Cutting Tools & Tooling

In the manufacture of cutting tools for metalworking, the dovetailing of climate and environmental protection with production profitability is becoming increasingly important.

When compared to competing drills, the DC180 Supreme has a tool life that is about 50% longer. An additional benefit for the DC180 drill is universal application at the highest cutting speeds. The drill is suitable for high production volume applications with a large number of holes, such as in the automotive industry.

DX200 directly binds the diamond particles without using binder materials. This allows the grade to have an extremely pure cutting edge, making it an extremely effective tool for machining application-specific components that demand high levels of material purity, such as metal medical implants and sputtering targets for semiconductor applications.

Cera-Cut End Mills are designed for the consistent cutting of high-temperature resistant materials such as Inconel, Hastelloy, and Nimonic as well as the machining of hardened tool steels. Cera-Cut is also suitable for making interrupted cuts, and offers a tight cutting diameter tolerance ranging from -0.0008" to -0.0016" (-20 to -40 microns), depending on the tool diameter.

The global manufacturer has added five variants of square shaped positive inserts for depths of cut up to 6.4 mm to its Pramet brand. The range is suitable for a variety of general engineering and maintenance and repair operations (MRO) machining, with several application-specific geometries and grades available for machining any workpiece material.

ARCH Cutting Tools Marketing Director Rachel Dresser took time during Eastec 2023 to highlight the company's product series for KEO, Ultra-Dex, Patriot High Performance, and Revere, as well as its RECON360 remanufacturing service.n

Ceratizit, a Plansee Group tooling company, will introduce the first standard for calculating and classifying the CO2 footprint of carbide products at EMO Hanover 2023, a trade fair for production technology.

Designed for extended tool life and smooth drilling at high metal removal rates, Drill Fix PRO has outboard inserts that feature a wiper geometry for smoother surface finishes and larger coolant channels for high-volume flow.

The Z-Carb HPR portfolio is equipped with various lengths, reach, square, and corner radius styles, along with new chip breaker options to address different machining situations. These end mills are coated with Ti-NAMITE-M and Ti-NAMITE- A, ensuring superior performance even in difficult-to-machine materials like Titanium and Stainless Steel.
