New Ceratizit toolmaker products at AMB 2016

Cutting Solutions by Ceratizit will be presenting for the first time the Ceratizit 3x3 concept at the AMB international metalworking exhibition, as well as informing its customers about the MaxiMill 491 90° shoulder milling system, launched in April 2016, and other new products from its standard portfolio.

The Ceratizit 3x3 concept is a solution designed with the intention to accommodate any market requirement. The package is designed to offer a well-structured portfolio – one that makes it easier for customers to choose the most economical solution.

Uwe Schleinkofer, head of development at Cutting Solutions by Ceratizit, commented: "With our user-friendly 3x3 concept, customers have no trouble in finding solutions for their daily challenges. Complexity is a thing of the past.”

The carbide manufacturer will also showcase the recently launched shoulder milling system MaxiMill 491, the new high-performance cermet grade ColorstartM CTEP110 and the MaxiDrill 900 insert drill, as well as carbide grades and blanks for the production of solid carbide tools and shanks.

With the MaxiMill 491 milling system, Ceratizit is exploring new technological avenues. "We have rethought the shoulder milling process and made it easy," Dr Schleinkofer said. The new shoulder milling system with its eight usable cutting edges produces profiles of exactly 90°.

Mario Wolf, milling product manager, explained: "Compared to the products of its competitors, the MaxiMill 491 has a very attractive price per cutting edge." Moreover, he continued, the tool changing times are reduced as the system is suitable for both roughing and finishing, and the new insert seat design makes quick insert changes a simple matter.

"The ultra-modern manufacturing technology guarantees that the precision inserts, which are produced with tolerance H, achieve outstanding axial and radial run-out, long tool life and high-quality surfaces," adds Mr Wolf. With their irregular pitch and optimally adapted approach angles, the tools ensure reduced vibration and a smooth cut combined with low power consumption.

Ceratizit's presentation is at stand B06 in hall 2 at AMB 2016, to be held in Stuttgart from 13-17 September.
