EMUGE-FRANKEN tooling design engineers worked closely with the industry leaders in CAM software to develop milling cutters that would optimize the performance of their software’s capabilities to produce complex shapes with superior surface finishes. By combining advanced cutting-edge geometries with exaggerated radius profiles, Circle Segment end mills mimic large diameter cutter profiles with standard tooling sizes. For example, a 16 mm diameter end mill can produce a 500 mm radius profile in one pass. This significantly increases the step over width of the end mill and reduces the milling cycle time by up to 90%.
