The CoroMill® 172 disc cutter offers a versatile and time saving solution for milling of high-quality gear profiles. Thanks to the new indexable carbide insert technology and a powerful iLock interface, the component can be machined in flexible, non-dedicated machines, such as multi-task machines and machining centers, as well as in hobbing machines.
Benefits
- Components can be completely machined in one machine and one setup – Reduced overall lead times and lower costs compared to high speed steel (HSS) tools
- One cutter body can hold inserts with different profiles, which offers versatility compared to HSS tools
- Dry machining reduces lead times and coolant costs, while contributing to a more eco- and worker-friendly environment
- Cost-efficient solution for smaller to medium batch sizes
Features
- iLock interface, in combination with modern wedge-clamping technology,
gives excellent position repeatability and quick and easy insert changing - Modern carbide grades provide higher cutting speeds compared to HSS
tools - The full profile inserts give good tool accuracy since the cutting tool profile is made up by only one insert
- Precision-ground inserts for excellent component quality
Application
- Module range 3–10
- Gear profiles in accordance with DIN 867 for gears and DIN 5480 for
splines - Internal and external machining of gears and splines
- Machining of racks
- Applications in multi-task machines, machining centers, and turning centers
- Finishing applications in hobbing machines
- Applications can be found in all industry segments, e.g., mechanical engineering, automotive, aerospace
