At booth 108A in hall B2, visitors can expect not only the proven range of tools but also an expanded selection of 3D-lasered chip shape geometries, the versatile simmill 9W milling tool system, and newly developed length-adjustable holders. A special focus is also placed on custom tool solutions for machining small diameters.

With the 3D-lasered chip shape geometries, SIMTEK sets new standards in chip control. This technology not only increases process reliability but also extends the tool life.

The introduction of laser geometries marks a tremendous advancement in tool technology. With them, our tools are not only sharper and more precise but also capable of reliably meeting the demands for chip control,” explains board member Norbert Seifermann.

According to SIMTEK, the 3D-lasered tools are ideally suited for applications in the automotive industry, medical technology, and other sectors with high demands for precision and process stability. The number of customers using SIMTEK's chip removal tools with 3D laser geometries has increased more than tenfold since 2019.

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 groove, separation, and slot milling - for example, in the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, and demanding precision applications.

With the simmill 9W series, we bridge the gap between classic modular exchange tools and monoblock solutions,” explains Norbert Seifermann.

Thanks to an innovative tooth technology, the system ensures maximum stability and precision - even with milling depths of up to 16.5 mm in the standard range, which far exceeds 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 excels in both efficiency and sustainability. In the custom area, the application possibilities regarding diameters, widths, and depths are significantly greater.

Length-adjustable holders for maximum flexibility

The length-adjustable clamping holders and carrier tools presented at the Metalshow & TIB are specifically designed for small series production and individual requirements. Highlights include the simturn DX clamping holders with stepless length adjustability and patented ME clamping principle, which provides high stability even with long overhangs.

Due to their versatility, the length-adjustable holders are not only particularly economical and flexible to use but also contribute to reducing the variety of tools on the user side.

The range covers a wide application spectrum: from machining small holes starting from Ø 4.7 mm with simturn AX carrier tools, to simturn DX carrier tools for holes starting from Ø 7.0 mm, and larger diameters starting from 10.5 mm with simturn PX systems.

With these products, we enable our customers to reduce tool inventories while still being flexible in responding to new manufacturing requirements,” emphasizes Norbert Seifermann.

High-precision tools for small diameters and individual requirements

A growing segment at SIMTEK is the development and manufacturing of tools for machining in the smallest diameters. The standard range already includes numerous tools from the product families simturn AX, simturn DX, and simturn PX, which have been specifically developed for this purpose. However, users at SIMTEK are not limited to the use of standard tools. With more than 10,000 custom tool concepts annually, SIMTEK offers tailored tool solutions for applications in small diameters.

Due to years of experience in the custom area and the use of lasered chip geometries, users benefit from economically usable custom tools even with small batch sizes - regardless of whether these are based on existing standard tools or developed entirely from scratch.
