Small-necked solid-carbide end mills

Jabro-Solid2 JS554 solid-carbide end mills offer versatility with smaller neck diameter options, providing greater clearance when machining complex components. Smaller neck dimensions offer easier access to parts clamped in complicated fixturing arrangements, enabling users to take full advantage of 4- and 5-axis machining. Neck sizes are optimized to retain tool rigidity while providing full compatibility with standard toolholder connective systems. The tools can machine materials in the ISO P, M, S, and other material groups.

JS554 end mills provide high stability and low deflection with tool diameters from 3mm to 20mm and typical cutting lengths 2xD +2mm. Reach lengths are 3xDc. The range also includes corner radius and 45° chamfer versions, for cylindrical and Weldon shanks.

Dynamic workholding

The mPower workholding line includes the SpeedLoc precision mounting system, ModLoc modular tooling columns, and SpinLoc indexers. Benefits include:

  • Set-up, change fixtures in seconds
  • Workholding flexibility
  • Optimized manufacturing throughput
  • Reduced operating costs

ModLoc tooling columns have a strong exterior structure, simple to construct ModLoc manifold, and support brackets that securely connect with the fixture plates to form a precise, integrated, high-strength, rigid structure.

The ModLoc system is assembled using Modern’s SpeedLoc locator/fastener system. SpeedLoc allows quick, accurate assembly and disassembly, enabling endless configurations of ModLoc columns.
