 Press Releases

  • When machining heat-resistant materials like titanium and super alloys, two key factors are crucial: high-quality tools and targeted coolant supply. The additively manufactured MaxiMill – 211-DC milling system demonstrates how proper nozzle positioning can make a significant difference.

    Why It Matters:

    • Enhanced Temperature Control: Essential for machining tough materials.
    • Extended Tool Life: Reduces downtime and increases efficiency.

    Challenges in Machining Titanium and Super Alloys: Machining these materials is tough and often requires innovative strategies to cut costs and time. Despite high-speed machining, ensuring process reliability is challenging. Professionals often need to try new strategies to make the process financially viable. This is where the 3D-printed MaxiMill – 211-DC comes in.

    Benefits of 3D Printing and Precision Cooling:

    • Optimized Coolant Placement: Ensures top-quality results, especially for heat-resistant materials.
    • Innovative Manufacturing: 3D printing allows for designs that are impossible with traditional methods.

    Key Features:

    • Precision Cooling: The base body of the MaxiMill – 211-DC milling cutter is designed to optimize coolant flow directly to the cutting surface. This complex design is only possible with additive manufacturing.
    • Compatibility: Works with standard adapters with through-coolant supply, offering the same performance as direct cooling for turning tools.

    Maximized Service Life: The MaxiMill – 211-DC offers a 60% longer tool life compared to tools with standard cooling. This means smoother machining of titanium and super alloys, more secure manufacturing processes, and reduced tool usage.

    Summary: The MaxiMill – 211-DC is a game-changer for machining heat-resistant materials, offering enhanced temperature control, extended tool life, and innovative design through 3D printing. This advanced milling system ensures top-quality results and efficient, reliable processes.

  • CERATIZIT has enhanced its OptiLine Series of solid-carbide end mills by launching a versatile six-flute end mill. These end mills are optimized for various materials, machining strategies, and part applications, with the new six-flute design specifically tailored for titanium and super alloys (ISO-S).

    Key Benefits:

    • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of materials and applications.
    • Optimized Performance: Designed for titanium and super alloys, ensuring reliable machining.

    Advanced Engineering: The OptiLine six-flute end mill is engineered from the ground up, featuring a premium substrate and advanced tool geometry. Its asymmetrical variable helix and variable index flute configuration enhance stability during cutting operations. Additionally, chip splitters are designed for applications involving 2.5 x D cutting lengths. Refined cutting edges and CERATIZIT’s Dragonskin coating technology improve chip control and reduce adhesion, resulting in longer tool life.

    Why It Matters:

    • Enhanced Stability: Asymmetrical flute design ensures each tooth operates at different helix angles, providing stability when machining at varying angles.
    • Improved Chip Control: Dragonskin coating technology reduces adhesion, extending tool life.

    Customer-Centric Design: To meet the needs of U.S. industry sectors, the new six-flute end mill will be available in inch assortments. OptiLine inch-type end mills, including the new six-flute, are manufactured at CERATIZIT’s facility in Sacramento, California.

    Summary: CERATIZIT’s new six-flute end mill in the OptiLine Series offers versatility, optimized performance for titanium and super alloys, enhanced stability, and improved chip control. This innovative tool is designed to meet the diverse needs of U.S. industries, ensuring reliable and efficient machining processes.
