Series Expansion from Mitsubishi Materials Corporation - IMX Exchangeable Head End Mill Series
Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, Advanced Materials & Tools Company (President - Fumio Tsurumaki, Headquarters: 1-3-2 Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) has expanded the range of heads for the iMX exchangeable head end mill series by adding a range of vibration control geometries.
The iMX series has received a favorable reception in the marketplace as a revolutionary end mill system that provides excellent economy and enables efficiency, high accuracy, and rigidity by combining the advantages of both solid carbide and indexable end mills. Overall rigidity close to that of a solid type end mills is realized because the clamping faces of the holder and head are both manufactured from carbide. The iMX end mill series has been further expanded to include vibration control heads for difficult-to-cut materials machining to allow a wider range of applications.
Features of the vibration control heads for the iMX end mill series includes Irregular helix controls vibration and increases stable machining even when machining of difficult-to- cut materials and for applications with an extended overhang. Through coolant holes for each cutting edge enables a stable coolant supply for the IMX-C4HV-S type.
