4P3040.00-K32
The B & R Automation 4P3040.00-K32 carbide end mill from the 4P Power Panels series delivers precision machining for industrial automation applications. Manufactured by B & R Automation, this tool features a Carbide material composition and specialized K32 coating to enhance surface hardness and reduce friction during high-speed operations. Classified as an End Mill, the 4P3040.00-K32 combines longevity with dimensional stability, making it ideal for demanding contouring and profiling tasks. Its robust design accommodates machining of cast iron, steel, and non-ferrous alloys without sacrificing performance or tool life.
The technical architecture centers on key geometric and tolerance standards. The tool incorporates Number Of Flutes: 4 to optimize chip evacuation and maintain finish quality. Its Cutting Diameter: 4.0 mm and matching Shank Diameter: 4.0 mm ensure secure chuck retention and minimal run-out. The Cutting Length: 13 mm provides ample plunge depth, while the Overall Length: 50 mm grants reach for deep cavity operations. A Helix Angle: 30° balances axial thrust against radial chip flow, and the Tolerance: h6 (shank) meets precision-fit requirements. ISO compatibility is rated for Iso Range: P, K, M, expanding versatility across a variety of workpiece materials.
Operational features reinforce the tool’s effectiveness under real-world conditions. The absence of internal coolant capability (Coolant Capability: No internal coolant) simplifies maintenance and reduces potential for chip build-up. The Carbide material core ensures sustained hardness at elevated spindle speeds, while the K32 coating minimizes adhesion and wear. Four flutes accelerate chip removal for uninterrupted milling cycles, reducing cycle times and machine downtime. This combination of geometry and coating technology enables consistent surface finish and tight tolerance retention.
Integration of the 4P3040.00-K32 into CNC and industrial robotic milling centers is straightforward, leveraging standard collet systems for rapid tool changes. The compact design and Shank Diameter: 4.0 mm allow for deployment in multi-axis configurations where space is limited. Target applications include precision mold and die work, medical component machining, and high-accuracy automotive part profiling. The 4P3040.00-K32 is engineered to deliver repeatable performance in automated production environments where reliability and precision are paramount.
