A wide variety of KM tooling for multitasking machines, machining centers, and mill-turn lathes is readily available, improving productivity in any machining application Multitasking and mill-turn centers were once considered high-end specialty machines, found only in shops with the financial resources and production volumes needed to justify such an investment. Not anymore. Turning centers with live tool stations are becoming increasingly popular with machine shops of all sizes. These machines offer the ability to\u00a0cost effectively machine parts in a single operation.<\/p>\n

With capability comes complexity, however, and the need to maximize the output of such a machine tool investment through reduced setup time is ever present. Kennametal Inc., Latrobe, PA has been meeting these needs for decades with state-of-the-art cutting tool and toolholder solutions such as its KM\u2122 (Kennametal Modular) quick-change tooling, and has recently announced a substantial expansion of that offering, one that promises to make driven tool setup fast and accurate.<\/p>\n

The partnership between Kennametal and EWS Tool Technologies is aimed at maximizing our customers\u00b4 productivity by providing the best tooling solution and support for their CNC lathes,says Jay Verellen, Director of Global Product Management, Tooling Systems. The KM\u2122 quick change connection is one of the most comprehensive in the industry. Together with EWS\u00b4 global leadership in driven tooling and static tool blocks, we will provide a standard range ready to tool up many major brands of CNC turning centers with this incredible system.<\/p>\n

EWS was founded in 1960 as a manufacturer of laboratory equipment and hydraulic components in K\u00f6ngen, Germany. The company soon expanded into machine tool accessories and today offers more than 15,000 driven and 25,000 static toolholders in its product lineup. EWS\u00b4 corporate philosophy of placing customers\u00b4 needs first, along with dedication to its employees, customer service levels, and high quality products, makes its slogan \u00bbPrecision meets Motion\u00bb much more than just a catchphrase.<\/p>\n

\"Turret.jpg_ico400\"It\u00b4s more than a large selection of the highest quality lathe tooling, though. Anyone who\u00b4s owned or operated a live-tool lathe knows the importance of service after the sale. Metal becomes fatigued, bearings eventually fail, operators make mistakes. Sending live tools and tool blocks overseas for reconditioning is a costly, time-consuming affair, one that shop owners can ill afford. \u00bbYou don’t have to wait two weeks for a worn tool to arrive in Germany, says Bahti Hanedar, Chief Financial Officer at Command Tooling Systems, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EWS. For those in the US, the tools are serviced here using original OEM parts, by factory trained personnel. EWS also has manufacturing locations in Korea, China, and Russia, so no matter where your shop is located, service is never more than a day away. At EWS, global presence is more than a logo.<\/p>\n

Quick response applies to custom tooling as well. There\u00b4s no need to worry about time zones to get a rush quote on a non-standard gage length toolholder, or a 45-degree angle head able to spin at 15,000 rpm. Says Hanedar, We have the capability for quick turnaround of custom solutions in the US and elsewhere, and are making significant engineering and service investments at all locations.<\/p>\n

For our customers we are making it really easy, one call into our service centers and we\u00b4ll take care of everything else, comments Verellen.\u00a0Making a good thing better: the partnership between Kennametal and EWS promises to expand the company\u00b4s already extensive offering of KM tooling<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
