LEUCO serves as a cost-effective cutter for cutting individual composite components for any application and degree of complexity with its “quartet for every situation.” Leading-edge tool solutions for composite machining are made to maximise chip removal, decrease material loss, save process steps, increase tool longevity, and guarantee clean edge quality. More economical solutions are possible when the application parameters are carefully defined beforehand. Those application parameters are hereunder:
Small
Small-diameter milling tools are primarily utilised in composite machining to minimise the hogging volume of the costly material. Here, common tool sizes range from 3 mm to 8 mm.
Minimal vibration
When combined with intricate 3D features, thin components necessitate cutters with tooth geometries that prevent the material to be machined from vibrating, which would degrade the quality of the milling.
Resistant to wear
With hard innovative materials like PCD or VHW, some with specific coatings, LEUCO combats high tool wear brought on by the ubiquitous abrasive fibres in laminates. For incredibly precise cutting of differently oriented or even strong fibers in composite materials, LEUCO provides unique tooth numbers and tooth geometries.
The LEUCO Z2 PCD cutter is perfect for heat-sensitive materials like GFRP because of its big gullet. During machining, chips are easily removed from the machining zone, preventing the tool from overheating. A high-quality machining edge is also guaranteed by the alternating shear angle, which consists of one cutting edge pushing and one pulling. The Z2 PCD cutter has a solid price-performance ratio and is convincing because of its limited number of cutting edges.
All kinds of composite components can be trimmed with the LEUCO UniType, ProType, and Spiral End Mill. The best edge quality and high feeds are made possible by the design, number of teeth, and numerous fine adjustments. Each application can benefit from a different design for these tools. Each application can benefit from a different design for these tools. Variable pitches and chip breakers lessen cutting forces and provide smoothness to the machining process. The edge of life may be extended by this impact.
