Fenn Tool sales director Brian Pearce said: “The approach to selling cutting tools into manufacturing processes requires more than simply providing the tool itself and that’s why Fenn has selected Edgecam as a technical partner. Their extensive knowledge in tooling selection and implementation has proven to be invaluable – Edgecam has recently trained four of our engineers with more planned in the near future.”
With a team of 12 field-based sales engineers, Fenn Tool is in a good position to take advantage of the collaboration with Edgecam. In particular, Edgecam’s Waveform high-speed machining strategy has played a key role in two of its UK product launches – the five flute Penta Mill; and the Speedtwister, through its role as UK agent for Austrian carbide and HSS cutting tool supplier, Maykestag.
As well as the company’s expanding cutting tool portfolio, Fenn also supplies complete tooling packages for customer projects from conception through to completion in a wide range of industries including aerospace, automotive, medical, oil and gas and general engineering.
“The partnership between Fenn Tool and Edgecam means we can provide a manufacturing solution with our cutting tool technology,” Mr Pearce continued. “Our customers get a combination of the right tool and software which is a perfect fit for their machine tools, ensuring the best results from their capital investment.”
Wesley Tonks, Edgecam’s strategic partnership manager added: “Cutting tool geometries are now being designed to take advantage of Edgecam’s capability to achieve increased metal removal rates with Waveform – utilising faster spindle speeds, faster feed rates, and deeper (Ap) engagement of the tool.”
