Celebrating 60 Years of Innovation his is ISCAR’s 60th Anniversary Year.
ISCAR continues to expand its existing array of products which established many benchmarks in the global metalworking industry. The new ISCAR IQ campaign introduces several new innovative tool families. DOVE IQ TURN, DOVE IQ GRIP, DO-GRIP IQ , PENTA IQ GRIP, HELI IQ MILL 390, DOVE IQ MILL and HOLD IQ LOCK. These tool families under the new HIGHQLINE campaign assist the user to increase profitability by employing leading-edge engineering solutions. These new ISCAR tools will enable manufacturers to continue to improve their efficiency in metalworking by using modern machining strategies under ISCAR’s new campaign motto “Machining Intelligently”. The new tools focus on increased productivity with smart insert locking mechanisms, which therefore create a more stable machining process. ISCAR has responded to the new market demands resulting from the trend toward high speed machining and mill-turn CNC, with upgrades in both tool and insert geometries, leading to less machine downtime and less labor. Some of ISCAR’s best ideas have resulted from its R&D engineers working with their field engineers, who are out in the real world and listening to the needs their customers. Creativity in metalworking is a way of life at ISCAR. To enhance customer support, ISCAR continues to develop its unique ITA (ISCAR Tool Advisor), a parametric search engine that raises tool and process selection to an entirely new level. In addition to the online version there are applications available for Apples iOS and Google Android operating systems. Part of the total solution, Iscar brings the MATRIX to the shop floor. The MATRIX is the total tool management system to control inventory, streamline purchasing and drive down costs.
Understanding the value of people, Iscar provides resources to support its products and systems from local Application Specialists, Regional Technical Specialists and National Product Teams. Iscar – where innovation never stops… Contact: Iscar at www.iscarmetals.com
