The new XFeed – High-feed Productivity

The solution for the highest level of demands in HFC processes 3 teeth with small tool diam- eters for machining soft and hardened steels Increasing productivity With the new XFeed tool, the cutting edges form a radi - ally and axially curved arc on a spherical segment. As a result, the chips are deliberately directed outwards during the chip formation process. This form of cutting edge guidance makes it possible to run high feed rates with deep cutting depths while still maintaining remarkable process stability. The central cooling channel ensures sys - tematic cooling of the cutting edges, and the coolant also quickly and reliably conducts the chips out of the contact zone. This creates almost perfect conditions for obtaining good surfaces and a long tool life. The face radius, in combination with the sickle-shaped cutting edge, enables low-vibration machining of hard - ened but also soft steels. The number of teeth, which is matched to the tool diameter, means a high level of per - formance can be achieved with all the tools in this family. The short cutting edges also mean the tools are rigid, which in turn improves their vibration behavior. XFeed tools can also be reconditioned multiple times by the FRAISA ReTool® service. Final contour The new cutting edge geometry of the XFeed tools adapts even better to the geometry of the lateral surface area. The subsequent finishing process can therefore be carried out even more efficiently than with conventional HFC tools.
