Milling chemical fibers in cold processes

Man-made fibers are used in industry primarily to adapt plastics to various requirement profiles. From viscose to rubber, the range of man-made fibers is very wide.

During the machining process of composites with man-made fibers, each fiber is exposed to the tool used - just like the surrounding matrix. This results in a very complex requirement profile for the tool used.

Polished chip flutes for high chip evacuation speed

The specialized tools from the Hufschmied The Universal-Line and the Sharp-Line are ideally suited for milling the matrix as well as the fiber: The sharp cutting edge geometries result in a relatively cold machining process. The polished chip flutes ensure a high chip evacuation speed. Both properties minimize fiber protrusions and material smearing on the components.
