Machining carbon fiber has always been tough and carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) has abrasive properties that can be hard on tools. Overcome any CFRP challenge and achieve 30-50% greater tool life with the newly upgraded range of tools from Seco. Our comprehensive kit of CFRP tools now comes with an optimized grade, extending tool life. Plus, with the help of Seco experts, you can easily receive the custom solutions you need to handle any CFRP composite material properties at the greatest possible machining efficiency.
Achieve Longer Tool Life For Even More CFRP Productivity
With its abrasive properties and wide range of composite configurations, carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) is one of the most challenging materials to cut in a way that’s efficient in both cost and time. Accomplish both goals at once with the newly improved range of CFRP machining solid end mills from Seco. Our ten innovative geometries have been made even more capable with an optimized carbide and DURA coating combination designed to be the best possible grade for the material – and offer 30-50% better tool life for cost-effective, reliable CFRP processes.
Make Tough CFRP Challenges Easy With A Complete Kit Of Optimized Tools
Few things in machining are more complicated than handling CFRP materials. Fiber placement and density, the resin material, and unique built composites make carbon-fiber machining difficult at the best of times. Overcome these challenges with the help of Seco. We offer a comprehensive range of 10 geometries for CFRP machining, each designed for the highest level of reliability for a specific application area.
Solve Machining Challenges For Any CFRP Composition With SECO Expertise
When dealing with CFRPs, issues such as poor workpiece quality, unreliable manufacturing processes, delamination, glazing, and fiber pull-out are common – and for every new CFRP combination, new solutions need to be found. Instead, rely on the expertise of your partners at Seco Tools. Our wide-ranging experience with all CFRP materials allows us to help you find the optimal combination of geometry, carbide grade, and coating thickness for your unique application needs.
