Shaped. Guided. Broken.
With 3D-Lasered Chip Forming Geometries by SIMTEK.
Optimum machining conditions at any time, reducing non-productive time, avoiding 100% controls: there are many reasons to ensure optimum chip control in series production.
Lasered chip forming geometries enable maximum chip control and increase the process reliability and machining efficiency.
SIMTEK tools with 3D-lasered chip forming geometries ensure optimum chip flow and cutting pressure on the tool cutting edge. This has a positive effect on tool life.
The optimum chip geometry varies depending on the requirements. Individually lasered chip geometries enable ideal adaptation to machining parameters and thus ensure maximum process reliability.
3D-lasered chip forming geometries enable the use of completely new combination tools. Previously separate tools are thus combined, which reduces set-up and non-productive times.
Find out about the advantages of using 3D-lasered tools for manufacturing companies and the influence of lasered chip forming geometries on the process reliability and cost-effectiveness of your machining.
The video shows the benefits of tools with lasered chip forming geometries compared to conventional tools with a ground chip forming geometry.
In the video you see two different applications:
the first application shows grooving and longitudiinal turning while the second application shows grooving and profile turning with full radius.

With 3D-lasered tools from SIMTEK, a laser introduces the chip shape geometry into the tool cutting edge. This creates an optimum rake angle that effectively forms, guides or breaks the chips - depending on what the customer's individual machining scenario requires.
Among other things, SIMTEK's laser technology enables the insertion of circumferential chip shape geometries with a constant rake and clearance angle. This opens up completely new possibilities: Form grooving tools with a high forming depth or multidirectional machining combination tools (e.g. grooving and longitudinal turning, "Parisian grinding") can now be used reliably and economically. but 3D-lasered chip forming geometries also demonstrate their advantages under difficult conditions, such as high cutting speeds, small diameters or high heat input.
Many of our standard tools are already available with 3D-lasered chip forming geometry. If you have special requirements, our team of experts will support you with the development of 3D-lasered individual tools for your application and provide you with information on prices, delivery times and free services, such as Priotool.
