Fräserköpfe

Fräserköpfe, also known as milling heads or cutter heads, are essential cutting tools used in milling machines to shape and remove material from a workpiece. They are designed with multiple cutting edges arranged around a central body, allowing for efficient material removal and the creation of various shapes and profiles. The design and configuration of fräserköpfe vary widely depending on the intended application, the material being machined, and the desired finish.

Common types of fräserköpfe include face mills, which are used for surfacing operations, end mills, which are used for creating slots, pockets, and contours, and form mills, which are designed to produce specific shapes like gears or threads. The cutting edges are typically made from hardened steel, carbide, or high-speed steel, chosen for their durability and ability to withstand high temperatures and pressures during cutting.

The selection of the appropriate fräserkopf is critical for achieving optimal results in machining. Factors such as the diameter of the head, the number of teeth, the rake and clearance angles of the cutting edges, and the type of coating all influence the cutting performance, surface finish, and tool life. Proper maintenance, including sharpening and cleaning, is also crucial to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of fräserköpfe. Their versatility makes them indispensable in various industries, including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and woodworking.
