Industry News- Feb 04,25
Seco LN4-11 Helical Milling Cutter provides shops several avenues to cut costs and improve profitability. Its adaptability to a variety of applications enables shops to reduce tooling inventories and costs.
Fagersta (Sweden)
The new Seco LN4-11 Helical Milling Cutter provides up to three times longer tool life per edge and boosts productivity to achieve the lowest cost per part. The cutter ensures high material removal rates in applications requiring a helical milling cutter 32 – 63 mm in diameter.
Economical and user-friendly
The LN4-11 provides shops several avenues to cut costs and improve profitability. Its adaptability to a variety of applications enables shops to reduce tooling inventories and costs. Operators simply change out the cutter’s inserts to go from one application the next. The tool’s front and helical insert pockets also eliminate the risk of incorrect insert placement to improve efficiency and reduce waste.
“The new Seco LN4-11 Helical Milling Cutter is the answer to the challenges shops face today,” said Seco Product Manager Magnus Engdahl. “It’s impossible to load the inserts of the cutter incorrectly, and every cutter body and insert feature an individual Seco Data Matrix code that provides access to cutting data and spare part tracking. It’s an excellent opportunity for shops to improve productivity and efficiency while overcoming the challenges created by lesser skilled operators.”
Four cutting edges for cost-effective milling
The milling cutter has two different inserts. There are two cutting edges on the front inserts and four edges on the helix inserts. The design allows robust machining operations and aggressive material removal rates. Cost performance is enhanced, and tool life is improved. Inserts are available in a broad range of grades and geometries for a variety of operations and materials. The LN4-11 meets the demands of general engineering and automotive applications as well as those in the aerospace sector.
Each cutter’s individual Data Matrix code ensures easy access to all relevant tooling information including individual data metrics, cutting data, compatible products and spare parts.
