CHIP CONTROL REVOLUTIONIZED

Customized And Economical:
3D-Lasered Chip Form Geometries For Maximum Chip Control

Your Advantages

Longer Tool Lifetime

 SIMTEK tools with 3D lasered chip form geometries ensure optimum chip flow and cutting pressure on the tool cutting edge. This has a positive effect on tool life.

High Process Reliability

The optimum chip geometry varies depending on the requirements. Individually lasered chip geometries enable ideal adaptation to machining parameters and thus ensure maximum process reliability.

Shorter Idle Times

3D lasered chip forming geometries enable the use of completely new combination tools. Previously separate tools are thus combined, which reduces set-up and non-productive times.

Superior Chip Control For Varius Applications

The video shows the benefits of tools with lasered chip forming geometries compared to conventional tools with a ground chip forming geometry. In the video you see two different applications: the first application is grooving and longitudiinal turning while the second application shows grooving and profile turning with full radius.

WHAT ARE LASER-CUT
CHIP SHAPE GEOMETRIES?

Process reliable. Economical. Customized.

With 3D lasered tools from SIMTEK, a laser introduces the chip shape geometry into the tool cutting edge. This creates an optimum rake angle that effectively forms, guides or breaks the chips - depending on what the customer's individual machining scenario requires.

ADVANTAGES OF
LASER TECHNOLOGY

One laser, many possibilities.

Among other things, SIMTEK's laser technology enables the insertion of circumferential chip shape geometries with a constant rake and clearance angle. This opens up completely new possibilities: Form grooving tools with a high forming depth or multidirectional machining combination tools (e.g. grooving and longitudinal turning, "Parisian grinding") can now be used reliably and economically. but 3D lasered chip geometries also demonstrate their advantages under difficult conditions, such as high cutting speeds, small diameters or high heat input.
