2 Leitz ProfilCut Q and ProfilCut Q Premium Cut for cut more quality and quantity With the new generation of the proven profile tooling system, Leitz sets new standards in precision, cutting quality and handling. The Premium version of ProfilCut Q allows the highest cutting speeds in industry. Whether in handcraft or industrial manufacturing of windows and doors or in the furniture production, ProfilCut Q guarantees high-precision results. The new Leitz ProfilCut Q profile tooling system is very much appreciated by the users. The tool manufacturer has supplied its new ProfilCut generation, amongst others to core markets such as Germany, UK, France, Italy, China, Brazil and USA. About 60% of ProfilCut Q was ordered in the Premium version. This is approved for cutting speeds up to 120 metres per second. Multi-purpose application The new design of the Premium version of ProfilCut Q has been honoured with the Red Dot Award It s not just the window manufacturers who use ProfilCut Q. The new profile tooling system has also been supplied to many furniture, interior door and stairs manufacturers. Even plastics and aluminium processors have discovered ProfilCut Q for themselves. The new Leitz ProfilCut generation can be used universally. Thus it can be equipped with the RipTec- or Integral-Technology and by this becomes an expert for cross-grained wood processing or for visible surfaces of maximum quality requirements. In combination with Hybrid-Technology, ProfilCut Q allows lifetime increases even on extremely hard materials or abrasive areas. Easy knife changes for low set-up times Apart from the processing quality, mainly the combination of performance and easy handling are the persuading factors for customers of the new ProfilCut Q, as the clamping system and knife arrangement are so designed that users can change all knives quickly and easily without demounting the tool. The feature of an uncomplicated knife change in the set is one of the unique selling points of our ProfilCut Q, says Martin Kenntner, Head of the Leitz Application Engineering Dept. This handling advantage also has been integrated in the development of the new ProfilCut Q Premium. Higher feed rates and higher productivity through ProfilCut Q Premium In its Premium version, ProfilCut Q develops its full performance spectrum with potential cutting speeds of up to 120 metres per second. This is for customers with stationary technology and who require a high component output. Apart from solid wood and wood-derived materials, plastics and very abrasive materials can be processed by this system. With ProfilCut Q Premium, users can work with the same number of teeth with higher feed rates and achieve higher productivity and output, as per Kenntner. The high cutting speed of ProfilCut Q Premium on the one hand is due to its newly designed clamping system by clamping the knives without tolerance axially and radially and on the other hand to the tool body whose quality makes the tool harder, more wear-resistant and durable. Besides productivity, the new profile tooling system also attracts attention through its processing quality. This is proven by many field tests run by Leitz customers. During the development, Leitz has paid special attention on high running accuracy. In combination with high speeds, this creates a better finish quality. 2 Leitz News

3 ProfilCut Q for industry and trade Especially for processing on spindle moulders and angular plants, Leitz provides an own ProfilCut Q version. This is approved for a cutting speed of 90 metres per second. For further performance increase, two coated knife versions are available for customers: Ex works, the standard version Marathon Multi Coating (MC) for demanding profiling tasks in small and mediumsized companies and optionally the Tungsten Diamond Coating (TDC) version. Optimized window production in the Zillertal region With the right tool Apart from the engineering, construction and the timber construction sectors, the traditional company Rieder in the Zillertal region produces doors, furniture and windows. This results in approximately 150 wood and wood/ Alu windows daily in many types of timbers, shapes and dimensions. Counter sash windows and large-size sliding doors also rank among the assortment as well as burglar proof and avalanche proof windows. In terms of tools, company Rieder has placed their trust in Leitz for decades. Profitable partnership Over the years, company Rieder again and again has relied on tool innovations from Leitz. It has always been to our advantage, explains Production Manager Eberharter. Therefore the company has been working for years, for example, with the Leitz RipTec-Technology: The ripple profile causes less cutting forces on the wood, which results in practically no tears and by which the feed speed can be increased considerably. Another highlight are intelligent tools with integrated memory chip which prevents potential errors. Considerable reduction of cutting time The tools are mounted on a shrinkfit arbour or a ThermoGrip shrink-fit chuck to remove the accumulated fitting tolerances. The toolset therefore has a rigidity as if it would consist of just one part. These are important conditions for the application of the new profile tooling system ProfilCut Q Premium. The system works with cutting speeds up to 120 m/sec. Such high peripheral speeds become possible due to an innovative clamping system and a functional coating that reduce friction and heat generation. Below the line, the cutting time is reduced by approximately one third with perfect finish quality, summarizes Leitz technician Engelbert Tiefenthaler. And once more, Rieder was one of the first who accepted the system and is delighted with it Leitz News 3

