IMTS: KOMET's expanded milling line, and more

Particular highlights to be found in the KOMET booth at IMTS include:• KOMET Milling Tools: Built on the success of its line of drills, KOMET features an expanding lineup of milling tools, including indexable, solid carbide and PCD milling cutters intended for various milling operations. Of note are the Quatron hi.feed milling cutter, which is ideal for high-speed and plunge milling, and the hi.aeQ face mill, which features a set of tangentially positioned indexable inserts, each offering eight usable cutting edges for cost-effective machining and long tool life.• KOMET BRINKHAUS ToolScope: KOMET BRINKHAUS is the KOMET brand for process monitoring and adaptive control. The ToolScope is a “black box”-like device that connects directly to the CNC machine, detecting, recording, and analyzing data from machine runs to find the peak running parameters for machining operations and prevent tool breakage. Customers benefit from informative indicators, automatic configuration, and a large memory.• Standard and Custom Solid Carbide Tooling: KOMET is renowned for the quality of its indexable tools, but it is a less-known fact that the company also offers an extensive line of quality solid carbide tools for drilling, reaming, milling and threading operations. Stop by the KOMET booth to see the wide offering of their standard catalog, or get an instant quote for made-to-order multi-step drills, or custom milling cutters. These special tools are available with a short lead time from all KOMET distributors and partners. • KOMET SERVICE: Offering the support required with solid carbide tooling, the KOMET SERVICE platform, debuted at IMTS 2012, is growing quickly. Six independently owned and operated shops with significant experience in the manufacture and refurbishment of solid carbide tooling have joined the KOMET SERVICE network in the past year. As a KOMET SERVICE Partner, shop owners and their employees receive training on the manufacture, sharpening, and regrinding of genuine KOMET tools, and get the full support of KOMET behind them. Companies interested in learning more about the benefits of joining the network are urged to book an appointment with Tom Whennen, Manager of KOMET SERVICE in North America (Thomas.Whennen@KometGroup.com). • KOMET DIHART Reamers: KOMET is particularly pleased to show off two of its newest products: the Fullmax, a universal, solid carbide reamer, and the Duomax, the only indexable cutting ring on the market, alongside its wide range of proven reaming tools.• KOMET JEL and Bass Threading Tools: From the BGF all-in-one drilling, chamfering and thread milling tool, to a complete range of machine taps and roll form taps, and all the necessary holders and accessories, KOMET offers high-performance tools for all threading applications. Learn more, see the tools in action, and discuss how to optimize your processes with our threading specialists in booth W-2400.• KOMET RHOBEST Tools: Composite materials can be a challenge, but KOMET’s RHOBEST line of tools provides a special solution for the machining of those non-homogenous materials. At IMTS, KOMET will show how its unique geometries and ultrananocrystalline diamond coatings stand up to even the most demanding materials.• Komet TwinKom Twin Cutter Bridge: A new, lightweight, and versatile tool, the TwinKom twin cutter bridge is particularly adept at the internal or external machining of large diameter bores from 365 mm to 2,000 mm. KOMET will have its memorable one-meter TwinKom bridge on display at IMTS, showing that while they always pay close attention to the small details, they never forget the larger picture.• Live demonstrations every hour: IMTS attendees are invited to KOMET’s hourly live demonstrations to see how cutting-edge KOMET tools perform in real-world applications.IMTS 2014 is sure to be an exciting event, and KOMET’s presence will only add to the energy. KOMET invites visitors to their booth to see the latest developments in tooling, and to learn how they, too, could be on the cutting edge.
