The products feature compact, four-cornered inserts that are securely clamped in a pocket for indexing re- peatability and tool life stability. The line now includes two chip- breaker styles. The TCG chipbreaker incorporates optimized rake angle and edge preparations and is suited for the automotive industry. The TCP chipbreaker features a large rake angle with a sharp cutting edge. Its maximum depth of cut is 0.14”, enabling a range of applications. To meet the require- ments of small and miniature part manufacturers grooving with R0.004” or smaller, the TCP line also includes inserts with R0.002” corner radii. The series also includes theAH7025 grade, featuring a nano-multi layer PVD coating with high aluminum content for cutting various materials while minimizing common grooving issues including chipping, fractures and plastic deformation on the cutting edge. Modular Tower System for CMM’s —Phillips Precision Phillips Precision offers a modu- lar tower system as part of its Lean Inspection Arsenal workholding line for coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) inspection. First in the line of tower modules is a 2” interlocking sys- tem that can be built both vertically and horizontally. Cubes added horizontally can be turned to any angle and locked securely. The modular system is intended to maximize the CMM work envelope without interfering with probe travel.A “building block” design enables users to determine the height of the setup. A staggered hole pattern adds flexibility for workholding. The modules enable building up the setup both vertically and horizontally. Horizontal cubes can be secured at any angle. Pre-configured systems include several interchangeable components: an adjustable base, 2” × 2” cubes, a 4” blank spacer block, and 2” and 4” posts that connect the system and provide pivot points. Each cube has 10 (¼-20)
