New main catalog with numerous innovations on almost 800 pages 

After five years of intensive research and development, SIMTEK Präzisionswerkzeuge GmbH now offers high-precision turning tools with 3D lasered chip forming geometries in its standard range. While these tools were previously only available on individual customer request, they are now also available as standard tools in the new main catalog. 

In addition to the 11,000 standard tools listed in the catalog, SIMTEK develops several thousand individual tool concepts every year. The vertical range of manufacture achieved over decades covers the entire value creation process from the blank to coating on the company's own systems. SIMTEK's innovative strength is most recently reflected in the new 3D lasered chip forming geometries offered for tools in the simturn product family. These have proven themselves in numerous individual projects and, according to the manufacturer, offer the most effective and economical solution for optimum chip control under difficult conditions or special challenges. 

Norbert Seifermann, CEO of SIMTEK AG, emphasizes: "With our new 3D laser technology, we ensure optimal chip control and, in addition to the mechanical engineering, automotive, aerospace and medical technology industries, support wherever process reliability and long tool life are of the utmost importance. By AMB, we will have added around 180 variants of these tools for different applications and materials to our standard range. This means that customers will be able to order them quickly and easily via the new SIMTEK main catalog, which will be published in parallel to the trade fair." 

Almost 800 pages of concentrated tool expertise 

The new SIMTEK main catalog will be published in September 2024 and will be available in both digital and printed form (see link in info box). On 770 pages, it presents over 11,000 SIMTEK standard tools for the highest requirements, which can also serve as the basis for customized tool solutions. 57 newly added lasered chip forming geometries for bore machining, grooving and longitudinal and profile turning are included. In the future, the standard range will be continuously expanded to include further tools with 3D lasered chip forming geometries. 

More news in the main catalog 

In addition to the wide range of standard tools with 3D lasered chip forming geometries, the new SIMTEK main catalog also offers numerous other innovations. SIMTEK is expanding its simmill 9W tool system with a new size that can work from a diameter of 28.0 mm as standard. The simmill 9W tool system combines the advantages of modular tools with benefits that were previously reserved for monoblock tools. SIMTEK is also presenting a system for axial grooving with high grooving depths in relatively small diameters. SIMTEK CEO Norbert Seifermann concludes: "We will be at AMB in Stuttgart from 10 to 14 September and look forward to convincing trade visitors of our entire range in person at our stand C36 in hall 3."
