ITC HIGHLIGHTS CREDENTIALS Stand 432 in Hall 20 Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC) will once again showcase its unsurpassed range of cutting tool solutions at MACH <strong>2024</strong>. On Stand 432 in Hall 20, the Tamworth cutting tool manufacturer will excite manufacturers with its latest product lines that will appear alongside cutting tool solutions from BIG KAISER, WIDIA, Karnasch, Kemmler and Bass. With an outstanding reputation for the quality, consistency and performance of its solid carbide end mills, drills and thread milling ranges, ITC is continually evolving its portfolio to meet the needs of the industry. Among the crowd-pleasers at MACH will be the 4101 Series of solid carbide lollipop cutters. Perfect for reaching the most challenging of surfaces when 5-axis machining, the 4101 Series is a 4-flute longlength tool with centre-cutting to reach the most inaccessible of surfaces – demonstrated by its 220 degrees of inclusive cutting. Manufactured with an AlTiN coating and a 30-degree helix, the 4101 Series is ideal for applications on steel, stainless, cast iron and aerospace-grade alloys. With ball diameters from 2 to 16mm, shank diameters from 6 to 16mm and an overall length of up to 100mm, the 4101 Series offers incredible rigidity, flexibility and surface finishes when machining the most challenging of parts. For trochoidal machining, ITC will demonstrate its extensive portfolio with the 5021, 5031, 5041, 6051 and 6054 appearing as just a few of the stand-out performers. The 5021 Series is a long-reach Cupro-coated 5- flute end mill with harmonic fluting and a variable helix for unsurpassed performance under the most challenging of cutting conditions. Accompanied at MACH by the short-length 5031 and the necked 5041 Series, the end mills are available from 3 to 20mm in diameter. The 5-flute trochoidal tools will be accompanied by the 6-flute 6051, 6071 and 6054 Series which are perfect for machining steel and exotic materials. With all trochoidal tools incorporating a centre cutting geometry with harmonic fluting to maximise material removal rates and swarf evacuation whilst minimising vibration to enhance surface finishes and tool life - the chip creation and removal are incredible. For the machining of aluminium, MACH will provide a launchpad platform for the 3301 and 3204 Series of end mills. The 3301 for heavy material removal is a long-length 3-flute series with a centrecutting 38-degree helix geometry and impressive reach characteristics that are matched by its stability. Available in diameters from 6 to 20mm, the 3301 is available with an overall length of up to 150mm. Complementing the 3301 at MACH will be the 3204 long series which has chip breakers, centre-cutting geometry and a 45- degree helix to demonstrate high material removal rates. www.itc-ltd.co.uk EFFICIENT, TRENDSETTING AND SUSTAINABLE Hall 6, Booth 829 As an essential step in manufacturing processes, parts cleaning significantly contributes to high product quality and adds considerable value.Therefore, almost all industrial sectors are confronted with more stringent particulate and film-type cleanliness specifications. Ecoclean will provide information about its trendsetting product portfolio, which is optimally tailored to fulfil a broad range of cleaning applications with highest cleanliness requirements. By way of example, an advanced EcoCwave machine will be shown live on the booth to illustrate the various features and process options. Regardless of the industry sector, parts cleaning is one of the critical processes in manufacturing today. Due to increasing demands on component performance and reliability, new products, changed manufacturing, coating and bonding technologies as well as modified materials, the requirements for particulate and film-like cleanliness are constantly rising. This is particularly true in high tech sectors such as the semiconductor supply industry, medical device engineering, aviation and aerospace industry, optical and optoelectronic industry as well as vacuum, laser and analysis technologies. In order to solve these challenging cleaning tasks in a needs- based, efficient and sustainable manner, not only is comprehensive technological know-how required but also knowledge of the applications and respective physical relationships. As a full-range supplier of future-oriented, flexible, and energy-efficient solutions for industrial component cleaning, Ecoclean and UCM, the Group’s division specializing in precision and ultra-fine cleaning, have both and cover the entire spectrum of wet-chemical processes using water-based media, solvents and modified alcohols. This means that cleaning processes and systems, including the most suitable process technologies such as injection flood washing, spray cleaning, high-pressure, immersion, ultrasonic, megasonic and plasma cleaning, as well as Ultrasonic Plus or Pulsated Pressure Cleaning (PPC) as well as drying techniques for both batch and individual part cleaning, can be very efficiently tailored to product and companyspecific requirements. Machine and process design is carried out in the company’s own test centers, which include cleanrooms as well as adapted plant and measuring technology available for tasks in medical technology and for high-purity applications. At this year’s Ecoclean (Hall 6, Booth 829) will inform about its broad range of adapted system concepts for batch and single parts cleaning with aqueous media and environmentally compatible solvents, as well as matching high-purity equipment packages. The latter will be demonstrated on the example of the advanced EcoCwave for immersion and spraying processes with water-based cleaning agents. The system technology, media routing, media preparation and design of this full-vacuum single-chamber system have been specially adapted for high-end cleaning applications. Thus, it is capable of achieving consistent results that meet highest requirements, even if it concerns geometrically complex components. Process options that can be combined in almost any way, such as high pressure spray cleaning, ultrasonic, plasma cleaning, as well as PPC, contribute to this. www.ecoclean-group.net 14 <strong>Manufacturing</strong> <strong>Machinery</strong> <strong>World</strong>, <strong>April</strong> <strong>2024</strong>
