ISCAR engineers have developed a range of unique high precision tools for broaching applications of workpieces in small batches

Broaching product lines
ISCAR has developed 2 standard product lines for broaching. Each product line has inserts & their appropriate holders:

ISCAR XNUWB Line: The XNUWB standard product line provides an indexable solution for parts with hole diameters starting from Ø22 mm and a width range of 5-12mm.

ISCAR SCB Line: The SCB standard line is a solid carbide solution suitable for smaller parts with hole diameters starting from Ø10 mm and a width range of 5-12mm.

Standard inserts are available in IC908 PVD coated grade, suitable for a wide range of materials & machining conditions.

Precision broaching: ISCAR recommends the following machining
tips for precision broaching operations:
• Make a relief groove at the end of the cut
• For better chip evacuation, set the tool in 12 o'clock position
• Always retract without touching the material
• Using coolant is highly recommended
• Avoid interrupted cuts

Typical cutting conditions recommended for broaching
Typical conditions: Vc = 4000 - 8000 mm/min, Ap = 0.02-0.08 mm

Special solutions: In addition to its standard line, ISCAR is also engaged in developing targeted solutions for different broaching applications, such as tooth broaching, square broaching, hexagon broaching and other geometric shapes.

Many industries use broaching to produce high precision components. Typical broaching application parts include gears, transmission shafts, compressor vane slots, pump rotors & bodies, riffle barrels, lock cylinders,etc. No matter which industry, ISCAR's experts can guide a full engineering broaching process to assure maximum productivity on the shopfloor.
