Emuge Corp. has announced the introduction of conical ball nose end mills that are uniquely designed for the machining of specific components in several key manufacturing segments including automotive, aerospace, energy, and HVAC. The end mills are conical in shape, with a highly accurate ball nose capable of completely machining impellers, blisks, turbine blades, and tire profiles without a single tool change during three- and five-axes operations.

“We can now offer customers manufacturing these specific components with a milling tool solution that will eliminate tool changes and increase productivity,” says Stephen Jean, milling products manager at Emuge Corp. “For example, when machining an impeller, one conical ball nose end mill can rough and finish the individual blades as well as the flow surfaces at the impeller hub.”

Also, when machining tire profiles, it is possible to finish the entire mold segment including the interlock bevel and the tire tread features including all radius detail with a single tool.

Offering an application-specific solution, these tools are available in a wide range of sizes. Uncoated designs are able to mill aluminum and specialty steels including nickel-chrome steels and Inconel. End mills with a TiALN coating can machine steel materials at up to 45 Rc, as well as cast and non-ferrous metals.

These end mills are available in two standard forms, one with shorter flute lengths for increased rigidity. In addition, special tools made to customer specifications are offered. They join a comprehensive line of solid carbide tools that are precision-manufactured for optimum performance, durability, and tool life. The new end mill line reflects the expertise and manufacturing techniques developed over 90 years of application, research, and continuous product enhancement.

Emuge Corp. is a subsidiary of the German company Emuge-Werk Richard Glimpel KG that has been the product technology and performance leader in their field for over 90 years. The company manufactures an extensive line of taps, end mills, thread mills, holders, and attachments. Over 10,000 types of cutting tools and accessories are stocked in the company’s new North American Headquarters located in W. Boylston, Massachusetts. The 21,000 square-foot facility also serves as a technology center. Milling, thread cutting, and workholding seminars will also be conducted at the technology center.
