MillQuadFeed09 – Machine tool components – U type inserts

IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY

In pocket machining of machine tool components, chatter occurred with a competitor’s modular cutter. Although a solid carbide shank was used, the long overhang (L/D = 5) led to insufficient rigidity. To address this, we proposed UER-type inserts with a low approach angle for improved chatter suppression. As a result, chatter was eliminated and machining efficiency increased by seven times, significantly enhancing productivity through stable and high-efficiency machining.
