MillQuadFeed09 – Cylinder head die – Flat Top Inserts
IMPROVE TOOL LIFE & PRODUCTIVITY
In contour machining of die-casting molds, poor machinability limited conventional tool life to about 2 hours, requiring three tools for 6-hour nighttime runs.
We proposed high-depth, low-feed conditions using the MillQuadFeed09 flat-top insert.
With its strong and reliable cutting edge, a single tool completed the full operation.
As a result, tool life 3.0 times and machining efficiency increased 4.7 times, ensuring stable performance.
