Bangalore, India – Kennametal India Ltd has introduced the new Grooving Universal Positive Profiling geometry (GUP-V), which expands on its ‘Beyond Evolution’ grooving & cut-off platform. With the addition of the new V-shaped single-sided insert, ‘Beyond Evolution’ can now cover more applications than ever before while saving tooling costs.
The GUP-V profiling insert, like all other ‘Beyond Evolution’ inserts, utilizes a proprietary Triple-V seating design with contact on the top, bottom, and back of the insert, providing superior rigidity that results in excellent surface finishes and dimensional accuracy while delivering the highest metal removal rates.
Stating that the company has continued to focus on enhancing the versatility of the ‘Beyond Evolution’ platform since its introduction, and the new GUP-V multidirectional profiling insert is no exception, Robert Keilmann, Product Manager, Kennametal, commented, “Together with the other insert geometries, users can now groove, cutoff, face, and turn a wide variety of materials with just a single tooling system. Simply put, when a customer adopts Beyond Evolution for their turning needs, they do not need anything else. It is that versatile.”
