Seco Jabro®-Mini JM500 Delivers Visible Improvements for Micromachining
With the Seco Jabro®-Mini JM500 line of more than 180 micro end mill products, production facilities effectively and reliably machine small and nano-sized parts that are often too small for the machining operation to be easy to see. The end mills ensure process control along with predictable cutting-tool performance for these challenging micro applications, typically found in demanding industries such as aerospace, medical and 3C (computers, consumer electronics, communications).
HQ_IMG_Jabro_JM500_Range.jpgThe optimized grade, geometry and coating of the Jabro®-Mini JM500 line generate outstanding surface finishes on parts made from diverse materials, including steel, stainless steel, heat-resistant super alloys and titanium. The geometries incorporate 30-degree helixes and 3-degree rakes, offered in two, three and four-flute versions of torical and ball-nose styles. An all-round carbide grade with polished SIRA coating helps these tools further excel in machining the targeted tough materials at the lowest possible cost per edge.
Jabro-Mini JM500 end mills come in DMM 4mm and DMM 6mm shank diameters, seven different overhang lengths from 2 to 20* DC, and in 0.2mm to 3mm flute diameters. With such a wide selection, users can separate part processing into stages and use the shortest-possible tool overhangs at each stage to minimize the risk of tool deflection, potentially saving up to 50 percent of machining time and increasing feed rates.
