SIMTEK Präzisionswerkzeuge GmbH presents its latest innovations at BIEMH in Bilbao, one of the leading trade fairs for manufacturing and automation technology. Visitors can expect an extended selection of 3D laser-cut chip form geometries, the versatile simmill 9W milling tool system and newly developed, length-adjustable holders in addition to the tried-and-tested tool range. There will also be a special focus on individual tool solutions for machining the smallest diameters.
SIMTEK is setting new standards in chip control with its 3D lasered chip shape geometries. This technology not only increases process reliability, but also extends the service life of the tools.
According to SIMTEK, the 3D lasered tools are ideal for applications in the automotive industry, medical technology and other sectors with high demands on precision and process stability. The number of customers using cutting tools with 3D laser geometries from SIMTEK has increased more than tenfold since 2019.
simmill 9W – monoblock performance meets modular flexibility
Another highlight is the simmill 9W tool family. It combines the precision and stability of monoblock tools with the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of modular systems. The system is particularly suitable for applications such as grooving, parting and slotting for example in the automotive industry, in mechanical engineering and for demanding precision applications.
Thanks to innovative toothing technology, the system guarantees maximum stability and precision – even with milling depths of up to 16.5 mm in the standard range, which is far beyond the capabilities of many other comparable tool solutions. With standard cutting widths from 0.5 mm to 6.0 mm and an integrated coolant supply, the series scores highly in terms of both efficiency and sustainability. In the individual area, the application possibilities in terms of diameters, widths and depths are even greater.
Length-adjustable holders for maximum flexibility
The length-adjustable clamping holders and carrier tools presented at BIEMH are specially designed for small series production and individual requirements. Highlights include the simturn DX clamp holders with infinitely variable length adjustability and patented ME clamping principle, which offers high stability even with long overhang lengths.
Thanks to their versatility, the length-adjustable holders are not only particularly economical and flexible to use, but also help to reduce the variety of tools required by users.
The range covers a wide spectrum of applications: from machining small bores from Ø 4.7 mm with simturn AX carrier tools, to simturn DX carrier tools for bores from Ø 7.0 mm, to larger diameters from 10.5 mm with simturn PX systems.
High-precision tools for small diameters and individual requirements
A growing segment at SIMTEK is the development and production of tools for machining in the smallest diameters. The standard range already includes numerous tools from the simturn AX, simturn DX and simturn PX product families, which have been specially developed for this purpose. However, SIMTEK users are not restricted to the use of standard tools. With more than 10,000 individual tool concepts per year, SIMTEK offers customized tool solutions for small diameter applications. Thanks to many years of experience in the customization sector and the use of laser-cut chip geometries, users benefit from economically viable custom tools even for small batch sizes – regardless of whether they are based on existing standard tools or developed from scratch.
