The gear cutting tools from LMT Fette impress with their unique performance, high innovation power, and unparalleled efficiency, and are already considered the ultimate for gear machining. With its passionate commitment to precision, the company ensures that its customers in the industry bring superior quality to the crucial interface between machine and workpiece. Technological progress and changing customer needs are the main drivers of innovations.
Expanded application, design, and manufacturing know-how
"Gear cutting processes are highly optimized nowadays. At the same time, the demands for performance, precision, process reliability, sustainability, and cost efficiency are increasing," says André Bollow, Head of the Gear Product Line at LMT Tools, emphasizing: "With our concentrated gear know-how, our vast experience, our expanded product portfolio, and our enhanced manufacturing capacities and processes, we now offer customers even greater flexibility in technology consulting, more design adaptation options, and additional possibilities to further maximize the capabilities of our tools."
Focus on Hobbing and Gear Shaping
Currently, the focus is on hobbing and gear shaping – two processes particularly suitable for internal and external gears with interfering contours. Among LMT Fette's strengths are special profiles and high-precision quality requirements that must be realized with both cylindrical and conical tools. Hobbing, in particular, is gaining increasing importance due to its advantages in terms of productivity, quality, and efficiency. For example, the necessary gear modifications for e-drives in the automotive industry cannot be produced with the conventional shaping process in sufficiently high quality. The gear specialist supports hobbing with powerful, process-safe tools and a specially developed simulation software – all from a single source.
New Hobbing and Cutting Wheels
The LMT portfolio includes cutting wheels for gear shaping made from PM material, hobbing wheels for hobbing made from PM, carbide, and in WSP versions, tools for hobbing with modules from 0.5 to 8, gear shaping tools with modules from 0.8 to 12, as well as indexable insert hobbing wheels with modules from 3 to 8. Aerospace, automotive – a focus here is on BEV gearbox gears – mechanical engineering, and robotics are important fields of application.
Technology consulting and tool solutions from a single source
"The new products complete our range of gear cutting tools with geometrically defined cutting edges. In addition, we are able to cover larger module ranges. Thus, we can now also manufacture tools with a module <1 mm," André Bollow makes clear and adds: "We realize the optimal solution for the application-specific needs of our customers and bring out the best from each process with an individual tool and process design."
