5PC725.1505-K15
The B & R Automation 5PC725.1505-K15 is an integral component of the 5PC Industrial Automation Units series. This turning insert features a parallelogram shape and a K15 grade, optimized for the demanding requirements of cast iron machining. With a 15 mm cutting edge length and a 5 mm insert thickness, it delivers precise material removal while maintaining structural integrity. The primary function of this insert is to enable efficient semi-finishing and roughing operations on cast iron, providing reliable performance under high-speed and interrupted cutting conditions.
Incorporating a neutral hand design, the 5PC725.1505-K15 supports both left- and right-hand toolholders, simplifying setup and tool changeover. The insert’s CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) coating enhances wear resistance and thermal stability, reducing heat build-up during heavy cuts. A 7° relief angle minimizes cutting forces and promotes smooth chip evacuation, while the 0.5 mm corner radius balances edge strength with fine surface finishes. Conforming to ISO tolerance M, the insert ensures consistent fit and repeatability across diverse toolholders. Its ISO code PC725 designation reflects a specialized geometry that maximizes cutting stability and accuracy.
Designed for durability and efficiency, the 5PC725.1505-K15 excels in industrial environments such as automotive, foundry, and heavy machinery manufacture. The insert’s compatibility with cast iron materials guarantees optimal chip control and reduced tool wear, even under prolonged use. By delivering stable cutting performance and minimizing downtime, this insert upholds stringent productivity standards. Its robust construction and precise tolerances translate into extended tool life, cost savings, and improved surface integrity, making it a valuable asset in modern industrial turning operations.
