CERATIZIT UK & IRELAND WILL BRING THE VERY LATEST CUTTING TOOL TECHNOLOGY Stand 19-340 CERATIZIT is a cutting tool company, whose advancements in the engineering industry mean that they have a reputation for top quality and high-performance tooling. As one of the forefront companies bringing innovation to the world of cutting tools, CERATIZIT has an ever-growing catalogue with new developments in tooling each year. With an enormous display of hundreds of cutting tools and workholdings, their stand is sure to be a huge attraction to anyone in the metal cutting industry. True to their ethos as a company dedicated to delivering unbeatable technical support and customer service, their MACH stand will be manned by more than 40 engineers to ensure that anyone wanting to enquire about working with CERATIZIT gets the chance to have a useful conversation. Alongside the technical expertise the engineers will be brining to the stand, there will be a huge selection of their highlight tooling from the last 18, all displayed on Fintek are on stand 19-16 at MACH. They will show developments in post-processing and surface finishing, including larger components, superfinishing and mass finishing. Fintek are UK agents for OTEC Präzisionsfinish disc, drag and stream finishing machines. For this year, OTEC has expanded their electro-finishing range. Besides machine sales, Fintek provide a full subcontract service to precision engineers. Processing components for manufacturers in aerospace, motorsport, medical device and more. Manufacturers need speed, capacity and precision to meet in-line production needs. With repeatable surface roughness values down to Ra 0.01µm possible, OTEC stream finishing machines meet these objectives. Automation options include increased chainfeed loading and unloading along with full robotised operation. OTEC SF machines can be equipped with ‘Pulsfinish’. This pioneering technology produces rapid relative motion between the stands manufactured and machined in their UK Technical Centre. With hundreds of items of tooling set to be on display on the CERATIZIT stand, it’s not to be missed for anyone in the market for cutting tool innovation. Amongst the huge selection of tools are three highlight products that CERATIZIT will be showcasing during the exhibition: the HyPower, the WPC Change and the MonoThread. The WPC - Change is an indexable insert drill. Making sure that high quality machining doesn’t have to come at a high price, the WPC-Change and Change UNI combine the well-known advantages of Ceratizit’s WPC high-performance drills with the flexibility of an exchange system, allowing for quicker changeovers and reduced material usage. Whilst being an affordable machining solution, the WPC-Change system is also highly accurate, producing precise holes POST PROCESSING & SURFACE FINISHING – MACH FINTEK STAND 19-16 media and metal workpiece. It achieves this by quickly alternating the direction of the rotating heads. Fast acceleration and deceleration amplify the finishing forces exerted on the workpiece. This produces a perfect finish, faster and without compromising workpiece geometry. All OTEC machines are Industry 4.0 ready. An advanced package is also available on CF, DF, and SF machines. This includes an industrial PC to give more advanced digitalisation. Superior machine monitoring and process optimisation via remote maintenance are clear benefits. Alongside OTEC machines, the company brings to the UK the RENA Technologies Hirtisation process. This allows Fintek to offer AM part post-processing as a subcontract service. Hirtisation removes support structures, powder cakes and partially melted grains. It penetrates extreme geometry complexity and small diameter holes. MACH <strong>2024</strong> sees Fintek reach its 42nd year. Forty-two is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything! At least, according to Douglas Adam’s creation, Deep Thought, a giant computer in his acclaimed book, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Fintek may not be able to verify that answer. Yet, 42 years serving the post processing and surface finishing needs of UK component manufacturers is no small feat. They bring this wealth of cross-industry expertise to their customers. www.fintek.co.uk with diameters of 14-30mm and hole depths of 3xD and 5xD on all machines. Their wearresistant holder makes them durable and ideal for repeated machine use. With the exception of the solid carbide indexable insert, the WPC Change drills are made from completely reusable materials, offering a low-waste, sustainable drilling solution. Specialised for steel and casting materials, the WPC-Change drilling system will prove to be efficient in any machine. Moving from drilling to hydraulic chucks, CERATIZIT’s expansion of their HyPower hydraulic chucks means that even the most difficult machining requirements can be met with ease. For rough and demanding machining operations, the HyPower Rough is tough enough to take on any challenge, and for optimum accessibility in the machining zone, the HyPower Access 4.5° offers itself as a highly flexible adapter for machining contoured components. The chucks come in 16 and 20mm diameters for a 32mm cylinder diameter as well as in variations of 16, 20 and 25 mm for a 40mm cylinder diameter, which all will be on display at the exhibition. 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 ideal 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 can be used to machine any materials, including highstrength and tempered steels, meaning that its performance is guaranteed even in tough machine conditions. For customers looking for a thread milling cutter which will deliver unbeatable performance, CERATIZIT will be highlighting different sizes and variations of the MonoThread on their stand. www.ceratizit.com 6 <strong>Manufacturing</strong> <strong>Machinery</strong> <strong>World</strong>, <strong>April</strong> <strong>2024</strong>
