Hitachi Tool ofrece el programa más amplio de herramientas para trabajos de alta velocidad en el sector de fabricación de herramientas y moldes.
With its D-EPDx diamond-coated end mills, Hitachi has solved a fundamental
problem. More and more specialist toolmakers are switching from heavyweight
copper to significantly lighter graphite in manufacturing sinker electrodes because
graphite enables them to produce bigger and more complex electrodes.
However, graphite’s abrasive qualities have left them far from satisfied with the
tool life and workpiece surfaces.
The new D-EPDx solid carbide end mills open up a new chapter in high-speed cutting operations – for two reasons. First, the thick layer of diamonds is mounted on a specially developed substrate that is ground to an undersize. This guarantees extremely close tool tolerances. Second, the HD coating ensures that abrasion is much delayed and then only occurs slowly, which virtually removes any risk of suddenly exceeding tolerance limits.
Hitachi supplies the high-speed tools as two-edged ball mills with a diameter of 1-10 mm and as two-edged torus mills with a diameter of 1-4 mm. For diameters of 6-10 mm the torus mills are supplied in a four-edged version. D-EPDx tools are extremely robust and their recessed design allows them to be used for machining depths of up to 30 times their nominal diameter.
