The Mini system with sintered I geometry

Paul Horn GmbH from Tübingen used its Technology Days, which ended on May 16, to present a new geometry for the Mini tool system of types 108, 111, and 114 to the numerous visitors.

The sintered I-geometry particularly targets the machining of materials with poor chip formation properties. It is suitable for copy turning, longitudinal turning, reverse turning, and face turning. Especially with small feed rates in steel and stainless steels, the tool system with geometry shows its strengths in chip control. This leads to higher process stability and longer tool life in operation. In developing the I-geometry, HORN also considered the machining of lead-free materials. As these materials will pose a challenge in the future due to their poorer chip formation, the tool manufacturer offers cutting inserts with small corner radii starting from 0.05 mm for small lateral feeds. Corner radii from 0.05 mm to 0.2 mm are kept in stock as standard.

The front-screwed cutting inserts of the Mini type are among HORN's core products. The tool system is suitable for turning and milling applications. The precision tools have proven themselves particularly in internal turning and internal grooving. With the vibration-damping carbide tool holders, the cutting inserts also produce good surfaces even with longer overhangs and ensure high process reliability. The Mini system's portfolio offers cutting inserts in various sizes for different inner diameters. Additionally, various geometries and substrates as well as CBN or diamond coatings are available.
