XFeed-H – the specialist for high-feed machining

• Shorter throughput times: From the blank to very close to the final contour (near net shape) in one process – hardened workpieces can be machined efficiently and throughput times drastically reduced
• Near-net-shape result thanks to small axial steps during roughing
• Optimum automation thanks to reliable application

• Productivity increase thanks to increased chip removal rates resulting from maximum feed rates and robust tool design
• Easy programming in the CAM system

The shape of the end cutting edge of the XFeed-H greatly increases the effective length of the cutting edge. As a result, the mechanical stress and wear are optimally distributed along the end cutting edge. Feed rates and therefore also the chip removal rate can be significantly increased.

Due to the lack of a curved cutting edge, the tooth face width can be increased, giving the tool extra stability. The forces resulting from the high feed rate are consequently absorbed with ease.

Shorter throughput times

In conventional work sequences, mold blanks are machined before being hardened and finished with a machining allowance. Idle times before and after the hardening process result in high throughput times.

The big advantage of HFC milling cutters is that the entire milling process can be carried out after the mold has been hardened.

This significantly shortens the throughput time for mold production. Small, axial line steps ensure near-net-shape roughing of the hardened workpiece. This saves time and money as subsequent finishing processes can be implemented much faster.

Optimum automation

Autonomous manufacturing continues to gain ground. Process reliability is the key to success here The perfect interaction between the cutting parameters from ToolExpert 2.0 and the tool geometry forms a sound foundation for long and highly productive operating times.

Advantages when using the tools:

• Optimum operating parameters can be found quickly and reliably
• Use of perfectly coordinated, tool- and material-specific cutting data
• CAD data for selected tools is available for download

XFeed-H tool family

The new HFC milling cutters from FRAISA are available in three different lengths with throats 3xd, 4.5xd and 6xd long.

All HFC milling cutters can be reconditioned after use.

FRAISA ReTool® offers an all-round service that restores used tools to their original performance level – using the very latest technology and in a resourcefriendly way. Our ability to provide this performance guarantee is a priority of our team of experts right from very early on in product development.

The outcome: mint-condition tools as productive as they were the first day they were used.
