Dover, Ohio – Allied Machine & Engineering, a manufacturer of holemaking and finishing tooling systems, introduces its new GEN3SYS XT Pro line of high penetration drilling products. The product line features enhanced holders and inserts with three unique geometries and two advanced coatings. Combining specific geometries and coatings to create the optimal solution for different machining materials, GEN3SYS XT Pro inserts have been designed specifically for ISO material classes, making tool selection easy. They are offered for steels (class P), cast irons (class K), and non-ferrous materials (class N). The drill inserts come in diameters ranging from 11mm (0.4331") to 35mm (1.378"), and are available in 0.1mm (0.004") increments. The inserts designed for steel and cast iron have new AM400 series coatings to provide increased wear resistance and tool life. Inserts for non-ferrous materials are coated with titanium nitride (TiN).
Holders for the GEN3SYS XT Pro line are offered in depth-to-diameter ratios of 3xD, 5xD, 7xD, and a new 10xD. These newly designed holders feature an enhanced flute design that improves chip evacuation and an updated coolant configuration that increases flow and directs additional coolant to the cutting zone. The GEN3SYS XT Pro holders are available in both imperial and metric shank diameters.
