Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document is a technical brochure from Hoffmann Group, focusing on trochoidal milling and GARANT TPC milling cutters. It highlights the advantages of trochoidal milling over conventional methods, emphasizing efficiency and material removal rates.
Trochoidal Performance Cutting (TPC)
TPC is a milling strategy that optimizes cutting cycles for high-speed and high-performance cutting. Benefits include increased chip volume, longer tool life, and reduced cutting forces, especially effective for machining difficult materials.
Comparison of Milling Strategies
The document compares conventional milling with TPC, noting TPC's use of intelligent trajectories and constant feed speeds, resulting in lower heat development and longer tool service life.
Applications and Tools
The brochure outlines the best applications for TPC, such as hard machining, stainless steels, and super alloys. It details GARANT TPC cutting tools, designed for specific materials and conditions, featuring coatings like TiAlN and DLC for enhanced performance.
Requirements for TPC
Effective TPC implementation requires a modern CAM system, a dynamic machining center, and specialized GARANT tools. The document emphasizes the importance of a coordinated combination of machine, CAM system, and cutting tool for optimal results.
Case Study
A case study of Rainer Weltner's company illustrates TPC's practical benefits, highlighting significant time savings and efficiency improvements in machining high-tensile materials.
Technical Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various GARANT TPC tools, including dimensions, coatings, and application guidelines for different materials.
Conclusion
Trochoidal milling with GARANT TPC tools offers significant advantages in efficiency, tool life, and material removal rates, making it a superior choice for modern machining applications.
Overview
The document provides detailed specifications and applications for various solid carbide end mills designed for machining different materials, including VA steels, Ni-based alloys, and Ti-based alloys. It includes information on innovative geometries, special coatings, and performance enhancements for trochoidal milling operations.
Specifications
The document outlines specifications for different types of solid carbide end mills, including dimensions, maximum values for ae (radial depth of cut) and hm (chip thickness), and the materials they are suitable for. The end mills are designed for high performance in machining operations, with reinforced cores and chip-breaking geometries.
Procedures
The document provides guidelines for converting fz (tooth feed rate) into hm max (chip center thickness) for trochoidal milling strategies. It emphasizes the importance of using the correct parameters to achieve optimal performance and tool life.
Applications
The end mills are suitable for machining a variety of materials, including stainless steels, super alloys, and lightweight materials. Specific applications include machining Ni-based alloys, titanium, and high tensile steels, with recommendations for use in TPC operations.
Performance and Innovation
The document highlights the benefits of using these end mills, such as reduced machining times, longer tool life, and high process reliability. It includes a case study from Krones AG, demonstrating significant time savings and improved tool performance through the use of GARANT TPC end mills.
Recommendations
For optimal performance, the document recommends specific ae max and hm max values for different materials and machining conditions. It also suggests reducing the depth of cut for materials with hardness greater than 55 HRC.
Conclusion
The document emphasizes the importance of using high-quality tools and optimized machining strategies to achieve economic and competitive advantages in manufacturing processes.

Trochoidal milling Trochoidal milling – a comparison Maximum machining efficiency with the optimum milling strategy Conventional milling strategies Trochoidal – static Conventional milling means to work in a straight or parallel plane forward movement. The trochoidal milling strategy is based on an optimised control of the cycles. Machining takes place along intelligent trajectories at a constant feed speed (vf ) up to the maximum width of cut (ae max). The chip centre thickness hm is not constant. Different chips mean uneven stress. Full-slot milling: Angle of contact 180° Advantages compared...

Trochoidal milling What do I need to practise TPC ? 1. A modern CAM system or a modern machine control. 2. A preferably very dynamic machining centre. 3. Special GARANT tools for best results. The new TPC cutting tools by GARANT have been specially designed to meet the special requirements of the new method. Besides a longer cutting edge for increasing the chip volume, the end mills are also more stable and more smoothrunning due to the uneven spacing. This supports achieving a surface quality as good as it is possible even in this high feed roughing process. With this very low-vibration operation...
