IMPROVE TOOLLIFE & PRODUCTIVITY

A customer engaged in mold repair machining was performing pocket machining on a weld-repaired mold base (HRC 35–40). With the previous tool, tool life was limited to approximately one hour, making unattended night operation impossible. To address this issue, MillQuadFeed with a Flat Breaker insert and AH8015 grade was proposed and tested. As a result, machining could be continued stably for approximately five hours without any problems, compared to only one hour previously, achieving a significant improvement in tool life and process stability.
