The new SX technology was developed in FRAISA’s Production department and Test Center, while the FRAISA ToolSchool was responsible for developing and validating the cutting data. All product development measures were focused on achieving high productivity, a long tool life and cost efficiency.

A strong-edged, ultrafine-grain carbide with excellent wear properties forms the basis of the SX high-performance tools. A positive, easy-cut geometry was combined with optimized flutes and an increasing tool core diameter. The result: Optimum chip formation, good chip removal, and high tool stability.

To ensure the SX tools can withstand high mechanical and thermal stresses, the exposed cutting-edge corner has been equipped with a special, robust, polished tooth edge and a small corner radius.

The high-performance DURO-Si coating protects the tools against high temperature loads and ensures maximum performance and tool life by means of its high wear resistance. The SX high-performance tools are ideally suited to HPC and HDC machining and consequently cover a wide range of applications and materials.

FRAISA carries out extensive tests with its own high-performance milling cutters and milling tools made by competitors. We do this to keep a constant eye on the status quo in tool and application technology. These tests involve using the milling cutters in different materials with different milling strategies.

A special focus is placed on HDC milling: Due to the high mechanical and thermal loads, testing with this milling process is particularly intensive. This ensures that the tools can be used for a wide range of materials and applications – while also providing maximum performance and a long service life.

Application expertise for optimum results

Machining stainless, acid- and heat-resistant steels is a particular challenge. Using the right high-performance tool and the appropriate cutting data for the job is crucial. But it’s also essential to monitor other factors and make optimizations if necessary.
