Key to the NEOSWISS concept is a rotary wedge locking mechanism designed to amplify the clamping force and simplify head replacement. The connection between the tool body and head can be opened or closed with a few turns of the locking screw. The head seats on four precision ground contact points which, along with the high force locking mechanism, provide the machining performance you’d expect of a solid tool. This enables more aggressive machining with less vibration which in turn improves tool life. It’s also what provides positioning repeatability of ±0.0008 inch.

ISCAR has also developed a new lever dual lock securing mechanism for improved clamping rigidity intended for ISO turning inserts. The new design, referred to as the COMBI-D-LOCK family, combines the advantages of two conventional clamping methods by the use of a lever and a top clamp. An insert is locked in two directions from the top and the bottom. This provides better stability and rigidity and, in comparison to a conventional lever locking mechanism, improves tool life and increases productivity.

This presentation focuses on the vital role that linear and angular encoders play in ensuring precision in machine tools.

All NEOSWISS shanks and heads are produced with Iscar’s JetCut coolant-through capabilities and can be used with coolant pressures as high as 2,000 psi. The majority of NEOSWISS heads come with two different coolant ports — one exiting above the insert and another below it — to reduce the heat in the cutting zone, improve insert life and assist with chip breakage, control and evacuation. The internal coolant ports, which are designed via computational fluid dynamics and produced with an additive manufacturing process, also eliminate the possibility of chips catching on traditional external coolant nozzles.

Not too long ago tooling options for Swiss-type turning centers were fairly limited. With so much to pack into a small space, there was little room for indexable tooling, and quick-change systems were largely proprietary to a machine, if available at all. Lack of tooling flexibility and lengthy tool setup or replacement times limited the throughput of this very productive equipment.
