Romania is one of the fastest-growing manufacturing markets in Eastern Europe, and that's exactly where SIMTEK will showcase the tool solutions driving this change at the Metal Show & TIB in Bucharest from May 12 to 15. In Hall B2, Stand 142, the company presents lasered chip geometries and the modular milling tool system simmill 9W, two technologies that address process reliability and cost-effectiveness equally.
Romania has developed into one of the most important automotive locations in Eastern Europe: Renowned manufacturers are relocating production here, a dense supplier network has emerged, and with them, the demand for high-precision, process-reliable tool solutions is rising. SIMTEK is prepared for this market: The company has its own sales representative in Romania who supports direct customers and distribution partners on-site. “We are directly present in Romania – this shows the importance of this market for us. Manufacturing companies here are specifically looking for solutions that combine process reliability with cost-effectiveness, and that is exactly our approach,” explains Domenico Laurenza, Marketing Manager at SIMTEK. The Metal Show & TIB in Bucharest offers direct access to professionals and decision-makers from the region.
Lasered chip geometries for reliable chip control
3D-lasered chip geometries enable reliable chip control even with difficult-to-machine materials and complex contours, making them a crucial factor for automated manufacturing processes. Uncontrolled chips can damage tools and components and lead to costly rework. Laser tools address this: They direct the chip specifically out of the machining zone, thereby increasing process reliability even at high throughput.
simmill 9W – modular milling tool system with monoblock stability
The milling tool system simmill 9W follows the MONODULAR principle: It combines the stability of monoblock tools with the cost-effectiveness of modular systems. Compared to pure monoblock tools, the material usage is significantly lower, an argument that gains weight in light of rising carbide prices. In the standard range, up to 12 cutting edges are used for milling depths of up to 16.5 mm; in the individual area, the possibilities regarding diameters, widths, and depths are even greater. The system is suitable for groove, separation, and slot milling, especially in the automotive and mechanical engineering industries.
Length-adjustable holders for flexible small series production
In addition, SIMTEK presents length-adjustable tools that enable users to achieve high flexibility in small series production with fewer tool variants. The length-adjustable carrier tools from SIMTEK are specifically designed for small series production and allow users to respond quickly and flexibly to changing requirements.
The length-adjustable holders are not only particularly economical and flexible due to their versatility and reduction of tool variety, but they also ensure maximum stability and precision thanks to the patented ME clamping principle, even with the additional interface. The range covers a wide application spectrum: from boring tools for enlarging small holes from Ø 4.7 mm with simturn AX, to tools for, for example, boring, grooving, or threading in holes from 7.0 mm with simturn DX, to three-edged boring tools of the simturn PX group for holes from Ø 10.5 mm. “For those who want less setup effort, less inventory, and still the same precision, we provide exactly the right tool with our length-adjustable holders,” emphasizes Domenico Laurenza.
Custom tools for nearly every challenge
The tool developers at SIMTEK always think beyond the limits of the standard range to provide customers with the best possible tool solution for their application case. With over 10,000 custom developments annually, the company supports manufacturers in producing economically even in the smallest batch sizes. This is particularly relevant for medical technology and the machining of micro parts, where special geometries and minimal diameters are often required.
