Economic machining: innovative developments of a classic
CERATIZIT extends the MaxiMill 211 basic program
CERATIZIT S. A., Mamer, Luxembourg (headquarters), June 2010.
The further development of cutting tools has decisively contributed to the fact that high-performance materials have established themselves in many fields. For many years MaxiMill cutters have supported the metal-working industry with a variety of tooling solutions suitable for non ferrous metals and non metals, stainless or heat resistant steels as well as titanium alloys. Carbide specialist CERATIZIT has now extended the successful MaxiMill 211 program.
In the automotive and aerospace industry there is a clear tendency towards light constructions. The goal in this context is the desire for more efficient motors to satisfy the increasingly severe environmental standards and to simultaneously save expensive fuel. For this purpose a more efficient combustion process is indispensable where the temperature in the motor has to be increased and weight reduced. The result is the growing significance of high-performance materials which are time-consuming and cost-intensive in terms of machining, although, until now, they have never been considered as exotic materials.
Thanks to the long-standing experience in the field of material science with a focus on difficult to machine material, CERATIZIT has become a specialist in the field of the machining of demanding materials. Custom-made tooling solutions from CERATIZIT help when machining exotic materials: for example, the successful MaxiMill 211 program, a system which covers a large application area and guarantees economic machining.
In order to adapt MaxiMill 211 even more to a specific milling task, CERATIZIT has extended the basic program of the tooling line. In this way it is also possible to machine exotic materials of the next generation more efficiently: new alloy variants in cast iron, titanium, super alloys and refractory metals. Special inserts considerably enhance process security, even with maximum cutting depths.
Extensions of the basic program
MaxiMill 211-07 offers CERATIZIT a universal tool with small stable inserts preferably for use on fast rotating spindles with a small torque moment. These small milling cutters are particularly well-suited for driven tools such as specific lathes as a substitute for expensive solid carbide cutters (also < 25 mm!).
MaxiMill 211-15 represents the best compromise between optimal stability and a maximum number of teeth and is suitable for very high metal removal rates which are necessary for high-performance milling and ramping. With the large stable inserts MaxiMill 211-15 reaches cutting depths up to 14 mm without problems.
Cutting edges positioned in a helix on the tool shank, together with the multiple teeth of the shoulder and slot milling cutters 211-11K and 211-15K, ensure reduced vibration and extremely high metal removal rates. The optimized coolant supply enables full-slot milling at large cutting depths and is therefore particularly useful for rough milling.
