Resharpening endmills The endmill is fully programmed, and can be measured and automatically ground

Producing milling cutters Individual programming Producing endmills Individual programming Virtually no geometrical limits (diameters, number of teeth, etc.)

Even for complex tools, the procedures are simple Producing endmills Even for complex tools, the procedures are simple Example: Small tapered radius cutter (ball nose radius 1mm) with 2 cutting edges

Additional operations can be easily added in any sequence you like. Producing endmills Additional operations can be easily added in any sequence you like. All available parameters are automatically calculated and applied However, all values may still be adapted individually

The tooth body is ground free in both the tapered and the ball areas. Producing endmills The tooth body is ground free in both the tapered and the ball areas. Rapid checking of individual geometry at front and rear of taper

2-D Simulation Simulation of all grinding operations Free choice of position and angle of all cross-section planes Calculation and display within seconds

Choice of cross-section planes during simulation 2-D Simulation Large simulation window Simulation allows comprehensive analysis of tool geometry before grinding The user-friendly interface and simulation facility makes work highly efficient

All grinding operations are simulated 2-D Simulation Analysis of critical corner radius area for following geometry: corner radius 8 mm flute depth 4 mm Simulation allows the smallest details to be analyzed, with no need to grind All grinding operations are simulated

Simulation displays are true to scale Example of an analyze: If the gash out is done without a radius, the contouring error is 0.129 mm. 2-D Simulation Simulation displays are true to scale Distances and angles can be determined to micrometer accuracy

The same cross-section with optimum rounded gash out 2-D Simulation By applying a radius to the gash out, contouring is 100% accurate. The same cross-section with optimum rounded gash out In seconds, with no grinding or tedious measuring, simulation gives the answer

The body can be easily ground free, even on the form step. Drills Step drills The simulation enables you, for example, to optimise multiple flutes very quickly indeed.

The step drill is pre-programmed and is ready to be ground... At this point the machining time can already be determined. Drills Step drills The step drill is pre-programmed and is ready to be ground...

Form cutters Lead type: Helical, axis angle or straight Falling contours with relief angles on all sides Flute form compensation

Sharp edges can be automatically rounded off. Form cutters The required form is read from a DXF file

Form cutters The entire shape can be ground in one process or subdivided into several steps. The axial relief angle along the shape can be programmed separately for each step.

Parallel land width using flute form compensation. Form cutters The flute form can be compensated for when grinding the reliefs. This means the contour can be ground accurately and without distortion.

Profile inserts Grinding or eroding Profile inserts for cutter heads Profile inserts for turning

Also profile inserts can be programmed and manufactured very quickly The position of the profile insert is displayed according to the input data. Profile inserts Also profile inserts can be programmed and manufactured very quickly 1. Programming of freely selected position of profile insert

Display of selected profile Profile inserts 2. CAD data import of cutter or wood profile

3. Universal choice of grinding passes For example: Five roughing passes Profile inserts 3. Universal choice of grinding passes

4. Free allocation of wheels Profile inserts 4. Free allocation of wheels
