Iscar recently released several different drilling innovations to meet their customers needs. These latest products are Sumocham Drill, DR-DH and Deep Drills. Drawing off of their skill Iscar has come up with new and innovative ways to expand productivity for the end user. Here is a little bit about these innovative products, and how they will serve the end user of these products.

SUMOCHAM Drills

ISCAR's new SUMOCHAM drill family is an advanced development of the very effective CHAMDRILL and CHAMDRILLJET drill families. The drill features twisted coolant nozzles with indexable drilling heads which are available in different head configurations for numerous material groups. SUMOCHAM drills can be used on milling centers or lathes.

SUMOCHAM features four different standard drill head geometries, designed for unmatchable performance and high reliability. The drill head is made with a sharp cutting edge and polished flutes. SUMOCHAM drilling heads are obtainable in the diameter range of 8 to 25.9 mm. The drill head has ground flutes for smooth, uninterrupted chip flow and a ground gash for enhanced penetration.

The drill shank design is according to DIN 9766 standard, with obtainable drilling depth to diameter ratios of 1.5XD, 3xD, 5XD and 8xD. All drill bodies showcase coolant through holes. The accurate cylinder added to the clamping portion improves rigidity and reduces internal stresses. The rotation stopper planes are precisely ground, to improve the control on the drilling head position and support, increasing tool performance and life. ISCAR's innovative SUMOCHAM drill line will allow for longer tool life and higher productivity.

DR-DH Deep Drills

DR-DH drills can achieve drilling depth-to-diameter ratio of 7XD and up. Engineered to be used on standard horizontal milling centers, turning, and multi-task machines. Use of supplementary machine and setup can be avoided. They will be available as semi-standard product in a diameter range of 25.4 to 69.5 mm (1.00 - 2.73").

Two versions will be available:
A Single Flute DR-DH-31.65-0350NC-2FS is a very stiff tool complete with a patented chip gullet design. It was tailored for easily cut materials like cast iron and low alloyed steel.

A Double Flute DR-DH-31.65-0350NC-2FD has a double chip gullet for upgraded chip flow. It was engineered for drilling gummy materials such as non-alloyed steel and high temperature alloys.

ISCAR DEEP HOLE DRILLS

With ISCAR's new solid carbide deep hole drills, you can safely drill up to 22 times diameter and attain bottom10% faster than with other solid carbide drills - and six times faster than a HSS drill. This ability can speed up a great number of high-volume operations. The deep-hole drilling station no longer has to slow down a transfer line or stop it completely because a drill broke.

Different target applications include deep holes for automotive, hydraulic blocks and die & mold work. A combination of features help the twist drills to cut faster, straighter,deeper, last longer and evacuate chips more readily. A special high-strength core creates a more enduring drill point and allows for deeper flutes, enlarging the exit path for chips.

The drill tip themselves have a 140 positive-point, four-margin design to preserve the edge, decrease thrust forces and aid centering and tracking. A post-coat polishing method on the flutes, margins and cutting edges decreases friction and torque that can easily snap a drill.

The brand new drills are available in normal diameters ranging from 5 to 10 mm, in 20 and 22 length to diameter ratios. Special sizes are offered on request. All are made of IC908, a 10% cobalt submicron carbide grade, and comes with a TiAlN PVD coating, and can be reconditioned.

These are just some of the latest innovations coming from Iscar.

Iscar Recently Releases Numerous Original Lines To Enlarge Their Family Of Milling Cutters
Iscar recently released a new family of High Speed Milling adjustable endmills and facemills that will improve milling of aluminum, non-metallics, cast iron and hardened steel. This should prove especially useful in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Completely New End Mills Coming From Iscar Will Expand Productivity While Lowering Costs
Manufacturers and die & mold shops can banish chatter problems in numerous milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree end mills. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern eliminates harmonic vibration, the primary source of chatter. This enables faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling.

Push Pull Testing For Building Industry With Calibrated Measuring Instruments. Mechanical Load Testing Methods For On Site Evidence To Testing Standards.
Push Pull Testing for the Railway industry for proof of reliable anchor fixings. Calibrated push pull force gauges are used for stress load testing along with tensile strength pull testing procedures. Proof of load testing undertaken, measured, recorded in a reliable and standard way to BS5080 Part 1 standards.

A Couple Of The Many Improvements In Carbide Inserts Coming From Iscar
Iscar is introducing a new unique milling system with tangential, clamped, butterfly-shaped LNKX carbide inserts. The butterfly-shaped insert has significant advantages compared to the current flat, square shapes. The new geometry has more cutting edges, positive rake face, reduced cutting forces resulting in higher performance.
