Latest cutting tool technologies on show

Ceratizit says that more than 40 engineers are manning its stand at the MACH exhibition in Birmingham this week (15-19 April), ensuring that anyone wanting to enquire about working with the company gets the chance to have a useful conversation. Alongside the technical expertise of the engineers there are hundreds of items of tooling on display.

Among the huge selection of tools are three highlight products from Ceratizit: the HyPower, the WPC-Change and the MonoThread. 

The WPC-Change is an indexable insert drill. Making sure that high-quality machining does not have to come at a high price, the WPC-Change and Change UNI combine the advantages of Ceratizit’s WPC high-performance drills with the flexibility of an exchange system, allowing for quicker changeovers and reduced material usage.

Moving from drilling to hydraulic chucks, Ceratizit’s expansion of its HyPower hydraulic chucks makes it possible to meet the demands of difficult machining requirements. For rough and demanding machining operations, the company says that the HyPower Rough is tough enough to take on any challenge. For optimum accessibility in the machining zone, the HyPower Access 4.5° offers itself as a highly flexible adapter for machining contoured components.

On the thread milling side of cutting tool innovation is the MonoThread, a champion of Ceratizit’s performance line. Delivering an improvement on performance of 20%, this thread milling cutter upgrade is suitable for all standardised thread profiles with all tolerances and especially for asymmetrical, thin-walled, large or very expensive workpieces. The solid-carbide shank thread milling cutters are suitable for machining any materials, including high-strength and tempered steels, guaranteeing performance even in tough machine conditions.
