PFERD Tools for Use on Aluminium

<strong>PFERD</strong> <strong>Tools</strong> – Catalogues 201-209Catalogue 202 – BurrsTungsten carbide burrsThese tungsten carbide burrs give excellent results in aluminium work such as welddressing, fettling of castings, deburring, chamfering and geometry adjustments.A large number of geometrical shapes and dimensions (3-16 mm dia.), two cutsand a coating developed specifically <strong>for</strong> this material are available to meet variousneeds in machinability groups SOFT, TOUGH and harD.Our ALU and ALU PLUS cuts reflect the most recent standards of technology.Developed specifically <strong>for</strong> use on aluminium, their geometries ensure optimummachining results at high cutting speeds of up to 1,100 m/min.TC burrs with ALU cutTC burrs with ALU PLUS cutTC burrs with HC-NFE coatingALU cutVc 600-1,100 m/minAn optimum tooth geometry ensuresgood chip removal. Tooth base loading isprevented, even on sticky materials. For usein machinability groups SOFT, TOUGH andharD.Vc 450-700 m/minPreferable <strong>for</strong> coarse milling of aluminiumalloys in machinability groups TOUGH andharD, as well as <strong>for</strong> non-ferrous metals ingeneral. The special tooth geometry ensureshigh stock removal.Vc 600-1,100 m/minThe tool of choice <strong>for</strong> long-chip, stickynon-ferrous metals in machinability groupsSOFT, TOUGH and harD. Improvedfriction and sliding properties reduce the<strong>for</strong>mation of built-up edges. High stockremoval and durability are the hallmarks ofthis range.HSS rotary cuttersThanks to their special tooth geometry and close tolerances, high-speed steel(HSS) rotary cutters are particularly suitable <strong>for</strong> deburring, chamfering, fettling andgeometry adjustment work on aluminium parts, where they produce an enhancedsurface quality. HSS rotary cutters with ALU cut can be used in numerous shapesand dimensions.HSS rotary cutters with ALU cut and with our special cut <strong>for</strong> light alloysguarantee cost-efficient results and are also ideal <strong>for</strong> use on materials inmachinability groups SOFT and TOUGH when working with a low-poweredmachine in the low RPM range.HSS rotary cutter with ALU cutVc = 300 m/minAn optimum tooth geometry ensures goodchip removal.Recommendations <strong>for</strong> useHSS rotary cutter with special cut <strong>for</strong>light alloysVc = 300 m/minParticularly suitable <strong>for</strong> coarse deburring andfettling work on light alloy components andcastings.■■The cost-efficiency of burrs and rotary cutters is contingent on an adequatepower output and appropriate RPM of the machine.To select the right cut <strong>for</strong> a given application, note the following rule:The harder and more brittle the material, the finer the cut should be.■■The coating of tungsten carbide burrs prevents tool loading problems undermost application conditions, even with very sticky alloys. With uncoated burrs,grinding oil can be used to prevent tooth bases from clogging up too quickly.Products made to orderIf our extensive Catalogue rangeshould not include what you need, wecan produce custom products tailoredto your requirements in terms of■■tooth specifications■■shank length■■diameter.Especially in high-volume manufacturing,milling operations areincreasingly robotized. For suchapplications <strong>PFERD</strong> offers burrs androtary cutters providing still closertolerances and constant stock removal.Please do not hesitate to contact us.The application technicians in ourtechnical customer support departmentwill be glad to help.27
