At IMTS 2014, Emuge Corp. will be highlighting a wide range of high performance tools including new tap designs engineered for threading difficult materials such as stainless steels, nickel alloys and titanium. New milling tools for turbine blade manufacturing and tool holding solutions such as the unique SpeedSynchro for high production tapping will also be showcased.
During the show Emuge will be conducting live machining demonstrations in their booth. New tap lines include Emuge Z-Taps with GLT-1 coating for stainless and alloy steel applications and taps featuring new Emuge Variable Helix Correction (VHC) geometry.
Emuge Z-Taps are designed with an advanced chamfer geometry and rake / flute form. GLT-1, a newly developed multi-layered coating, produces a consistent, controllable chip formation that is released smoothly for fast and efficient chip removal. GLT-1 is uniquely structured with advanced heat resistance characteristics, along with an outer anti-friction layer. These elements synergistically combine to produce exceptional wear resistance and sliding properties that result in improved tool life, reduced torque, optimized chip evacuation and superior thread finish in high strength alloys, tool steels and cast steels. Emuge Z-Taps feature an increased number of flutes and a shortened thread section to reduce friction, and a lower cutting torque to reduce the occurrence of tap breakage and enable higher cutting speeds.
New Emuge Spiral Flute Bottoming Taps for threading nickel alloys will also be featured at the Emuge booth. Taps are designed with a Variable Helix Correction, a specially ground relief geometry in the primary cutting zone, which generates smaller, tightly rolled chips to prevent chip jamming in the tap teeth during machining. Emuge will also feature new plug taps for threading nickel alloys, designed with an advanced left-hand helical flute form and chamfer geometry to optimize chip evacuation and cutting teeth strength for enhanced tool life and process security. In addition, new taps designed for threading titanium and a new line of high penetration rate carbide drills will be introduced at the show.
Emuge Booth #W-1536 is located in McCormick Place West. IMTS show dates are September 8-13, 2014, held in Chicago, Illinois.
