Fräswerkzeuge

Fräswerkzeuge, also known as milling tools, are cutting implements used in milling machines to remove material from a workpiece through rotary cutting action. These tools are essential in manufacturing and machining processes, enabling the production of precise and complex geometries in metals, plastics, and other materials.

Typically composed of high-speed steel (HSS), carbide, or other hardened materials, fräswerkzeuge come in various shapes and sizes to suit specific applications. Common types include end mills, face mills, slab mills, and slot drills. End mills are versatile tools used for plunging, profiling, and contouring, while face mills are designed for surface finishing.

The design of fräswerkzeuge often features multiple cutting edges (flutes) that facilitate efficient material removal and improve surface finish. The number of flutes, helix angle, and overall geometry are tailored to optimize cutting performance for different materials and machining tasks.

In addition to their physical design, fräswerkzeuge may incorporate coatings such as TiN, TiAlN, or diamond-like carbon to enhance hardness, reduce wear, and improve heat resistance. Proper selection and maintenance of milling tools are crucial for achieving high precision, tool longevity, and productivity.

Overall, fräswerkzeuge are vital components in modern manufacturing, enabling complex machining operations across industries such as aerospace, automotive, mold making, and general engineering. Their continuous development contributes to increased efficiency, better surface quality, and the capability to machine increasingly complex parts.
