Mikron Tool’s ‘crazy’ innovations at AMB 2022

23rd Aug 2022, 16:35 • In News

The AMB show, after a forced break due to the pandemic, will be opening its doors once again in Stuttgart from 13-17 September 2022.

Mikron Tool will be exhibiting; the company’s R&D department has been busy with new developments with a focus on the efficient machining of demanding materials in the micron range. The results will be premiered at the show.

Micro milling cutters with new high-performance geometries

The new CrazyMill Cool Micro with integrated cooling is a new type of high-performance micro milling cutter for roughing and finishing difficult-to-machine materials. It is available in diameters from 0.2 to 1mm (0.008" - 0.039") with a milling depth of up to 5 x D.

Thanks to material-specific cutting edge geometries, which were specially developed for the different machining behaviour of materials, the new micro milling cutter combines excellent cutting ability with high stability. The result is a significantly higher removal volume with high shape accuracy and a longer tool life.

New drilling technology for titanium

Machining titanium is a challenge – and not all grades of titanium – pure and alloyed for example – exhibit the same characteristics. That's why Mikron Tool has developed tailored drills for the various types of titanium: the CrazyDrill Titanium PTC for pure titanium and the CrazyDrill Titanium ATC for alloyed titanium with both guaranteeing ambitious cutting values and process reliability.

CrazyService products; novel engineering services

Mikron Tool has expanded its product portfolio, offering professional project management in the field of high-performance machining for demanding materials.

The offer includes: tool evaluation, optimisation or redefinition of a process or critical sequence, tool life testing and even drafting of complete projects – always under the condition that the preferred solution offers the customer clear added value. Machining companies can now benefit from Mikron Tool's capacity and expertise when outsourcing their pilot projects.
