ACCELERATE TURNING PRODUCTIVITY WITH BEYOND INSERTS

Kennametal (Latrobe, PA) is offering Beyond inserts for its FixPerfect system, promising improved toughness and wear-resistance, resulting in higher turning productivity and safety.

The FixPerfect system features a proprietary shaped pocket that, together with a clamping stud, locking pin, and tangentially mounted precision ground insert, result in high clamping forces and very low cutting forces for excellent chip control and improved process stability. The FixPerfect inserts are shaped to match the pocket, which protects unused cutting edges. Productivity improves as well because the FixPerfect pin simply needs to be loosened, not removed, to index the insert.

The Beyond inserts for FixPerfect share the breakthrough performance characteristics of the entire Beyond line–micro-polished edges that improve edge toughness, proprietary post-coat treatment that reduces depth-of-cut notching, and a fine-grained alumina layer that enhances coating integrity at higher cutting speeds.

“There are five new Beyond grades for FixPerfect with either two, four, or eight cutting edges, depending on your application and needs,” says Alexander Momm, global product manager, turning products. “With a variety of geometries, lead angles, and rake angles to choose from, metalworking companies can achieve improved chip control and process stability in roughing, medium machining, or finishing tasks, while adding the long tool life and increased performance Beyond provides.”
