PRODUCTIVITY

“It’s added value that I need most.”

Never before have suppliers of

cutting materials and tools been

confronted with this request on a

concerted effort to tap fresh cost-

saving potentials in the metal-cutting

processes. SPK Cutting Tools division

at CeramTec AG en j oys a solid

reputation as value-adding partner

for industry especially in the area

of high-performance machining of

cast iron and hardened steel.

With its ceramic cutting materials

and vast application expertise, SPK is

now regarded as a worldwide pion-

eer and trailblazer when it comes to

productivity improvement and cost-

cutting innovations.

In the continuous production of cast iron

parts,c eramic s are established as ideal

cutting materials. In fact, an ever closer

interac tion between the materials, the

tool holders, and the mac hine tool has

meant c ontinuous improvements in the

use of c eramic s in high-performanc e

environments.

As in the past, new developments from

SPK ceramic cutting materials are playing

a leading role in cost-saving potentials.

There are two main dire c tions of

progress: New c erami c grades for

addressing spec ific applic ation with the

new SL 506 and SL 508 grades.

Secondly, innovations such as the double

notch in the solid CBN cutting material

for tapping added cost-saving potentials.

In order to fully exploit these develop-

ments, innovative c lamping princ iples

are ne essary. The requirements of

stability, reliability while equally c oping

with problems such as clamping element

erosion, the compounding of tolerances,

the size and positioning of the clamping

finger are of great importanc e in the

metal c utting appli c ation. IKS-PRO

(patent pending) is a c lamping system

SPK have c reated that addresses these

requirements to an unpre c edented

degree. The ingenious c ombination of

the IKS-PRO c lamping system and new

utting material suc h as SL506 and

SL508 allows c ustomers to mac hine

more produc tively and c ost effic iently

than before, offering overall enhanc ed

competitiveness.

All-purpose cutting material/tool

solutions are a thing of the past. The

only way to achieve the enhanced

productivity and cost reductions

necessary to sustain competitiveness

is for variables, such as the cutting-

materials, the tool holder, the work-

piece and the machine tool to be

closely matched.

There are often various approac hes for

machining a specific part or component.

Alongside the tec hnic ally most viable,

cost-saving techniques are of increasing

signific anc e to the c ustomer. However,

the issue is not whether technical or eco-

nomic al c riteria enjoy predominanc e

but, if the two sets of c riteria c ombine

for maximum effectiveness.

In order to achieve such a result, the two

sets of criteria must interact to solve the

spec ific metal-c utting problem. This

often poses c omplex problems for the

engineering departments. This is an

area in which CeramTec customers enjoy

an important advantage sinc e they are

fully able to rely on SPK Engineering

Department, experienced in overcoming

hallenges and as your value-adding

partner and skilled in generating cutting

tool solutions that are both tec hnic ally

and economically superior.

The servic es available from this depart-

ment encompass:

•Ceramic grades tailored to the

material to be machined

•Speed and feed recommendations,

taking into account machine tools,

materials to be machined and cutting

materials

•Toolholders designed to optimize

machine tool cycle times.

The department’s efforts are completed

by smart CAD/CAM systems that ensure

optimum results, from the design of the

tool-holders through to production roll-

out. The SPK approach allows us to offer

our customers cost-efficient cutting solu-

tions,making sure that SPK c ustomers

maintain and suc c essfully extend their

competitive edge in today’s competitive

market place.
