Wordia Grooving Inserts

Worlida Superhard grooving insert application case: Significant 73% increase of tool life in tranmisstion input shaft machining

?? Application

Grooving is a common process in the automotive and transportation industries, as well as in aerospace, petrochemical and construction machinery. It is widely used in connection, transmission, positioning, sealing and lubrication, such as piston ring grooves in engines, keyways and circlip grooves in gearboxes or shafts in reduction gears.Based on the diversity of the groove,the groove machining can be categrized to multiple classifications and types, based on the shape, size, accuracy, location and function and processing methods, etc. For example, the processing methods include milling grooves, turning grooves, broaching grooves, grinding grooves, etc. The functions include keyway grooves, circlip grooves, seal grooves, oil grooves and thread grooves.The positional classification involves external circular grooves, face grooves, internal grooves and flat grooves.This article will focus on Worldia's turning groove machining technology and its related products, analyzing its advantages and application in depth.

Features of Worldia superhard grooving inserts

?Reliable positioning and clamping. Different from the commonly used elastic clamping method, Worldia uses a specially designed double clamping method of screws and positioning grooves, which makes the blade positioning and clamping more reliable.

?Flexible and wide range of applications. One toolholder can hold both external grooving inserts and inserts for cutting off, external threading and contour cutting. One insert can be used for external grooves, face grooves or internal grooves by simply changing the design of the cutting edge. It can be customized according to the different needs.

?Standardization of commonly used models. Worldia provides the standard specifications and standing stocks, to facilitate the customer's choice and timely delivery. Worldia’s grooving inserts are based on the customer's processing of some common products, such as the standard size of the ring spring groove, the snap ring groove, as well as the common specifications of the external thread, groove and cut-off products.

?Diverse superhard grooving insert grades. Based on different characteristics of machining non-ferrous metals, hardened steel and cast iron, Worldia provides various PCD/PCBN superhard grades for customers.

??Application case

In one case, the customer originally used imported PCBN uncoated grooving inserts. However, the customer eventually chose Worldia's C2 coated PNH2018 PCBN inserts. PNH2018 grade excels in light to medium interrupted hardened steel machining due to its excellent chipping resistance. In addition, because of the C2 coating, the wear and heat resistance of the blade is further enhanced，moreover screw and positioning groove the double clamping type of the Worldia grooving toolholder provides the third guarantee for this machining solution. In the end, this solution not only significantly increases tool life, but also reduces downtime for tool changes and increases machine utilization, saving customer's valuable time.
