LEUCO Multi-tooth cutter VHW
Maximum tool life, perfect performance
With the new LEUCO multi-tooth cutter VHW, LEUCO is setting a new record for tool life in machining of GRP. In a market test, a customer increased the tool life by a significant 400% compared to their previous milling cutter when milling an control cabinet. The customer benefits in many ways. In addition to the increase in tool life, machine downtimes for cutter changes and the cost of procuring new cutters are reduced.
In a fully automated milling process, robots process 5 mm thick GRP components with the utmost precision. Thanks to optimally matched machining parameters - 8,000 rpm and a feed rate of 2.5 m/min - the 6 mm all-rounder made of rugged solid tungsten carbide (ID 187812) unleashes its full potential.
Its unique design with 8 unevenly distributed cutting edges and innovative chip breakers minimizes vibrations and oscillations. The result: extremely smooth running, perfect cutting quality and maximum efficiency. The CM 010 multi-tooth cutter VHW is in stock at LEUCO in diameters of 6 or 8 mm, each with a pushing or pulling cut. Under the production conditions for the aforementioned GRP control cabinet elements, an uncoated milling cutter was ideal for achieving maximum tool life. For other ambient conditions, the optional diamond coating available from LEUCO can help to increase the tool life even further. LEUCO's tool experts will be happy to check your conditions and recommend the right multi-tooth cutter.