6 GlossCut circular saw blades Bright prospects for processing perspex For many materials it is concealed by the edge coating. For PMMA or PC however, the main focus is on it: the cutting surface. Especially for sizing transparent materials, Leitz has the GlossCut saw blades in its program. The Leitz GlossCut circular saw blades are specialized on processing PMMA and PC. Even the saw cut results in transparent, mark-free cutting surfaces without edge breakouts. Thus the working step before polishing or scarfing can be deleted whereas users of conventional circular saw blades cannot get around it. GlossCut in new variance Leitz now provides GlossCut also in optimized versions for portable saws and for CNC machining centres. Users with circular saw benches and sizing saws can utilize as many GlossCut product versions as before the update. GlossCut circular saw blades also achieve excellent processing results with plastics/aluminium composite materials as Alucobond, Duromers as HPL and wood fibre materials as for example MDF. Better cutting results, lower noise emission and increased performance time Leitz now has put a GlossCut-update on the market. Now the GlossCut saw blades have new laser ornaments. These increase the stability and quiet running of the saw blades, which causes even better cutting results. Furthermore they reduce the noise emission of the GlossCut saw blades. Altered tool construction and a new, more wear-resistant type of tungsten carbide moreover lead to performance times that are up to 20 % longer. Leitz Tool Kits Complete tool solutions for the professional processing of acrylic glass and table top panels Leitz provides two different Tool Kits suitable for processing PMMA and HPL table tops. The complete tool solutions comprise of different shank cutters which are already mounted, fine-balanced and measured in Leitz ThermoGrip shrink-fit chucks. By this, the best possible and high precision clamping and running accuracy is guaranteed. This is the only way to achieve an optimal machining result. Both Tool Kits are supplied to the customer include Leitz processing recommendation and a reference sample for optimal results from the first workpiece on. Thus, Leitz provides two plug and play tool solutions for the professional processing of acrylic glass and table top panels. 6 Leitz News

7 Material diversity Yields extraordinary kitchen designs Baier, a carpentry business in Vilsbiburg, relies on diversity of materials. For six years this shop has used a variety of Non Wood materials in its kitchens and interior fittings. Leitz supplies tools and processing knowhow. Baier is very versatile with material selection. Apart from solid wood, chipboard panels and veneers, the carpentry also processes composite elements, table top panels, Alucobond, Corian and Perspex. Why does Baier engage in such material diversity? Martin Bauer, deputy managing director: The primary reason is functionality. Table-top panels, for example, are very stable and rarely move. Moreover, they are easy to clean, durable and water-resistant. Furthermore, there are aesthetic reasons to use Non Wood. Leitz supplies tools, shrink-fit chucks and knowhow All Baier machines are equipped with Leitz tooling. A number of different Leitz Diamaster Plus cutters are used for sizing and grooving compound material panels. The special cutting design allows for groove and tear-free processing. The Leitz ThermoGrip shrink-fit chucks increase the running accuracy of the tools and reduce strokes through single knives which would be especially visible in compact gluelam. Leitz plastic panels catalogue Circular saw blades for the professional machining of plastic panels Total precision in Non Wood processing On one hand, Non Wood materials have many advantages for product differentiation; conversely they place high demands on processing. Total precision is required. In contrast to wood processing, the processing of Non Wood materials doesn t allow any inaccuracies as they cannot be rectified. One thing is essential for Martin Bauer to be able to process Non Wood materials at the required quality: high-precision CNC technology. Apart from appropriate machines and tools, however, Non Wood processing also requires much knowhow. The Leitz specialist Johann Liebl has been actively involved in Baier s success. Non Wood materials, for example, require different access routes and feed rates than wood processing, explains Bauer. Partnering with Leitz has saved a lot of time and money. When Martin Bauer has a new working material that must be processed, he phones Johann Liebl and gets advice. In the catalogue, both comprehensive knowhow and the extended saw blade program for professional processing of plastic panels can be found. Moreover, the plastic panel catalogue comprises of individual tool solutions for panel sizing machines, final trimming saws and portable saws Leitz News 7
