With the upgrade of the ConeFit milling cutters, Walter is presenting the latest version of the interchangeable head system: 17 milling cutter families have been merged into eight and provided with new ordering codes adapted to the current nomenclature. For customers, this means significantly simplified order handling. At the same time, applications benefit from a technical upgrade thanks to the newly added coating with the highly wear-resistant Walter Grade WJ30TP. The universal TiAlN coating with a gold-colored ZrN top layer not only enables a long tool life, it also allows rapid wear detection. Like all ConeFit replaceable heads, the updated milling cutters are also characterised by their high-precision, self-centering interface consisting of thread, cone and contact surface. It allows tool changes with maximum precision.
The MD340 ConeFit Milling cutter - a specialist for ISO P materials - is a particular technical highlight. Its variable 39°/41° helix reduces vibrations, which significantly increases operational smoothness and tool life. The z4 milling cutter is available in a diameter range of 10-20 mm, with and without a corner radius. In addition to the current highlights, the MC430 and MC500 (both also with WJ30TP) and the internally cooled, (WJ30RA) coated MD070, the revised Walter ConeFit program also includes other milling cutters. The wide selection of high-performance, re-grindable milling heads is complemented by their great flexibility, as the users can utilize different milling heads in one adaptor. Milling cutters can be changed in seconds - without retooling and with minimal downtime. Therefore, users from the mechanical engineering, energy or automotive industry, receive an economically and technologically convincing solution that is easy to order, sustainable and powerful.
