- Precision toolholders series 1910 SC taking rhombic insert geometries CCFT 06 and CCFT 09
- Grooving and profile turning toolholders series 1920 SD designed for DCFT insert shapes
- Precision ground toolbits ALESA GOLD EXTRA series 4120, 4140 and 4160 compliant with ISO 5421
Toolholders, arbors and mounting adapters ALESA
Milling and sawing accuracy is determined by the dynamic rigidity of toolholding components. ALESA manufactures precision mounting arbors for circular saws, shell end mills and NUTEX clamping systems, securing minimal radial runout and vibration-free mounting in CNC tool spindles.
- Toolholders series 6018 designed for the Nutex Star family with internal high-torque screw
- Cylindrical mounting arbors series 6044 tailored for precision Nutex Mini saw blade discs
- Heavy-duty toolholders series 6048 for Nutex Plus saw units featuring a Weldon drive flat
- Arbors for DIN 1834 disk milling cutters and shell milling bodies with keyway drive slots
Installation and operation guidelines for NUTEX saw systems
The ALESA NUTEX tooling system fundamentally enhances slotting and cut-off machining on CNC machines by eliminating protruding clamping nuts.
When securing Nutex Star or Nutex Mini saw discs onto dedicated toolholders, the reference mounting face and taper must be thoroughly cleaned of oil residue and fine swarf. Torquing the internal locking screw with a calibrated torque wrench prevents distortion across slender saw bodies.
Prior to deep plunge cuts, radial and axial runout along cutting perimeters must be verified within a five-micron threshold. Utilizing recommended feed rates per tooth and continuous flood coolant suppresses thermal concentration around cutting teeth, extending cutting edge endurance.
Selection criteria for circular saw blades DIN 1837 and DIN 1838
Selecting the appropriate tooth microgeometry on ALESA circular saws directly affects cutting productivity and burr formation across workpieces.
Fine-toothed saws manufactured to DIN 1837 with angular tooth form A are tailored for thin-walled profiles, copper tubes and shallow precision slitting where low cutting pressure is essential.
For solid alloy bars and deep sectioning, DIN 1838 saws with curved tooth form B or chamfered chip-divider tooth form Bw are employed. The Bw profile divides chip width efficiently, avoiding blade binding in narrow radial grooves.
Saw blades with titanium nitride coatings or steam-tempered surfaces reduce friction and inhibit adhesion during continuous operations.
Setup and insert indexing procedures for ALESA HEPTA face mills
Cutter bodies series 1330 ALESA HEPTA are designed for high-efficiency face milling across broad surface areas. The primary operational advantage lies in fourteen-edge double-sided indexable inserts XO 06 with a 45-degree lead angle.
During tool inspection, operators inspect insert seats and clamping screws for cleanliness and damage. When an active cutting edge wears out, the insert is indexed to the next locating flank, providing fourteen usable cutting edges per insert.
Uniform tightening torque ensures flush positioning between carbide inserts and cutter locating planes, eliminating micro-harmonics during interrupted milling cuts.
Square shoulder milling parameters with ALESA DELTA shell mills
ALESA DELTA face and shell milling cutters are engineered for semi-finishing and finishing of precise 90-degree square shoulders. Triangular inserts TN 11 and TN 18 with positive rake geometry provide smooth entry into metal blanks even on lighter machine tool structures.
During step-down milling of deep vertical walls, radial engagement depth per pass should not exceed two-thirds of the insert cutting edge length to avoid excessive thermal loads.
When machining alloy steels, internal coolant through-holes in the cutter body ensure prompt chip evacuation from closed pockets and continuous temperature stabilization along cutting edges.
Machining protocols for ALESA VHM solid carbide end mills
ALESA VHM solid carbide end mills made from ultra-fine submicron grain substrates offer dynamic rigidity and high deflection resistance during pocket milling.
Roughing end mills series 2004 with sinusoidal chip-breaker profiles and a 25-degree helix angle shred continuous swarf into short chips, decreasing spindle vibration loads.
For finishing passes and wall profiling, four-flute end mills series 2030 with a 30-degree helix produce surface finishes down to 0.8 Ra. Ball nose cutters series 2008 and 2012 are optimized for multi-axis 3D die profiling.
Minimizing tool overhang inside precision collets maintains cutting stability.
Toolholder maintenance and ALESA GOLD EXTRA toolbit alignment
ALESA lathe tooling programs deliver repeatable turning across carbon and stainless steel alloys on Swiss-type automatic lathes. Rigid toolholders series 1905, 1910 and 1920 feature wedge-lock insert clamping to secure tool point positioning repeatability during rapid production changeovers.
For custom profiles and narrow grooving, calibrated high-speed alloy toolbits series ALESA GOLD EXTRA conforming to ISO 5421 are deployed. Specialized heat treatment with multi-stage tempering imparts high red hardness and impact tolerance.
Toolbit regrinding is performed with fine-grit wheels under flood coolant to prevent thermal micro-cracks.
