Small tools for low frequency vibration cutting

LFV technology optimizes chip management with low frequency vibration cutting, providing an innovative production solution for difficult materials and deep hole machining.
■ Overview
LFV (Low Frequency Vibration) Cutting Technology involves applying fine vibrations to the tool during the cutting process to finely break up the chips, preventing them from tangling during machining. This technology enables deep hole drilling, threading, and precision machining of difficult materials, ensuring stable continuous processing on automatic lathes. It provides superior efficiency and high-quality finishes for precision and complex machining, such as automotive parts and small medical components. Support and product supply related to this technology are provided by MMC Hardmetal (Thailand) Co., Ltd. within Thailand.
■ Features
- Efficient Chip Disposal: Finely breaks and efficiently ejects chips during cutting, preventing machine stoppages and damage to the machining surface.
- Extended Tool Life: The vibrations during cutting reduce cutting resistance, leading to less wear on the tool and extending its life.
- Capability for Difficult Materials: LFV technology is suitable for materials and shapes that are normally difficult to process, ideal for machining high-precision parts for medical and automotive applications.
- Reduced Environmental Impact: The generated chips are shorter, making disposal and recycling easier and more environmentally friendly.
■ Specifications
- Applicable Machines: Automatic lathes (e.g., CNC automatic lathes)
- Vibration Modes: Three selectable vibration modes (set according to the degree of chip breakage and machining conditions)
- Compatible Materials: General materials such as SUS304, S45C, and difficult-to-machine materials
- Cutting Mode: Wet cutting (using oil)
■ Applications
LFV technology is used in a wide range of fields, including automotive parts, small and precise medical devices, office equipment, and home appliance components. It is particularly suitable for operations prone to chip tangling, such as deep hole drilling, small diameter hole drilling, and threading.
MMC Hardmetal (Thailand) Co., Ltd. provides products and support using LFV technology within Thailand, enabling high-efficiency and stable machining with the implementation of LFV technology.
