small indexable tools Miniature Indexable Endmills and Drills to meet Industry 4.0 Challenges Engineering is all about evolving products and solutions which are more effective in their performance, easier to use, and affordable. Machine tool industry is no different. Imagine the machines which were offered in the early 19th century. One lathe for big and small machining parts. One milling machine for all sizes and types of components. As of recent years, you can buy machines to suit your component size and material. Machining a component which would have taken about a day a few decades ago, can be machined in no time today. This is possible due to evolution of smaller footprint machines with better stability combined with high speeds and feed rates. Following this trend of small CNC machining, Tungaloy has been working on small indexable tools for milling and drilling, adapting itself to the new generation of CNC machines. The new miniature tools work effectively with high-speed spindles on a small CNC machine. The advantage of using Tungaloy’s fine pitch tools with optimized cutting edges is exceptional productivity. Why shrink the tools: Smaller CNC machine tools, with smaller taper, high spindle speeds offering high table feeds. This means requirement of lower tool weight and balanced tool assemblies. Multi-axis Swiss CNC machine manufacturers, with space constraint, need small tools. This space was mostly filled by Solid Carbide tools. Miniature indexable tools offer greater flexibility to users. Near net shape forgings / castings and sintered parts. Only semi-finish / finish operations to achieve good surface finish and geometric accuracies.
