The Role of Hard Turning Inserts in Modern Precision Machining

Image
Modern manufacturing demands cutting tools that can cut across the toughest of materials that can be accurate, consistent and product efficiently. With the trend towards using hardened steels and other challenging materials, conventional machining may not always offer the right balance of productivity and tool life. This is where Hard Turning Inserts have come into the picture of modern machining. Hard turning is a machining process that is applied to a part that has been hardened usually after heat treating. By using the appropriate tooling, manufacturers can obtain very good dimensional accuracy and surface quality, and may eliminate the possibility of any further grinding operations. The WNGA insert is a robust and well-suited geometry for precision turning, and is often recommended for use in turning applications. The choice of insert depends on the type of material, the hardness, the condition of the machine, the cutting conditions and the desired surface finish. Hard Turning – W...

Learn the basics of hard machining without grinding with CBN Inserts: The Complete Guide

Image
  Manufacturers have been replacing carbide tools with CBN inserts since it was discovered that carbide tools could burn out half-way through a batch of hardened steel parts. Cubic Boron Nitride, the second hardest substance in the world after diamond, is the answer for shops requiring to cut hardened metals quickly and with precision, but not having to grind every part first. In this guide, you'll learn what CBN inserts are, how they operate, their role in your process, and how to select the optimal insert for your application. CBN Inserts are what? CBN inserts are tips of cutting tools that are fabricated from polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN), a synthetic super hard material embedded in a tungsten carbide base plate. The PCBN layer is extremely hard and heat resistant, and the carbide base is tough enough to endure the shock and vibration in actual machining. CBN inserts, unlike conventional carbide or ceramic tooling, are specifically designed to take on one task: to e...

Hard Turning Inserts & CBN Turning Inserts: The Smart Choice for Modern Precision Machining

Image
  In today's fast-moving manufacturing industry, precision, efficiency, and durability are critical factors that determine success. High precision and precision manufacturing technologies are applied in the industry for the production of high precision components in an economical manner, such as automotive, aerospace, mining, bearing manufacturing and heavy engineering. When materials get tougher, and production volumes rise, the performance of conventional cutting tools will not meet the manufacturers' expectations. These can have significant effects on productivity and profit if the tools are in excess, are frequently changed, and if they are not achieving consistent surface finishes. This has led to modern machining operations being revolutionized by Hard turning inserts and CBN turning inserts. These hi-tech cutting tools deliver outstanding performance when working with hardened materials, enabling manufacturers to achieve greater precision, longer tool life and produc...
