TECH INNOVATION
Logical Extension
everal years ago, ISCAR launched a unique and
innovative LOGIQ product line – a campaign that
Sbrought new families of cutting tools to the world
market. These families were designed to address challenges in
metalworking industries, from increasing productivity to finding
cost-effective indexable alternatives to small-in-diameter solid
carbide tools.
Today, ISCAR introduces NEOLOGIQ, a logical extension
to the previous campaign comprising of an entire range of
advanced products and technological solutions for metal
cutting tools - a quantum leap in the field.
What are the main targets of the NEO product
lines?
ISCAR believes that NEOLOGIQ provides the answers to
typical questions that modern metalworking faces today due
to the latest changes in technology. Today, we are witnessing NEOFEED high feed milling cutter carries cost-effective

shops, factories, or even whole branches will abandon NEOLOGIQ as the next logical step to the cutting tool for the
smart factory. ‘Machining with no Boundaries’ is the motto of
ISCAR’s NEOLOGIQ products.
How do we overstep the customary boundaries of metal
cutting? A short overview of some of the new products will
help you understand how this is viewed by ISCAR.
Logical Milling
High feed milling (HFM), also referred to as fast feed milling,
is considered a commonly used effective method for rough
machining both complex and plane surfaces. ISCAR has
an extremely wide range of HFM products to meet the
requirements of a customer. However, even in this niche of
products, there is place for new innovations.
LOGIQ4FEED, a family of high feed milling cutters carrying
Anti-vibration boring bars WHISPERLINE enable stable specific bone-shaped inserts, was enriched by new tools with
cutting with the overhang up to fourteen diameters. greater insert sizes. These new tools have several features
38 MACHINE TOOLS WORLD OCTOBER 2022 www.mtwmag.com
TECH INNOVATION
that substantially improve performance in high feed milling,
especially when machining big cavities and pockets in steel
parts.
Another HFM product that provides the customer with
a reasonable cost saving solution is NEOFEED, a family of
mills with square, double-sided inserts. This insert has 8
indexable cutting edges to use on cemented carbide and a
dovetail-shaped insert pocket that ensures reliable mounting
to withstand heavy loads to enable higher cutting data and
increased productivity.
The progress in 5-axis machining and CAD/CAM systems
opens new horizons for machining 3D surfaces using barrel-
shaped endmills. Although such endmills are still not common
in the metalworking industry, advanced accurate metal
shaping methods will dramatically increase the demand for
these barrel-shaped endmills. Therefore, the development of
effective “cutting barrels” is one of ISCAR’s highest priorities.
In the NEOLOGIQ product range, the barrel-shaped endmills
are represented by two configurations: a solid carbide design
and a MULTI-MASTER head. Combining MULTI-MASTER Helical flutes with variable helix angle in a LOGIQCAM drill

size, T21, which enables increasing the nominal diameter of an accuracy and surface finish. WHISPERLINE, a family of
exchangeable endmill head to 32 mm (1.25”). anti-vibration boring bars, was developed to exceed the ratio
bounds. These bars have a specially designed built-in absorber
and a vibration-dampening mechanism that enables stable
cutting with an overhang of up to 14 diameters.
WHISPERLINE bars are important elements of the new
versatile modular system NEOMODU, providing a rich variety
of assembly options for turning tools. A combination of
different system units such as shanks, anti-vibration capsules,
and interchangeable heads with indexable carbide inserts
result in a tool assembly, which is maximally customized to a
specific application. The shanks may be cylindrical, square, or
with a polygon taper interface in accordance with ISO 26623
standard.
Speaking of new turning products, one cannot pass the
XNMG insert. It is a beneficial combination of two famous ISO
rhombic insert shapes: CNMG and DNMG inserts with 80° and
55° including angles. This intelligent integration resulted in
the XNMG 70° angle insert that features improved clearance
and ramping angles, when compared to the CNMG, and
strengthened cutting corners against DNMG. The advantages

One of the more impressive product lines introduced in the

laser marking
n our daily life we use various kind of products for some
specific use, but to identify products ratings, specifications
Iand even for branding purpose some marking is always
done on it.
Laser marking is one such emerging technology which is
used for all these marking purpose, be it metals or plastics or
some few other non-metal materials, it can be laser marked.
In the modern manufacturing technologies what we
expect is a hassle-free experience, no downtime and minimal
maintenance and that exactly is what a laser marking system
delivers. As opposed to the ink-based marking systems
which gets cumbersome to refill and maintain, laser marking
does not require any such consumables which leads to the
negligible marking cost per piece, if you are worrying about
the electric consumption or the life of laser, stay relaxed as
there is hardly 500w/hr electric consumption with laser life of
1,00,000 working hours!!
There are different types of lasers available with various
wavelengths which can be selected depending on the
material to be marked upon. Also, these lasers can be
integrated into any kind of automation line for faster
production.
Due to its versatile nature, it can be used for doing
a job works start-up and in the mass production
environment.
Laser Technologies is one such place where you
could get all kinds of marking solutions suited to your
application, our technically strong application team could
help you in consulting the best possible laser marking
solution with the optimum pricing.
