As a practical example, a self-developed drone will be showcased at booth A93 in Hall 3 of the Düsseldorf Trade Fair. Additionally, a Hyperloop-related joint project with KraussMaffei is planned to be presented. Three tools are in focus: 110FPRV 'Per Plex', the special tool for acrylic processing, HC402, a roughing/finishing tool with low heat generation, and HC403BDSR 'Wolverine', an aluminum roughing tool with exceptionally high chip volume.
The Plexiglass cutter 110FPRV features an innovative cutting geometry and is a combined roughing-finishing tool. Machining polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), commonly known as acrylic glass or by the most famous brand Plexiglas, is tricky. The reason: As with other thermoplastics or composite materials with a thermoplastic component, there is a constant risk that it will become too hot and melt during processing. Hufschmied has developed plastic machining tools with low friction between the tool and workpiece that dissipate the generated heat through the chip. Additionally, 110FPRV operates very smoothly and achieves crystal-clear surfaces without additional polishing.
For difficult cases
The two-flute HSC Torus Milling Tool HC402 from the Proto-Line, a product family for prototype construction, is another example of a tool that avoids adhesion and melting due to its cutting geometry and polished flutes. It is suitable, among other things, for gentle, burr-free machining of Dibond panels and enables highly precise processing of glass-fiber reinforced polyamide.
Aluminum Workhorse for Mold Making
The solid carbide high-performance roughing cutter HC403BDSR 'Wolverine' is a true 'aluminum workhorse' with its extreme material removal rates (3xD full slot milling). The cutting edge with cord tooth geometry is particularly stable due to a corner radius, and a special end geometry allows for high ramp angles during immersion. For this tool, Hufschmied developed a new coating called 'ALX1'. Polished flutes and central internal cooling ensure optimal chip removal.
