Lens and Barrel shape tools are now available in

ANCA’s latest ToolRoom update, offering more

productivity and better surface finish

Enhancements for the DCREM tool type in update 86.00 complete the circular segment cutters family

The Lens and Barrel shape tools in ANCA’s latest ToolRoom path distance during pre-finishing and finishing operations.
update 86.00 is an enhancement to the existing DCREM • The large tangential form radius simulates a Ballnose or
offering. This will allow customers to manufacture complex high Corner Radius Endmill with a large cutting diameter – that’s
performance Endmills with huge cost and time savings for end- how these cutting tools save cycle time relative to a Ballnose
users. Complementing the existing BSB (Barrel Shape ballnose) or Corner Radius tool.
ToolTypes, this release completes the family of circular segment • Not only does productivity improve, but the resulting surface

+ Lens shape combinations of DCREM, known in some industry
segments as circular segment cutters. They are predominantly
used as a replacement for the conventional corner radius tools
in the die mould, aerospace, general machining, and power
generation industry mainly to produce tire moulds, turbine
blades, impeller blades or blisks. The measurement methods
include iView and LaserUltra.

The benefits of DCREMs include reduced cycle time
• The geometry of these Endmills are the large radii in the
cutting area of the respective tool which offer entirely new
possibilities in machining.
• The larger-radius edge permits larger stepover increments
which enables machining with a larger cross over pitch or tool Measurement and compensation with LaserUltra
