HGOS-PN / HGOB(LS)-PN Epoch Panacea series

New coating with amazing adhesion and wear resistance Features of PN Coating 01 A heat-resistant coating material with excellent adhesion to the tool substrate was achieved by optimizing the Al content. 02 03 Exhibits good wear resistance with high hardness (3000HV) due to Si as dopant. Exhibits stable tool life for cutting materials such as plastic injection molds, etc. where tool seizure often occurs. (2x the tool life compared to conventional products.) Realizes longer tool life in cutting prehardened steel such as HPM-MAGIC, carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, hot and cold tool steel,...

Which is better: Dry or wet coolant? In order to increase performance, it is necessary to increase the cutting chip removal amount per unit time. To do that, it is necessary to increase the feed rate vf or the cutting amount ap or ae.With the HGOB-PN, because it has a high-strength ball flute shape, it can perform stable cutting even at high cutting depths, so high-performance processing by using high cutting depths is recommended. Particularly when processing small-sized molds, even if the feed rate is set faster in the program settings, in actuality because acceleration to the feed rate is needed,...

Attentions on Safety 1. Cautions regarding handling (1) When removing the tool from its case (packaging), be careful that the tool does not pop out or is dropped. Be particularly careful regarding contact with the tool flutes. (2) When handling tools with sharp cutting flutes, be careful not to touch the cutting flutes directly with your bare hands. 2. Cautions regarding mounting (1) Before use, check the outside...
