Iwaki / Japan, 18. November 2013 The market leading milling line from the Tungaloy Corporation has now been added with the new TungFlex modular mill series. The new addition of the TungFlex line brings in more flexibility to the customers with its interchangeable milling heads together with the adaptors.
The new lines have been introduced to reduce tooling costs and inventory for the end-user while significantly improving flexibility and reducing overall set-up times. The system has been developed primarily for the general machining and die & mould industries with the TungFlex series being targeted at machining steels, stainless steel, cast irons, hardened steels and superalloys.
The flexibility of the modular system enables the customer to not only change head types, but also change from steel to carbide shanks for specific applications. Additionally, with monoblock adaptors customers can vary the length of the cutting tool to suit the application. This feature also enables the customer to minimise costs by salvaging the carbide shanks when tool breakages occur.
