WaveMill WEX Series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document introduces the WaveMill WEX Series, a new generation of high-performance milling cutters designed for high precision milling with improved productivity and quality. The series features low cutting force, high strength, and a wide range of inserts.
General Features: The WEX series includes indexable insert endmills and shoulder milling cutters. The wave-shaped cutting edges reduce cutting forces, and the high shear cutting action ensures smooth and reliable cutting, even in deep slotting or low rigidity machines. The cutters have strong cutting edges with heat and wear-resistant nano-technology coatings, enhancing machining accuracy and surface finish.
Advantages: The WEX series offers smooth cutting due to high rake inserts, high feed rates from strong cutting edges, and extended tool life with new PVD and CVD coated inserts. The wave-shaped cutting edge provides excellent machined quality.
Product Range: The series includes various models such as the 2000E Standard type, 2000EL Long shank type, 3000E Standard type, and 3000EL Long shank type, among others. The cutters are available in different shank and shell types, with dimensions and specifications provided for each model.
Inserts and Coatings: The document details the available inserts for the WEX 2000 and 3000 types, including coated and uncoated options. New tough and reliable coated grades are introduced, such as ACP100, ACP200, and ACP300 for steel, and ACK200 and ACK300 for cast iron, each with specific characteristics and applications.
Application Examples: Several application examples are provided, demonstrating the performance of the WEX series in various cutting conditions and materials. The examples highlight the series' ability to achieve lower cutting noise, better chip evacuation, improved surface finish, and extended tool life compared to existing tools.
Contact Information: The document provides contact details for Sumitomo Electric Hartmetall GmbH in Germany and Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal Ltd. in the UK and Ireland for further inquiries.
