developed for the high loads which occur during grooving.
The cutting tool material combines third-generation TiAlN with TiSiN to form a multi-layer coating with exceptional hardness and increased toughness. A special post-treatment reduces friction and ensures a smooth surface, thereby optimising chip removal and process reliability. What’s more, the gold top layer makes it easier for users to detect wear. Walter uses the new PVD coating on single-edged SX cutting inserts with positive engagement and a self-clamping system, as well as on indexable inserts from the double-edged DX18 system, where a second prism ensures stability in the insert seat.
For users, the fact that this grade can be used with both systems means maximum versatility because all insert widths between 1.0 and 10 mm are covered. Another advantage of the Tiger·tec® Gold WSM33G grade is its adaptability, even in challenging conditions. The universal grade can be used for 75% of all applications: Grooving and parting off, groove turning and copy turning or slot milling, whether in steel (ISO P30), stainless steels (ISO M30) or materials with difficult cutting properties (ISO S30). The universal application, long tool life and high resistance of the multi-layer coating against plastic deformation and flank face wear make the WSM33G grooving inserts an incredibly productive and reliable choice.
