RF 100 Programme 2010 Customer PresentationDate: February 10, 2010
Difficulties in a milling process Situation in a milling application • Vibration in a milling process cause: • Bad work piece surface • short tool life • extreme high noise level • high load on spindle • bad cost / efficiency relationship
Difficulties in a milling process Target • creating a tool which does not vibrate • high process security • usable in a very large RPM-range. • less RPM- adjustment necessary • usable in a much higher Feed-Rate-Range (high performance milling) • Increased metal removal rate, reduced cycle times
Difficulties in a milling process Solution: RF 100 • General Style / Geometry Basics: • different Helix angles • uneven pitch • micro edge protection • optimized flute profile • materialspecific coatings
RF 100 High Performance End Mills Geometry in detail (un-even helix) • 2 different helix angles create an un-even pitch • Different pitch on all cutting- levels
RF 100 High Performance End Mills Geometry in detail (micro edge protection) • Very stable cutting edge through chamfer and lip-correction • Advantages: • Increased tool-life because of reduced wear • Increased feed-rates • because of more edge stability • Perfect suitable for ramp-milling or plunging
RF 100 High Performance End Mills Geometry in detail (flat roughing profile) • optimized roughing profile with new 3 radii design • Advantages • Increased tool life because of less wear • Increased Feed-rate because of more corner stability • No additional finishing necessary; Work piece quality is Ra = 2-3 µm 3-Radien-Design
RF 100 High Performance End Mills Advantages (summarisation) • Reduced vibrations allow: • higher feed rates • longer tool life • better surface quality • roughing, finishing and • slotting with 1 tool “High quantities” = Large batch sizes “Low quantities” = Small batch sizes
RF 100 High Performance End Mills deduction of tools in a milling application Standard RF 100 + + = + • Argument: roughing, slotting & finishing = 1 tool !
RF 100 High Performance End Mills 2 Basic Geometries • with plain cutting edge • (Type U, A, F, A, Ti, VA, H) • with flat roughing profile • (Type U/HF, VA/NF, A/WF)
RF 100 High Performance End Mills Advantages / Disadvantages
RF 100 High Performance End Mills Performance in comparison • RF 100 U (#3732) can run at the highest possible feed rate. • At the same feed-rate, the Rougher RF 100 U/HF (#3508) requires a much lower power, stability, torque, etc. The RF 100 U/HF closes the gap between the RF 100 U‘s (5535) fine pitch Roughers (#5504).
RF 100 High Performance End Mills „U“ or „U/HF“ – Which is the “better” tool? • Vc – Values for both tools are identical. • Vf – Values of the Rougher are about 30% lower. • RF 100 U with ap = 1,0 x d • RF 100 U/HF with ap = 1,5 – 2,0 x d • The Argument for the RF 100 U/HF the metal removal rate (Q). This means RF 100 U/HF is running with a lower feed rate, but with a much higher depth of cut (ae). Feed-Rate „U/HF“ is lower; metal-removal-rate (Q) is higher.
RF 100 High Performance End Mills RF 100 Application at “field” customer • Tool: RF 100 U 16 mm, # 5735 • Machine: SK40, 12 KW and max. 8.000 RPM • Application & Material: C45 - Roughing 1 x d (ap = 1 x d / ae = 0,5 x d) • Cutting data (see Cat.): Vc = 230 m/min. – fz = 0,11 mm/z • Possible problems: • Machine stops • tool is pulled out of the tool holder • chips cannot be removed • Possible Solution: (tool change) • RF 100 U (#3732) RF 100 U/HF (#3508) with roughing profile • Reduction of fz (mm/z) and increasing ap from 1 x d on 2 x d • Metal Removal Rate (Q) increases
RF 100 High Performance End Mills What to do on an existing process? • in the first try (step) a RF 100 with plain cutting edges should • be tried (e.g. RF 100 U #5535) • on “unstable” machines, bad coolant, long reach, etc. a RF 100 • with roughing profile should be used. (e.g. RF 100 U/HF) • on existing customers, who are using a RF 100 U successfully, the new Rougher will not work “better”! • the RF 100 U/HF is also interesting for all new customers, also for those who are using HSS-PM Roughing End Mills.
