Air motion
The air motion mode in the cutting process cannot
be neglected in mass production, as idle movement
time is costly. ISCAR approaches this issue by
advising manufacturers to review their technological
processes and to utilize a combined tools approach
in order to reduce retract and tool changing
movements.

Combined tools
As a modern full-solution technological process
comprises dozens of tools, this contribution to
production optimization is highly significant. Every
combined tool design takes in account a machine
center parameter, such as maximum cutting
diameter, spindle speed limitations, spindle motor
power, and more.

The picture on the right shows a combined tool
designed by ISCAR, for machining a cast iron
steering knuckle part. The tool combines drilling,
front chamfering, back chamfering, shouldering,
and bottom shouldering. By using this tool,
cycle time is reduced significantly, and the
customer can decrease chip-to-chip time
by up to 60%.
