Key Point on Machininga Cutting tool life is usually extremely short because of the high strength and
abrasiveness of carbon fibers, additionally delamination and burring easily occurs during cutting, thus it is effective to use a tool that applies coating with high wear resistance. The MCS drills and the S-TAW drills (non-stocked insert) reduce burrs and delamination due to a CVD diamond coating technology in combination with an optimized tool geometry, thereby achieving a long tool life and high-quality machining.

Face Milling, Pocket Milling
Key Point on Machininga The milling of rib type components involves removal of large volumes that
often exceeds 90%. Thus, high efficient machining at high speed is required to reduce cost. The AXD series achieves low cutting resistance without lowering the insert edge strength due to a helical flank and an optimized relief angle.Additionally, the convex cutting edge allows good chip removal, resulting in high speed and high efficiency machining.
Application Examplea A chip removal rate of 610.24 inch3/min. was
achieved by the AXD7000-HSK type with its super-high efficiency.
Poor surface finishes on walls are avoided as the tool is designed to interpolate pocket corners, thereby also preventing vibration.

the cutting edge easily occurs if low rigidity tools are used. Tools with high rigidity and low cutting resistance are therefore recommended.The VFX series has a highly rigid design including tangentially mounted inserts with a V-shaped clamping face. The convex curved cutting edge provides a soft cutting action.

titanium are normally caused by variations in the cutting resistance as the saw-toothed chip is generated. The newly developed grade MP9130 has a multi-layer coating with excellent wear resistance. In combination with the soft cutting action of the JL breaker it allows for stable high speed roughing.

Key Point on Machininga Titanium-Aluminum alloys have low thermal conductivity causing the heat to
concentrate in the cutting edge. Scratches can also easily occur on the surface. It is therefore important to reduce heat in the cutting edges and evacuate chips smoothly. The Smart Miracle end mills features a balance of sharpness and smoothness of the coating achieved with Mitsubishi's original smoothening treatment. It allows for increased stability during machining.
Application Examplea Smoothening treatment of the coating layer
reduces cutting resistance and improves tool life drastically.

Double-phased helical rake angles
Tough cutting edge (Convex curve)
LANDING GEARWork Materials [Titanium Alloy]
Key Point on Machininga Abnormal damage of the cutting edge such as chipping and vibration can
occur easily when rough machining titanium alloy.The APX series enables stable machining as it combines inserts with soft cutting action, convex curved edges with highly rigid cutter bodies that include internal coolant.
Application Examplea Long tool life is achieved even in long reach
applications when combining screw in heads with carbide shanks.

LANDING GEARWork Materials [Titanium Alloy]
Key Point on Machininga When profile machining titanium alloys, chipping and abnormal damage of
the cutting edge can occur as vibrations are easily generated.The use of a tool which is designed for vibration control is effective.The latest SMART MIRACLE vibration control ball nose end mills have variable pitch and advanced designed radii to maximize the reduction of vibrations.
Application Examplea Stable machining is provided with the elimination
of vibrations. Three times longer tool life was achieved by adding cutting edges.

LANDING GEARWork Materials [Titanium Alloy]
Key Point on Machininga Titanium alloys have low thermal conductivity and it is therefore common to
get adhesions and concentration of heat in the cutting edge. Removing heat from the cutting edge and smooth discharge of chips are key. The MNS drills features unique coolant holes and optimized groove shape. The superior cooling performance and chip evacuation provides stable machining and long tool life.
Application Examplea Achieved stable machining due to excellent cooling
performance and chip discharge performance.
