Horn presents its new products for materials machining

HORN will present its latest innovations at the upcoming SIANE trade show.

DS milling cutters up to 4xD, expansion of the multi-flute milling range
With the solid carbide tools of the DS milling cutter system, HORN offers a cutting-edge product catalog for machining materials such as copper, graphite, aluminum, plastics, fiber-reinforced plastics, steels and hardened steels, titanium and superalloys. Roughing, corner radius, full radius, double radius and multi-flute cutters are available from stock with cutting diameters ranging from 2mm to 16mm. Micro milling cutters are available in diameters greater than or equal to 0,2mm. Tool shanks in h5 quality stand out for their axial accuracy of 0,005 mm and are therefore ideally suited to finishing operations.

The know-how gained from a multitude of applications is reflected in the expansion of the multi-flute milling range. With a wider working range from 2 to 20 mm, finishing cutters with 6 to 8 flutes are available with machining heights of 2x, 3x and 4x diameters, in a sharp-edged version or with corner radii of 0,2/0,5 and 1,0mm. The finely ground chip flutes ensure good chip evacuation, and the optimized geometry produces excellent surfaces, for example Ra greater than or equal to 0,1 micron for 42CrMo4. When machining steels, cast iron and difficult-to-machine materials, the geometry ensures uniform wear behavior and the new coating improves tool life.

Tools with CVD-D tips
With the standard tool concepts available on the market, it is not possible to drill, groove, turn or mill elements and contours in sintered carbide without prior or subsequent treatment. For such applications, CVD-D tipped tools offer real advantages. Their geometrically defined cutting edges are adapted to specific machining tasks, from sharp and rounded edges to positive and negative chamfers. Thanks to the optimal, geometrically optimized cutting edges, CVD-D diamond can be used for every type of machining, from roughing to finishing and superfinishing. As the tools allow precise contour machining in the micron range, they offer substantial cost advantages as well as increased manufacturing flexibility compared with grinding and erosion processes, for example. In terms of roughness, polishability and corrosion behavior, the surface structure is also superior to, or at least equivalent to, these two methods.

DCG micro thread milling cutters for M1 to M2,5
DCG solid carbide cutters have proven their worth for years in producing threads from M3 to M12. As thread milling cutters can be used for various pitches, they ensure great flexibility. With applications ranging from M1 to M2,5 (ISO DIN metric thread 13-20) in the field of reliable milling of small threads, the possible uses of the DCG series are now extended. The cutters feature sharpened cutting edges and, thanks to their coating, can be used universally. VHM cutters are available with standard thread lengths up to 2xD. They offer high cost-effectiveness and performance when machining the following materials: steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and in particular difficult-to-machine materials.
