Setup-time Miracles

DGC indexable insert milling cutter

The DGC face milling cutter for steel and cast iron offers an efficient solution for optimizing set-up times in the production process. A key advantage of this tool is the ability to quickly and easily exchange three different indexable insert geometries depending on the application without having to dismantle the tool body. This time-saving replacement process significantly reduces setup time because extensive disassembly work is not required.

Benefits of the DGC Face Milling Cutter for Setup Time Optimization
Time-Saving Insert Replacement: Inserts are replaced without disassembling the tool body, which reduces setup time and increases productivity.

High Efficiency: By using double-sided inserts, the number of inserts required can be reduced, leading to higher efficiency. Up to 16 cutting edges per insert are possible, which extends tool life and minimizes the number of setup operations.

Flexibility and Efficiency: The use of multiple tools, such as the DGC face milling cutter, makes it possible to design multiple machining steps more efficiently. This is an important aspect of setup time optimization, as it reduces internal setup times and increases overall plant effectiveness.

Overall, the DGC face milling cutter offers a practical solution for setup time optimization by simplifying insert replacement and increasing productivity. This enables companies to minimize their setup times and improve the efficiency of their production processes.
