About Difficult-to-Cut Materials

High-speed cutting of deep holes and rough machining
of difficult-to-cut materials (titanium, Inconel, etc.)

High-speed cutting of difficult-to-cut materials

Achieving high-speed cutting of difficult-to-cut materials such as high-alloy steel,low-carbon steel, and titanium.

We achieved this by incorporating an ultra-high-pressure coolant unit
into the NC lathe, enhancing the machining efficiency of difficult-to-cut materials.

Efforts for difficult-to-cut materials

Point1

Efforts for Difficult-to-Cut Materials

Titanium, high alloys, and low-carbon steels have challenges of poor machinability and productivity,
but we are actively working to overcome the challenges of difficult-to-cut materials.

Increased productivity

Point2

Increased Productivity

We are reducing manufacturing costs by significantly shortening machining time,
improving tool life, and overcoming the challenges of chip disposal.

Equipment:
Ultra-high-pressure coolant unit by Tokupi Corporation
(U-HIPRECO110-20)
Maximum pressure: 20 MPa

Improved accuracy

Point3

Improved Accuracy

Suppressing the temperature rise of cutting tools and machining materials with ultra-high-pressure coolant
helps prevent welding and wear of the cutting edge, leading to high quality and high precision.
In deep-hole machining, one-pass machining ensures high straightness and concentricity.
