Tungaloy is a pioneering Japanese manufacturer of cutting tools and industrial products, established in 1929 as Japan's first company to develop cemented carbide. The company offers a diverse range of products, including indexable inserts, steel products, wear-resistant tools, civil engineering tools, and friction materials. Tungaloy's solutions cater to various industries, such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and energy, focusing on enhancing productivity and efficiency in machining processes. With a global presence, Tungaloy continues to innovate in material development and cutting tool technologies, maintaining a strong commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
Tungaloy has introduced MiniV-LockGroove groove and thread turning tool series designed specifically for use on Swiss-type automatic lathes. The new groove and thread turning tools include 8×8, 10×10, and 12×12 millimeter square shanks that are commonly used on those machines.
DrillForce-Meister exchangeable head drill system incorporates a head clamping system that uses a unique error-proof asymmetric seat and a screw setting, promising process reliability in large-diameter hole making ranging from 20.0 to 41.0 millimeters. Also, the optimized flute design of the drill body provides smooth and stable chip evacuation in a wide range of materials.
Tungaloy has introduced enhanced FixRMill round insert “button cutter” line that boasts impressive performance, while providing tool reliability, in copy milling of curved surfaces of stainless steel and difficult materials in 5-axis machining.
Creative Technology Co. is a leading plastic mold company in Japan that has been in operation for 45 years now. The company specializes in design and production of molds used for large plastic parts in automobiles. Their special injection molding machines allow the company to test and evaluate the molds and offer integrated services to their customers.
Tungaloy continuously expands the advantages of its AddMeisterDrill exchangeable-head drill solution into a smaller diameter range. Ten new DMC precision drill heads have been added to the line for diameters ranging from 4.0 mm (.157″) to 4.9 mm (.192″), expanding the entire range from 4.0 mm (.157″) up to 5.9 mm (.232″).
Tungaloy has announced the expansion of its ModuMini-Turn modular turning tool system designed for use in Swiss-type sliding-head lathes with new exchangeable cutting heads for parting and profiling applications. In addition, the shank lineup has also been expanded for efficient finish machining processes.
Tungaloy has developed a new HS-style chipbreaker for its CBN-tipped insert series to ensure reliable chip breaking and control during hard part turning at elevated parameters. In hard part turning applications, CBN inserts are predominantly used for finishing processes that require extremely close tolerances of up to RA=0.8a; this translates to low feed rates and light D.O.C.
