Patent number: 9527142Abstract: A single-sided tangential ramping milling insert for high speed milling includes opposite insert seating and top surfaces and a peripheral surface which extends therebetween. The milling insert has a reference plane (P) which passes through the entire peripheral surface, midway between the seating and top surfaces. The peripheral surface includes two opposite side surfaces. Each side surface includes a first cutting edge, a second cutting edge connected to the first cutting edge and extending transversely thereto, a ramping cutting edge connected to the second cutting edge and located opposite the first cutting edge, and a rake surface which extends from at least a portion of the first cutting edge toward the insert seating surface. The milling insert includes two ramping relief surfaces, each of which extends from a ramping cutting edge of one side surface towards the first cutting edge of the opposite side surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2013Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Iscar, Ltd.Inventors: Osama Atar, Amir Satran

Patent number: 9475134Abstract: A cutting insert has polygonal first and second end surfaces which are connected by a peripheral side surface, each end surface defining first and second end planes, respectively. The peripheral side surface has first peripheral side portions alternated in the circumferential direction with second peripheral side portions. The first peripheral side portions are inverse copies of the second peripheral side portions. Each peripheral side portion includes first and second sub-faces which form different angles with the first and second end planes. The first and second sub-faces intersect one another between the first and second end planes to form a line which is parallel to the first and second end planes.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2012Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: Iscar, Ltd.Inventors: Amir Satran, Evgeny Tulchinsky

Patent number: 8734712Abstract: A method for manufacturing a cutting insert green body from a sinterable powder, a tool set for manufacturing the cutting insert green body by that method and the green body manufactured by the tool set. The tool set has axially moving upper and lower punches and radially moving side punches. The side punches move slidably on die rods. The side punches and die rods move in channels in a base body on which a cover plate is mounted. The upper and lower punches move in through holes in the cover plate and base body, respectively. The die rods are stationary during compaction of the sinterable powder. The upper, lower and side punches form surfaces of the green body and the die rods form some of the edges of the green body. The green body can have undercuts and the edges formed by the die rods can be non-linear in shape.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2013Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Iscar, Ltd.Inventors: Amir Satran, Alexander Zibenberg
