    CERATIZIT MaxiMill 273 Maximizes Productivity With 16 Useable Cutting Edges  

    Schaumburg, IL, February 1, 2023 – For the utmost in milling productivity, the CERATIZIT MaxiMill 273 Shell Face Milling Cutter provides 16 useable, axially adjustable cutting edges that allow for higher feed rates and guarantee exceptional surface finishes. The MaxiMill 273 is part of CERATIZIT’s line of indexable milling cutters that provide quality and flexibility for all milling operations, whether face milling, shoulder milling or high-feed milling.

    The MaxiMill 273 combines all the advantages of positive and negative inserts in one cutter that boosts stability and cost-effectiveness while reducing vibration for superior surface finishes. With an approach angle of 44.6o and a maximum feed rate of 2 mm/rev., the MaxiMill 273’s high insert thicknesses and strong obtuse corner angles improve stability and contribute to excellent system reliability.

    Long, consistent tool life enables lights-out, unmanned production thanks to CERATIZIT’s state-of-the-art Dragonskin insert coating technology and efficient wear protection. Plus, the Dragonskin coating gives the inserts added strength for even the most demanding of machining conditions.

    The MaxiMill 273 is exceptionally easy to use and utilizes a very simple clamping mechanism that makes incorrect insert clamping virtually impossible, even without additional clamping devices. The cutter allows users to quickly exchange inserts while the tool remains in the machine to significantly shorten setup time.

    CERATIZIT Brings Innovations for Optimized Aerospace and Medical Part Machining to EASTEC   

    Schaumburg, IL, February 15, 2023 – For those shops producing aerospace or medical components, CERATIZIT will bring some of its most innovative tooling and machining solutions to EASTEC specifically developed for optimizing the production of parts for those industries. In booth 5474, the company will showcase the ToolScope and KOMtronic U-axis systems along with the CERATIZIT line of indexable milling tools and range of KLENK solid-carbide drills.

    To ensure aerospace and medical part processing security, the CERATIZIT ToolScope monitoring and control system consists of a suite of specialized modules – process control, machine protection and digitization and documentation – aimed at measuring and optimizing particular aspects of machining operations. In typical applications, ToolScope can often increase process security by as much as 25%, reduce cycle times up to 15% and, with wear monitoring, optimize tool life and provide additional tool reserve usage up to 30%.

    CERATIZIT’s freely programmable KOMtronic U-axis system makes any contour and turning operation possible on non-rotationally symmetrical parts. When combined with custom-made front tools and the optimum selection of inserts, the system successfully performs contours in bores as well as external machining operations. This capability allows shops to reduce production time, improve surface quality and achieve greater accuracy of form. Additionally, the system reduces the amount of required tools and eliminates the need for clamping devices for finish machining on turning machines.

    For part milling performance and flexibility, CERATIZIT’s line of indexable milling cutters encompasses solutions for optimizing and improving all milling operations, whether face milling, shoulder milling or high-feed milling. CERATIZIT will spotlight its MaxiMill 491 and MaxiMill 273 indexable mills. The new MaxiMill 491 has eight usable cutting edges per its newly expanded 9-mm insert size, a precise 90°profile and a durable nickel-coated tool body. The cutter is extremely well suited for all shoulder and full-slot milling applications.

    With 16 useable, axially adjustable cutting edges, the MaxiMill 273 Shell Face Milling Cutter boosts feed rates and guarantees exceptional surface finishes. It combines all the advantages of positive and negative inserts in one cutter that ensures stability and cost-effectiveness while reducing vibration for superior surface finishes. Inserts for both MaxiMill models incorporate CERATIZIT’s state-of-the-art Dragonskin coating technology for efficient wear protection and added strength.

    The CERATIZIT KLENK product line targets the aerospace industry and encompasses advanced rotating tools for drilling. These products are custom-made for customers and used in machining carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), titanium, aluminum and steel components. The tools are well-suited for manual, semi-automatic and automatic drilling operations. With the right carbides, special cutting geometries and wear-resistant coatings, KLENK can counter the different wear mechanisms in challenging material combinations and drastically extend the service life of a tool.

    As a special feature, CERATIZIT will have a custom-made FRACE bike on display at the show. The FRACE mountain bike is made from a 70 kilogram block of 7075 aluminum and milled exclusively with CERATZIT tools. Known for its strength-to-weight ratio, 7075 aluminum is prevalent in the aerospace industry.  Having the FRACE bike on hand allows EASTEC guests to examine CERATIZIT’s precision manufacturing capability and ask questions directly related to their work with similar materials.

    CERATIZIT Fulfils Customer Demand with New In-Stock Products

    Schaumburg, IL, February 22, 2023 – To ensure customers receive the tooling they need as quickly and possible, CERATIZIT offers three advanced tooling solutions that are in-stock and ready for immediate delivery. Among the company’s latest UP2DATE product developments, these innovative solutions include enhancements to the popular EcoCut Series of indexable inserts, the new PolyClamp Verso universal part clamping system and new MaxiLock-N turning toolholders that incorporate the company’s DirectCooling technology.

    Turn and drill ISO-P steels with ease

    To overcome the challenges of turning and drilling steels, CERATIZIT has updated its classic EcoCut to the new EcoCut-P, and extensive tests have shown that the new inserts achieve 15% greater performance than the predecessor models. With the company’s special DRAGONSKIN coating for ISO-P materials, the inserts increase tool life and reduce machining time - thanks to the coating’s optimized layer structure.

    The coating’s mechanical post-treatment induces a unique state of residual stress in the layer surface, which in turn increases process security. The DRAGONSKIN grade CTCP425-P with advanced AL2O3-TiN CVD coating is particularly well suited for when uninterrupted cuts are required. It delivers excellent wear resistance even at increased cutting speeds.

    When it comes to general steel machining with interrupted cutting, the AL2O3-TiN CVD DRAGONSKIN grade CTCP435-P excels in poor machining conditions and in all applications where a high degree of toughness is required.

    Flexible clamping for multi-axis machines

    Featuring universal multiple vices, the PolyClamp Verso from CERATIZIT is ideal for use in 3-, 4- or 5-axis machines, where it easily clamps all part variants. The system’s jaws are slimmed down for this purpose while allowing even more jaws to be clamped per base rail for clamping larger unmachined or finished parts.

    A scale lasered onto the centric vice is a further benefit when it comes to handling. It allows the jaws to be positioned evenly and precisely on the rail, in accordance with requirements. 

    The PolyClamp Verso is equipped with a quick jaw change system as standard. Using just two screws, the fixed and adjustable jaws are released, removed upwards or repositioned. This significantly reduces setup times because each jaw is individually removable without having to dismantle the others.

    Precision targeted coolant extends tool life

    Complementing CERATIZIT’s DirectCooling product range, the MaxiLock-N turning tool holders incorporate two internal coolant holes that aim coolant directly at the cutting edge to prevent wear and ensure stable processes. Using these coolant holes, nozzles direct coolant to the clamping flat from above as well as from below to the flank. This additional flank cooling contributes to the tools ability to extend tool life by 60% compared those that cool only at the clamping flat.

    To avoid interference with workpiece contours, the lengths of DirectCooling Series holders are ideally matched to one another and offer optimal stability and unlimited flexibility. This flexibility is further enhanced with an HSK-T universal standard interface for turning tools that ensures straightforward connection to multifunction machines such as turning/milling centers and milling/turning centers.
