VOX 400

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The VOX400 is a new style face mill designed for cast iron milling, featuring vertical inserts for ultra-high efficiency. It is characterized by a high rigidity design, easy clamping, and a wide selection of bodies, making it suitable for a range of roughing applications in cast iron machining.

Specifications
The VOX400 cutter is designed with vertical inserts that absorb the principal cutting force through the thickness of the insert, achieving high rigidity. The inserts are screwed into the side of the holder, simplifying clamping and unclamping. The cutter is available in coarse and fine pitch types to meet various productivity needs.

Features

Vertical inserts with high strength cutting edges suitable for a wide range of cast iron rough milling applications.
Long life insert grade with black super even coating technology to prevent chip welding.
Dry cutting is recommended, but wet cutting is possible.
Maximum depth of cut is 10mm.

Cutting Conditions
Two cutting conditions are provided for different insert grades (MC5020 and VP15TF) with specific parameters for cutting speed, feed per tooth, and depth of cut. The VOX400 allows stable milling with increased depth of cut and improved tool life compared to conventional products.

Performance and Recommendations
The VOX400 demonstrates improved fracture resistance and tool life, especially under unstable cutting conditions and with low rigidity workpieces. It is recommended to use fine and extra fine pitch cutters for higher efficiency in stable conditions. Care should be taken with elongated chips when using fine pitch cutters.

Application Examples
Examples show the VOX400's ability to achieve stable milling with increased depth of cut, improved surface finish, and reduced costs compared to conventional products. The tool life is significantly enhanced, and cutting resistance is reduced.

Strong Edge Insert Type Cutter for Cast Iron • When using wiper insert, please reduce the feed per tooth to half the normal rate. ■ Usable cutting edge width of wiper inserts The width of the wiper insert itself is 5.5mm, however the actual functioning cutting edge width after installation to the body is 4.5mm, as shown in the diagram. With one wiper insert, it is possible to machine up to fr=4mm feed per revolution. When exceeding fr=4mm, use two or more wiper inserts. Note that there is a possibility to exceed fr=4mm when using a holder with more than 24 inserts.
