Gangmilling – staggered

Gangmilling Displaced mounting

Gangmilling
Gangmilling is a milling operation where more than one slot in
the workpiece is machined at the same time.
Displaced mounting
Displacing the cutters half a pitch in relation to each other is
useful to avoid vibration. It also reduces the need for a flywheel.
B
For CoroMill 331, double keyways are available in cutter diam-
eters 125 mm with an axial width of 10-15 mm and cutter diam-
eters 160 and upward in all axial widths. Bores with keyways,
mounting diameter 40 and larger, have double keyways and can
therefore be displaced when they are gang mounted.

B Cutters mounted with bore having a keyway can be adjusted so
they can be mounted together to machine wider slots. In order
to mount the cutters together the hub on one side of each cut-
ter has to be ground as shown in the adjoining picture.

Two standard cutters mounted together. Cutter (1) has the hub
C as standard on the left side and the hub is ground on the cutter
right side. Cutter (2) is reversed and has the hub as standard
on its right side and the hub is ground on the left side. In the
middle (1+2) the cutters are mounted together with the ground
hubs facing each other. The hubs should be ground until 1.2
mm is left. The inserts should be set 0.9 mm out from the
D ground hub, to overlap correctly.

Heavy duty T-MAX 45 milling cutter

T-MAX 45 is a system of adjustable coarse differential pitch
or close pitch facemills suitable for high metal removal in
powerful milling machines or machining centres.

The 45° entering angle and the strong inserts allow the cutters
to be used under demanding conditions, including long spindle A
overhangs.

The 6.4 mm thick inserts offer excellent cutting edges with body
security, and provide a maximum cutting depth of 12 mm. The
improved reliability, due to reduced risk of cutter failure, ensures
minimum machine downtime. The inserts also have 2 mm par- B
allel lands and secondary cutting edges which provide an effec-
tive back cutting facility.

The wiper insert is suitable for finish machining, but it is impor-

tant that a wiper insert seat is fitted to ensure the position of
the wiper edge is secure. C
When the basic setting of the cutter has been fixed, the wiper
edge will be most effective, and vibration avoided, if the axial
depth of cut does not exceed 0.5 mm.

The Auto and Auto Cap are extra close pitch facemills pri-
marily intended for roughing and semi finishing of cast iron
components.
A
The large number of inserts enables large table feeds giving very
good machining economy.

Sandvik AUTO cutters use triangular inserts which are available in

several different geometries, optimized for different operations.

All of the inserts are double sided, providing six right-hand and
six left-hand cutting edges. The large number of cutting edges
provide excellent tooling economy.

The T-Line milling cutters are developed for machining cast iron
and steel components. They offer good security and economy C
through the use of tangentially mounted inserts. The R260.75
facemill utilizes LNE 323 style inserts.

When the demands on surface finish are more acute the

LNE 323-PL1 inserts with parallel land are recommended.The

CoroMill Plura solid carbide milling cutter

The programme of CoroMill Plura solid carbide endmills in-

cludes tool shapes for most operations, in diameters ranging
A from 0.4 to 25 mm.

CoroMill Plura has been specifically designed for HSM applica-

tions, with tool geometries and a new grade family profile pro-
viding high productivity in all workpiece materials.

B Following the introduction of GC1610 grade for applications in

hard workpieces and the general grades GC1620 and GC1630.
The evolution of the Plura family continues with another grade,
GC1640.

GC1640 is a grade with a Coromant unique PVD coating and a

C new, very tough substrate based on the Pluratech technology. With
this grade, the CoroMill Plura system provides solutions for de-
manding operations like machining under unstable conditions.

The advanced machining capabilities of Plura and the high pre-

cision CoroGrip holding chucks are a perfect match. CoroGrip’s
design provides clamping forces in excess of anything possible
D
from shrink fit holders or hydraulic chucks, and a level of high
stability which makes it the first choice for High Speed Machin-
ing (HSM).

Keyway slotting
For this particular operation, some specific guidance can be
given in addition to the general recommendations for milling of
E straight surfaces and grooving.
Due to the direction of the cutting forces and the tendency of
the tool to bend, a slot milled in a single step will not have a
perfectly square form.
The best accuracy and productivity will be achieved if the op-
eration employs an undersized endmill, and is divided into Key slot milling in two steps.

Generally this tool should be first choice.
Always use the shortest possible tool protrusion. This tool has a differential pitch
to improve stability in roughing applications. If there are problems due to high axial
forces, try an endmill with four cutting edges and 30° helix. If the chip space is not
sufficient, try an endmill with three cutting edges and 45° helix (in weak materials
and large ap an endmill with four cutting edges and 45° helix might work). For

A specialised CoroMill Plura endmill with a cutting geometry designed for use in
turn-mill operations. Two of the four cutting edges cut in both radial and axial direc-
tions, while the remaining two cut mainly in the radial direction.
For best performance, the endmill’s axis of rotation should not align exactly with
the workpiece’s central axis. Instead the endmill should be offset, and sit further
round in the workpiece’s rotational cycle.
