Innovative strength in almost every area of application

ISCAR is the largest of the many companies comprising IMC (International Metalworking Companies Group). Together, they supply a dynamic comprehensive line of precision carbide metalworking tools. These companies produce a wide range of carbide inserts, carbide endmills, and cutting tools, covering most metal cutting applications. IMC also provides engineering and manufacturing solutions to major industries throughout the world. Many innovative products, designed especially for customer requirements, have made IMC a world leader in major manufacturing industries such as automotive, aerospace, and die & mold production.

ISCAR has introduced a myriad of new products, each one aiming for the 3 P's: higher Productivity, Profitability and Performance. Some of the foremost features of these new products:

  • New grades and coatings to enable cutting tools to machine faster, run cooler, resist built-up edge and last longer
  • New geometries to reduce cutting forces, save energy, improve chip control and provide more edges per insert
  • More versatile multifunction tools to support the "complete machining" trend on CNC mill-turn centers
  • Stronger self-clamping designs on stationary tools, enabling them to withstand heavy duty interrupted cuts

ISCAR product innovations

ISCAR's NEW Y-Axis Turning Holders for Swiss-Type Machines Assure Excellent Surface Quality and Easy

Today, the Y axis option has become a standard feature in most multi-tasking machines and optional in many new turning centers. ISCAR's Y-Axis-type tools, feature extremely stable cutting due to the pocket position that is perpendicular to the shank. The main cutting forces are applied in the direction of the shank on the longitudinal axis. Prevents tool bending even under high machining conditions, ensures vibration free cutting and excellent surface quality.

The tool stability guaranties precise cut and reliable machining. The Y-Axis tool position enables the evacuation of long chips in a downward direction due to the gravitational force. Suitable for difficult to cut materials such as stainless steel, titanium, low carbon alloys, etc. ISCAR’s tools are designed with pinpointed coolant enabled from the top and bottom of the tool which assures higher performance cutting. The new tools enhance ISCAR’s variety and provide superb solutions for Swiss-type machining applications.

HSK A63 EM with coolant jet channels along the shank bore

HSK is a German abbreviation for hollow taper shank. A hollow taper means these tool holders do not have a retention knob. The hollow taper provides the appropriate level of flexibility to ensure contact with the machine tool spindle by both the taper and the flange face. This results in an extremely reliable interface that successfully sustains extremely high centrifugal and thermal loads. The HSK holders are intended for high-speed machining. These holders are becoming more popular due to their precision performance. The X-STREAM HSK A-63 provides a perfect solution for solid carbide endmills with Coolant Jet Channels along the shank bore. It can be installed on a machining center with through-coolant spindle options, and the X-STREAM endmill holder delivers jet coolant that wraps the tool to obtain the same result as through tool coolant. ISCAR's new HSK chucks offer several protruding lengths for 6 to 25mm tool diameters.

Several unique features of the system are:

  • Coolant directed to cutting edges
  • Prolonged tool life
  • Eliminates chip sticking to the cutting edges
  • Balanced to G2.5, 25000 RPM
  • Suitable for High-Speed Milling
  • Effective chip evacuation to prevent chip re-cutting
  • No Pull out
  • Suitable for High-Speed Milling
  • Applications and Advantages of the new X-STREAM HSK A-63
  • Intended for CNC milling machines with poor external coolant flow
  • Highly positive results for cavities and pocket milling applications
  • Great for milling applications that generate high temperatures, such as very hard alloy steels, high temperature alloys etc

The new X-STREAM HSK A-63 increases tool life, provides high productivity and profitability.
