HIgh-Q Tools






       for Machining





       Intelligently











        What is the IQ of a cutting tool? When talking          The right tool uses progressive tool materials that
        about artificial intelligence, we usually mean          provide increasing cutting speeds and productive
        various man-made products such as robots                cutting. At the same time, the right tool enables

        IQ to cutting tools? In many ways yes it is!            metal removal rates.The chosen tool needs to

        and enabling cost reductions;                           When applicable, the right tool should be suitable

        centers featuring technological options that
        can exceed all expectations. However, when
        purchasing expensive machines, the manufacturer
        looks to their maximal load ratio: ideally nonstop
        cutting throughout 24 hours! Here suddenly
        attention is drawn to the tool – this tiny little link
        may be a reason of unwelcome lost time. Hence,
        users require tools that are very reliable and have
        a predictable tool life, and, if possible, meet the
        requirement of little or no setup time. Furthermore,
        the correct tool ensures easy cuts and vibration
        free machining. The results are obvious: less
        power consumption and reduced machine wear.
