WPR-D – Helical Ball Nose Insert LC610Q

LMT-Fette is pleased to announce the helical-shaped, extremely free-cutting geometry of our new WPR-D Helical Ball Nose insert. The new insert provides long tool life and excellent surface finishes when machining complex work pieces. The use of traditional inserts with straight cutting edges typically results in unequal cutting forces, as well as increased vibration, shorter tool life and slower feed rates. The WPR-D helical cutting edge results in incremental entry of the cutter and significantly reduces vibration for a soft, peeling cut. The WPR-D insert cutting edge is designed to always be under a load for increased stability and further reduced vibration.

The new WPR-D Helical Ball Nose inserts are designed to meet the demands of the growing segment of high-speed machining in the die and mold market, on tool steels up to 60 Rc. The inserts, with their free-cutting action, consistently proves to be a finishing tool of choice. Super-fine carbide substrate combined with a unique helical grind and PVD ALCrN coating result in a new standard for semi-finishing ball milling applications.

WPR-D Helical Ball Nose inserts are designed for die and mold materials commonly used, such as tools steels P20, H13, A2, and D2. WPR-D helical inserts can also provide excellent tool life in softer alloy materials, less than 45 Rc. With its new enhanced coating, the LC610Q insert grade is suitable for either wet or dry milling applications.

The primary advantage of LMT-Fette’s new WPR-D Helical Ball Nose insert is its ability to cut freely, reduce vibration and extend tool life. The WPR-D insert geometry exhibits a helical cutting action, providing soft, peeling cutting to the center of the insert, and in turn reducing horsepower and increasing insert stability.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
