 The TANG-GRIP from ISCAR is a new, single-ended insert for parting, with a revolutionary clamping method.
It offers very rigid clamping in a tangentially oriented pocket and
increases pocket life by three times more than any other SELF-GRIP
mechanism. TANG-GRIP enables machining at high feed rates and provides
excellent straightness and surface finish. It also provides a solution
to the problem of inserts being pulled out during retraction. TANG-GRIP
employs a solid stopper, unlike the friction retaining force in the
current systems. In the SELF-GRIP system the machining forces are
exerted on a very short stopper, while in the TANG-GRIP system,
machining forces are supported by a long and rigid rear wall. Pocket
wear, which occurs during machining and insert indexing in the
SELF-GRIP system, causes a reduction in the clamping force. This does
not happen with the new TANG-GRIP system. The TANG-GRIP system provides
very accurate grooving repeatability.
