AMG introduced 3-flute aluminum-specific lollipop ball nose cutter,
specially developed for the precision machining of lightweight
automotive components.
This high-performance tool is made from ultra-fine grain carbide
and features a polished flute surface along with a relieved neck
design, effectively solving common issues in aluminum machining
such as built-up edge, chip evacuation difficulty, and tool
interference.
Its unique "lollipop" style ball head enables efficient
high-precision milling of complex cavities, deep grooves, and
ribbed structures on five-axis machines, making it especially
suitable for automotive lightweight structural parts.
Application:
This tool is ideal for the 3D contouring and finishing of
lightweight automotive parts such as battery trays, shock absorber
components, reinforcement ribs, heat dissipation structures, and
internal housing cavities. It performs exceptionally well in
multi-axis operations and interference avoidance is critical.
Specification Table:
| Item | Parameter Range |
|---|
| Ball Nose Diameter (D) | 2mm – 10mm |
| Shank Diameter (d) | 4mm – 10mm |
| Overall Length (L) | 50mm – 100mm |
| Number of Flutes | 3 flutes |
| Material | Ultra-fine grain carbide |
| Structure | Lollipop-shaped ball head + relieved neck |
| Surface Finish | Polished or aluminum-specific coating (optional) |
Working Principle:
The tool features use thin neck design and ball head structure, enter narrow or recessed areas easily for machining without causing interference.
The 3-edge design not only enhances chip evacuation efficiency but
also keep good cutting balance during high-speed light cutting, then achieving high-quality surface finish and contour accuracy.
This tool is particularly suitable for continuous machining with
multi-axis linkage, and can stably handle precision milling tasks
involving various curved surfaces, inclined surfaces, and complex
internal cavity structures. It is widely used in mold
manufacturing, automation components, medical devices, and
precision machining in the aviation industry.
Key Advantages:
High efficiency in aluminum cutting with reduced risk of built-up
edge
Lollipop ball nose design optimized for complex surface machining
Relieved neck prevents interference in deep cavities and ribbed
structures
3-flute design enhances cutting smoothness and surface quality
