Recent Cutting Tools from Kennametal, Star SU, and Seco Offer Improved Tool Life and Precision
Cutting tools are basic to gear manufacturing. Whether it's a hob, broach, shaper cutter, or skiving tool, the object of cutting tools remains the same: material removal that is fast, accurate, and cost-effective. The field tends to evolve gradually in the machines, materials, and coatings that make cutting tools even more useful, but reliable cutting tools are essential to production-process efficiency, and recent solutions from Kennametal, Star SU, and Seco deliver improved wear resistance, removal rates, and precision.
Spindles Repaired and Balanced for Higher Performance
PDS provides better-than-new spindle repairs for precision machining applications. Two-step balancing yields; minimized vibration well within specs, properly dressed grinding wheel, optimal finish with eliminated part chatter marks and precision profile, waviness, size, taper, and roundness tolerances met. Standard delivery time is 3-5 days, with emergency service available.
Optimized design for best performance: Gear skiving tools
Due to its process-specific kinematics, skiving can be a complex and unforgiving process. Liebherr is consistently working on the development of its gear skiving tools. With the help of a simulation, Liebherr can identify potential tolerances in the process kinematics. The findings are then used to maximize tool life and increase cost-efficiency.
