SpheroX – Precision for the most demanding 3D geometries in stainless steels and titanium alloys

A tight tolerance ball radius (± 0.005 mm) ensures maximum shape accuracy. Four cutting edges enable high feed rates with smooth operation. The new DURO-SE coating reduces wear and maintains its shape over the entire service life. Compared to double-edged ball nose end mills, the increased number of cutting edges enables up to 50 % higher metal removal rate for a stable, low-vibration process.

SpheroX is based on the carbide HM XT and the new wear-resistant DURO-SE coating. This stabilizes the cutting edge, reduces micro chipping and minimizes built-up edges, giving consistent surface quality and high dimensional accuracy.
The geometry with four cutting edges enables smooth operation, high metal removal rates and excellent surface finishes in titanium and stainless steels.
The result: highly accurate and reproducible functional surfaces.

Components for medical technology, such as implants and bone splints made of titanium and stainless steel, place the highest demands on dimensional accuracy, surface quality and freedom from burrs. At the same time, these materials are demanding: titanium conducts heat poorly, favors built-up edges and accelerates tool wear. Complex 3D contours in the aerospace industry require constant tool loading and reliable chip removal. There are also strict documentation and quality requirements: biocompatibility, validated processes and complete traceability must be verifiably integrated. Many functional surfaces also require very low roughness.
The solution is a tool that minimizes built-up edges, stabilizes the cutting edge and runs with low vibration. This is exactly where the new SpheroX comes into play.
