PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
Software Package for Waterjet Cutting
The efficiency and speed with which cutting tasks can be
executed is to a great extent determined by proper job
preparation.
Resato
supplies the IGEMS CAD/
CAM software package, specifically
developed for waterjet cutting.
The software package will be fully
installed on a customer’s PC, on which
we will also install the software for
sending/receiving of cutting programs
to/from the CNC controller. The CNC
controller has a cable connection to the
PC.
Important features of the
standard IGEMS software
are:
• Quick and easy operation, including
drawing capability
• Fast and logical workflow for:
o Importing cutting jobs
o Assigning the type and height of
material
o Fast and efficient manual nesting
o Automatic generation of the CNC
program
o Sending the CNC program to the
cutting table
• Import of files in DXF and DWG
formats
• Determination of a material’s
“machinability” through a single test
cut
• The machinability determines:
o Cutting speed
o Slowing and acceleration around
corners and tight curves

New Chipbreaker Solution for High-Feed Milling in
Hardened Steel
Tungaloy is adding its latest chipbreaker innovation to the DoFeed family. The new MH
chipbreaker line is dedicated to machining ISO H workpiece materials.
DoFeed is a popular high feed mill
line designed for 3D-profiling and
contouring ISO H materials, such as
die steels and pre-hardened tool steel
blocks commonly used in the die and
mold industry. The new MH chipbreaker
is developed specifically for machining
hardened steel of 50 HRc or above.

AH8015 and AH8005 are the standard
insert grades of this line, featuring
high aluminum content, multi-layered
AlTiN coating with a dedicated carbide
substrate for excellent resistance to
fracture and wear. AH8015 is designed
for hardened steel of 45–55 HRc, while
AH8005 is ideal for hardened steel of 55
HRc and above.
o Chipping and fracture resistant,
the MH chipbreaker is perfect for
machining hardened steel
o AH8015 for hardened steel of 45
-55 HRc; AH8005 for 55 HRc and
above
45
• At-a-glance:
o High density milling cutter for
ultimate efficiency

A common issue in milling hardened
steel is unstable tool life due to
unexpected chipping or fracture on the
insert’s cutting edge. Incorporating a
large wiper radius on the cutting edge,
MH chipbreaker enables a smooth
tool entry to the hardened workpiece,
reducing the risk of insert failures due
to the abrupt impact at tool entry. The
rake face angle is also optimized to
enhance its robustness during tough
hardened steel milling. Therefore,
premature insert failure due to chipping
and fracture on the cutting edge is
significantly reduced.
