Inside YG-1's New Products: Total Tooling Solutions Unveiled at IMTS and AMB

YG-1 successfully showcased its latest innovations at two cutting tool exhibitions: IMTS in Chicago, USA, and AMB in Stuttgart, Germany. During the events, YG-1 presented new products that embody its advanced technology, capturing visitors' attention. This article introduces the highlighted exhibition products and outlines their key features.

1. HOLEMAKING

• Solid Carbide Dream Drill X with RCH-Coating: With the advanced RCH-coating technology, Dream Drill X represents a significant leap forward in drilling tool performance. It offers exceptional wear resistance, high heat endurance, and chipping protection.

• Indexable Drill X-Drill SYMX: A new captive type of X-Drill SYMX maximizes cost-efficiency and versatility by fully using all four corners and enabling the same insert for both the center and periphery. Its twisted coolant channels and surface-treated flutes provide optimal chip evacuation, stable machining, precise dimensional accuracy, and excellent hole quality.

2. THREADING

HSS-PM Synchro Tap with Internal Coolant: Synchro Tap with Internal Coolant is available across all types, including spiral flute, spiral point, straight flute, and form taps. The axial and radial coolant features reduce heat and extend tool life even at higher spindle speeds.

HSS-PM Prime Tap with X-Coating: Prime Tap is a high-performance multipurpose tap for CNC machining in various ductile materials, offering excellent heat and wear resistance with its proprietary X-coating.

HSS-E YG Tap Chip Breaker: YG Tap Chip Breaker is a trouble-shooter for chip control, specifically designed to break long chips into smaller, more manageable pieces, preventing bird nesting and improving tapping performance.

3. MILLING

Premium Solid Carbide End Mill X1-EH: X1-EH is designed for high-accuracy fine-finishing in hardened steels offering exceptional surface finishes and tool life. Its advanced C-coating provides superior wear and heat resistance, while its tight tolerance and h4 shanks deliver precise machining.

i-Smart with Chamfer Type Modular Head: i-Smart with Chamfer Type Modular Head has 60˚ and 90˚ chamfering angles for deburring, chamfering, and other edge preparation needs with industry-standard screw-in coupling for maximum flexibility.

i-Xmill with Modular Head: i-Xmill with Modular Head comes with the industry standard screw-in coupling for maximum flexibility and internal coolant channels for improved chip evacuation and better tool life.

Solid Carbide End Mill Alu-Power HPC with Chip Breaker: It is designed for high-speed aluminum roughing, offering excellent chip evacuation and reduced power consumption. Its advanced chip breaker geometry enhances productivity while minimizing issues like re-cutting chips and related concerns involving machine, spindle, and workpiece fixtures.

Solid Carbide End Mill TitaNox-Power HPC: TitaNox-Power HPC’s new double taper core design is optimized for improving chip load capacity and tackling heavier side cutting and slotting, resulting in higher productivity and longer tool life.

YG SM3 MILL TPKT: This 3-corner positive 90˚ shoulder milling insert is engineered for smooth cutting with reduced force, featuring a high-helix cutting edge and positive rake angle for optimal chip formation. It now includes TPCT-AL inserts for aluminum machining and comes in 07, 11, and 16 insert sizes.

YG SM6 MILL WNEX: This 6-corner negative 90˚ shoulder milling insert is designed for high economic efficiency and high productivity. Its sharp cutting edges reduce cutting forces and vibrations, while the curved cutting edge minimizes mismatch during stepped milling. The wide wiper flat ensures an excellent surface finish, and the chip groove design enhances smooth chip evacuation.

YG TM4 MILL LNKU: It is a 4-corner, 90˚ tangential milling insert designed to enhance productivity in various milling applications. It features a high rake angle for reduced cutting forces, a wide wiper for superior surface finish, and an elongated cutting edge for deep cuts.

4. TURNING, PARTING & GROOVING

YG3115 Turning Grade: YG-1’s the next new generation CVD coated grade for steel is designed for elevated cutting speed with reliability of longer tool life. It is great solution for both continuous as well as interrupted cuts.

YG2025 Turning Grade: YG2025 CVD coated grade is optimized for stainless steel applications. It achieves exceptional performance with a new substrate and coating technology.

YT100 Cermet Turning Grade: YT100 cermet turning grade takes surface finishes to new heights. It covers a wide range of work materials such as steel, cast iron, and stainless steel.

UH & UT Turning Insert Chip Breakers: These new single sided inserts are optimized for heavy turning. UH, general chip breaker with helix angle on the cutting edge enables smooth cutting at large depth of cut and reduces cutting force. UT, heavy roughing chip breaker delivers a stable machining performance.

GL & GM & RG Turn-Groove Insert Chip Breakers: These double-ended inserts are designed for multitasking machining applications involving external and internal grooving, face grooving, turning, and parting off. The GL chip breaker is well-suited for turn groove and grooving, offering low cutting force and excellent chip evacuation. The GM chip breaker is suitable for turning, grooving, and face turn groove, providing stable edge strength and a comprehensive cutting range. The RG chip breaker, a full radius insert, offers versatility in profile machining applications.

By highlighting these products at each exhibition, YG-1 had the opportunity to showcase its innovation and cutting-edge technology to customers. In addition to highlighting new products, industry-specific displays, and live tool machining demonstrations reinforced YG-1's position as a total tooling solution provider and provided a glimpse into its future.

Anticipate the unveiling of our new products at the next IMTS and AMB exhibitions, which are set to exceed customer expectations in both quality and performance.
