1 PRESS RELEASE CERATIZIT 3x3 the new complete package for steel turning introduced at AMB Economical combination of carbide grade and chip groove for every machining situation CERATIZIT Austria GmbH, AT-Reutte/Tyrol, 13 September 2016 With the CERATIZIT 3x3, Cutting Solutions by CERATIZIT is introducing a user-friendly concept at AMB which intelligently combines carbide grades and chip grooves making a quick selection of the most economical solution for the turning of steel possible. The carbide manufacturer will also have the MaxiMill shoulder milling system on display along with other new products from their standard portfolio. With the introduction of the new -F50 chip groove, Cutting Solutions by CERATIZIT completes its revised programme for the turning of steel. The innovative complete package under the name CERATIZIT 3x3 offers a seamlessly well-structured portfolio which ensures a user-friendly experience when selecting the most economical inserts solution. Tailored combinations of three chip grooves and three carbide grades made for the finishing and up to the roughing of steel materials, covering all market requirements even in peripheral applications. With our CERATIZIT 3x3, everyone can quickly find the optimal product for their steel turning application, said Andreas Schätzl, Head of Stationary Tools, Cutting Solutions by CERATIZIT. Three chip grooves one solution for every application The CERATIZIT 3x3 optimises the current product range for steel turning applications thanks to three chip grooves: the -F50 for finishing, the -M50 for medium machining as well as the -M70 for roughing. This intelligent combination was made possible thanks to the newly-introduced -F50 chip groove, and has led to both a well-structured and comprehensive portfolio. The chip groove for finishing provides optimum chip control and the ground contact face guarantees high stability of the insert in the insert seat. The sharp edge makes for a smooth cut, meaning a reduced cutting force that leads to lower power consumption on the spindle. This portfolio makes steel machining fun and enjoyable, finds Andreas Schätzl. Thanks to the CERATIZIT 3x3, customers can reduce costs 1

2 and inventory levels while increasing production efficiency at the same time, adds Dr Uwe Schleinkofer, Head of Development at Cutting Solutions by CERATIZIT. The three chip grooves are perfectly adapted to each respective machining situation, which makes a quick and application-oriented selection of the right insert possible. Dr Schleinkofer: Complex was yesterday, wellstructured is now. Grade trio increases productivity The new concept combines a total of three carbide grades with three chip grooves. With it, the operator can cover all application ranges in steel machining: the highly wear-resistant BLACKSTAR TM CTCP115 grade optimises tool life, allowing manufacturing productivity to be greatly improved by increasing the cutting parameters. BLACKSTAR TM CTCP125 is made to be a universal grade for all applications, particularly for medium machining in slightly interrupted cut. The tough COLORSTAR TM CTCP135 grade completes the trio as the specialist for interrupted cut and difficult conditions, all while guaranteeing maximum process security. The latest in shoulder milling and the standard product portfolio In Hall 2 at Stand B06, CERATIZIT is additionally putting the new shoulder milling system on display that was recently introduced to the market: with the MaxiMill 491, CERATIZIT is exploring new avenues in technological terms. The milling system with precision inserts and eight usable cutting edges produces side wall profiles of exactly 90, saves tool changing times and guarantees reduced vibration and a smooth cut with low power consumption for long tool life and highquality surfaces. Additional product highlights and updates Product highlights from Cutting Solutions by CERATIZIT at the AMB are the successful MaxiDrill 900 and recently developed products and programme extensions of the standard product portfolio. One of these is the innovative new cermet grade COLORSTAR TM CTEP110 with a multi-layer Al coating of the latest technology. For the very first time, this cermet grade combines the hardness and wear resistance of a cermet cutting material with the toughness of a carbide. Cutting Solutions by CERATIZIT at AMB: 13 to 17 September, Hall 2, Stand B06, Messe Stuttgart. 2
