1. Trimming

Cutting tool life is usually extremely short because of the high strength of carbon fibre, additionally delamination and burring easily occurs during cutting, thus it is effective to use a tool that applies coating with high wear resistance.
The DFC endmills reduce burrs and delamination due to a CVD diamond coating technology in combination with an optimized tool geometry, thereby achieving a long tool life and high-quality machining.

1. Face Milling, Pocket Milling

Milling of rib type components involves removing large volume over 90 %. Thus, high efficient machining at high speed is required to reduce cost.
The AXD series achieves low cutting resistance without lowering the insert edge strength due to a helical flank and optimized of the relief angle.
Additionally, the convex cutting edge allows good chip removal, resulting in high speed and high efficiency machining.

Use of MP9120 grade is highly effective in super-high-speed cutting.

The ALIMASTER series achieves good chip removal due to the unique crosssectional shape of the flute geometry shape. This enables high speed and high efficiency machining.

The head of exchangeable head end mills iMX for machining of aluminium alloy prevents welding due to the large rake angle and the mirror treatment for improved efficiency.

1. Face Milling,Side Milling

There is a concern about chipping and fracture during high speed roughing because cutting resistance varies in the process of generating saw-toothed chip in roughing of titanium-alloy.
The combination of newly developed MP9130 grade with excellent wear resistance due to Multi-layering of the coating and JL breaker with low cutting resistance enables stable high speed roughing.

2. Drilling

Drilling performance in 15-5PH precipitation hardening stainless steel.
Abnormal damage such as chipping and fracture on the cutting edge occurs easily because of the high strength of 15-5PH which is often used for an aircraft component. The MMS drill series enables stable machining due to an excellent coating technology in combination with an optimized tool geometry.

3. Rough Pocket Milling

Abnormal damage such as chipping and fracture on the cutting edge occurs easily because of the high strength of 15-5PH which is often used for an aircraft component. The APX series enables stable machining due to an excellent coating technology in combination with an optimized tool geometry.

1. Side Milling, Pocket Milling

Adhesion and concentration of heat on the cutting edge occur easily during milling titanium alloys because of the low thermal conductivity, thus it is important to remove heat on the cutting edge efficiently and to evacuate chips smoothly. The Coolstar series offers optimum cooling effect and chip removal due to the multi coolant holes and unique flute shape. Stable machining became possible for difficult-to-cut material applications.

1. Finish Profile Milling

When machining Ni-based alloys which have low thermal conductivity and are subjected to work hardening, well-balanced cutting edge and superior coating grade are required.
The latest SMART MIRACLE vibration control ball nose end mills have variable pitch geometry with newly designed radius-cutting-edges to reduce vibration.

1. Drilling

Adhesion and concentration of heat on the cutting edge occur easily during drilling titanium alloys because of the low thermal conductivity thus it is important to remove heat on the cutting edge efficiently and to evacuate chips smoothly. MNS drill provides excellent cooling performance and chip discharge performance due to the arrangement of unique coolant hole and the employment of optimum groove shape, thereby achieving stable machining even when drilling titanium alloy.

2. Finish Profile Milling

When profile machining titanium alloy, chipping and abnormal damage of the cutting edge can occur and vibration is easily generated.
Use of a tool which is designed for vibration control is effective.
The latest SMART MIRACLE vibration control ball nose end mills have variable pitch geometry with newly designed radius-cutting-edges to reduce vibration.

3. Rough Milling

When rough machining titanium alloy, chipping and abnormal damage of the cutting edge easily occurs if low rigidity tools are used. Using high rigidity tools and low cutting resistance inserts are recommended. Stable machining is possible because the VFX series has a high rigidity design and cutting resistance is lower due to the convex curve cutting edge and the V-formation of the clamping face.
