Cast machining made easy

Our recipe for you to machine cast iron quickly and easily:

  • Matched cutting materials - for this we have 25+ ceramic grades and many CBN cutting materials.
  • Standard and special tools
  • Application engineering support - also on site worldwide.

These three key components make your cast iron machining fast, easy, process-reliable and economical.

For the optimal Machining of Castings

Ceramics & CBN

Machining is economical when optimum cutting values can be achieved. In order to achieve this, it is important to use the right cutting materials in terms of the cutting material - material pairing. The following table shows how our cutting materials are best suited for different materials. You can rely on us to determine the optimum cutting values. More than 60 years of machining experience is a wealth of knowledge that enables us to solve machining problems in the best possible way.

By the way: We are of course there for you when it comes to selecting the optimum cutting material, the suitable machining strategy and the appropriate tool - even for special tools.

High-Performance Machining with the ICT Tool System

Process reliability - one of the key issues in machining. With our ICT clamping system, we have created a clamping system for you and your machining tasks that shows its strengths here. It doesn't matter whether you need to clamp the cutting insert with flat style, with or without chipbreakers, or whether you need notch style clamping. The most common clamping variants can be realised with our ICT system, right up to pin-style clamping.

Cooling, even with high pressure. Our ICT tooling system is also available as a high-pressure tool for certain clamping variants. This brings the coolant as close as possible to the cutting zone - which in turn also ensures reliable chip breaking.
