Helical-Based Milling Cutters
The ISCAR HELIQMILL 390 line is a new step of development of the insert with helical cutting edge. The classical HELIMILL insert and its further derivatives have two cutting edges. The new line offers a triangular insert with three cutting edges. Interestingly, the length of the cutting edge of an insert with three edges is the same as in an insert with two: the new inserts are available with 10mm and 15mm cutting edge lengths. The insert with three edges has a stronger structure and its clamping into the pocket features high rigidity. The advanced cutting geometry of the new insert results in a precise 90° shoulder and a wiper flat provides excellent surface finish.

Making Laser Marking Affordable
Rofin‘s CombiLine Basic offers a technical solution for efficient, high-quality laser marking with its stand-alone workstation and large working chamber, a fully integrated laser marker, and smart operation technology. A wide motorized door provides easy access to the working chamber, which has ample room for workpieces. A motorized Z-axis precisely positions the marking head to accommodate different work-piece heights.
Control of all components, including the laser marker, is by an integrated computer system running Windows 7 Professional. Using VisualLaserMarker, Rofin’s laser marking software, users achieve simple as well as complex marking layouts in a matter of minutes. The software supports matrix-codes, bar codes, serial numbers, and more. Control of the entire system is via a 15" touch screen with smart operation technology.
The system accommodates air-cooled PowerLine F and PowerLine E laser markers in fundamental wavelength.
