Custom Grooving & Form Tools
Tools designed from new, modified or made to your specification!
Precision ground bespoke tools for internal, face or external grooving, forming, parting off, groove milling, micro machining and threading.
Through our European and UK partners, a team of experienced tool designers develops the best possible tooling solution for each of your applications. The main focus is always on optimally designing the quality and performance features as well as achieving the best economic efficiency for you.
From semi-customised to fully bespoke solutions, we can deliver the optimal special tools for groove turning, groove milling, broaching and forming including cutting tools and tool holders.
We also work with UK manufacturers for jobs that require a faster turnaround for urgent jobs.
Special Grooving & Forming Tool Examples
Benefits of Special Grooving & Form Tools
Reduced Cycle Times
Machining of a double contour with simturn AX in a narrow bore with twice the feed rate leads to considerable cost savings.
Simultaneous machining of two internal grooves with simturn FX and individually adapted basic holder including cassette and fully precision ground indexable inserts.
Machining time is reduced thanks to a perfectly coordinated double groove/slot Simmill KX milling tool. Precise radial and axial runout is ensured by tightest tolerances.
Wide or Complex Contours
Complete intermal contour / form milling with simmill AX. High machining reiliability due to excellent chip control reducing production down time. Therefore, the complete contour can be machined without any interruptions.
Complete extermal contour / form turning with simturn KX.
Chip Control
Downtime is reduced thanks to optimum chip breaking and the addition of precise coolant flow. This eliminates downtime caused by the removal of the chips and leads to fewer scrapped parts because of poor surface finish or damage caused by uncontrolled swarf.
Difficult Space Conditions
Boring of a deep, strongly tapered bore with multiple stepped simturn AX cutting insert.
Axial groove in a narrow bore with simturn DX cutting tool, perfectly adapted to the interfering contour.
Customised Tool Holding
Special tool holders for applications where a standard tool is not suitable.
