World’s Toughest Cutoff Tool
04.09.2015
At IMTS 2014, ISCAR (a member of Partners in THINC) debuted what is considered to be the toughest cutoff tool on the market – the Tang-Grip IQ system. This tool provides the economic advantages of the flat top blade with 4 pockets and the integral tool with 2 pockets, and offers the most economical price per pocket. Watch this video, featuring Andrew Benson (Chief Marketing Officer and Co-General Manager for ISCAR) to see a demonstration of the Tang-Grip IQ’s toughness. To make this a fitting demonstration, three ingredients were needed:
- An interesting and difficult workpiece – the video shows two: railroad rail, and a sledgehammer head
- A great machine tool: Okuma’s LU3000EX, which has proven to be very reliable and consistent for this tough demo
- A uniquely tough part-off tool: this is the Tang-Grip IQ system
Tang-Grip IQ System – Uniquely Tough
What makes the Tang-Grip IQ system unique is:
- 35 mm high blades, as opposed to the 32 mm industry standard, providing extreme rigidity
- Pocketing design, providing additional pocket advantages
- Economy of four pockets on the blade
- Blades and tools feature high rigidity and are capable of bearing heavy tooth load (high feed)
- No chip obstruction under any possible machining conditions
- Free chip flow provides excellent surface finish
- Excellent surface straightness due to high blade rigidity
Watch the video and see that’s possible when you combine a tough tool and a tough machine working on a tough workpiece.
