Iscar Offers A Completely New Line Of Slitting Cutters Applying Tang-Grip Technology And The Strength Of Sumo Tec Grades

Iscar right now offers a family of high-performance slitting tools that incorporate the convenience and security of Tang-Grip clamping with the added sturdiness of the completely new Sumo Tec insert grades.

The idea, already verified effective in Tang-Grip parting tools, has now been spread to slitting cutters. In the patented Tang-Grip clamping system, inserts are press-fit into their pockets with a specific hand tool, and are held securely in place without having the need without requiring clamps, upper jaws or set screws that can weaken the insert and block chip flow. The pocket composition utilizes cutting forces to retain the insert seated securely in position, preventing any risk of insert pull-out. The Tang-Grip clamping system also fosters more accurate slitting cuts plus increased pocket and insert lifespan.

Iscar's Sumo Tec insert grades feature a distinct post-coating treatment which extensively increases tool life and reliability.

Unveiled in late '07, the brand new Sumo Tec treatment flattens the insert's coated surface to dispose of microscopic stress raisers, decrease heat and friction and boost chip flow. The result is enhanced toughness and opposition to chipping and built-up edge, all leading to longer tool lifespan. The golden-colored flank on Sumo Tec inserts facilitates wear detection. Size for size, Tangslit cutters give more teeth than Iscar's SGSF cutters, permitting higher feed rates.

Their higher rigidity leads to straighter, better accurate cuts and reduced vibration even in large-diameter cutters. The revolutionary Tangslit TGSF cutters come in 100 to 160 mm diameters, 3 and 4 mm widths and can accommodate the exact same assortment of inserts as Tang-Grip parting tools. Additional sizes will be added.

Available Sumo Tec grades for Tangslit cutters include:
IC808, with a tough submicron substrate below a Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating, providing superb resistance to impact loads and built-up edge. This grade is suggested for slitting heat resistant alloys, austenitic stainless steel, hard alloys & carbon steel.

IC830, presenting extra toughness for heavier parting & grooving involving interrupted cuts. It is suitable for any stainless steel & high temperature alloys.

IC908, a hard, fine-grain substrate with exceptional chipping resistance, mixed with a completely new Sumo Tec TiAlN PVD coating. It is perfect for nodular or gray cast iron.

IC928 and 928A, PVD TiAlN-coated tough grades suited for stainless steel, high temperature alloys and other alloy steels. These grades are also recommended for interrupted cuts and heavy operations.

Each Tangslit and Tang-Grip inserts are attainable in J- or C-type chipformer geometries from Iscar.
