Ceratizit will showcase a comprehensive lineup of newly developed tool systems across various industries in Hall 3 at the AMB in Stuttgart, Germany.

Those who need to machine steels, stainless steels or cast materials need cutters that can be used as universally as possible in order to manufacture efficiently, as Ceratizit says. To ensure that sustainability does not fall by the wayside at the same time, the AMB exhibitor has added the full carbide cutter "ProACT-Mill" as a standalone product line from the sustainable carbide "upGRADE" to its portfolio. The milling tool combines, as it goes on to say, the unrestricted performance of an all-round high-performance system for machining with the currently most sustainable carbide substrate from Ceratizit. This means that users can enjoy both an economic and ecological advantage due to the certified CO₂ footprint in the form of a low product carbon footprint (PCF). The optimized geometries and the newly developed coating of the "ProACT-Mill" aim, according to the manufacturer, to be able to process as many materials as possible with a long tool life. The test results of the new series showed that up to 30 percent higher performance beckons compared to other universal tools. Ceratizit proves that these are not empty words at the AMB with numerous live demos.

Digital machining and automation

Digital services have also been firmly anchored in Ceratizit's portfolio for many years. Consider, for example, the monitoring and control system "CERAsmart ToolScope". The system continuously records the signals from the machining machine resulting from the manufacturing process, visualizes the data and thus provides important information for process control, machine protection and documentation, as Ceratizit explains. To make sensible use of this emerging process data for the machinist, it is evaluated in "ToolScope", processed and made available to the user. With the help of the "CERAsmart Cockpit", the user can then view the data that is relevant to him and use it to optimize his processes.

And what sophisticated automation solutions can look like is demonstrated with the workpiece automation R-C2 as a possibility that ranks between pallet automation and robot direct loading. This means less setup effort and a significant increase in flexibility. The experts reveal more about this at the trade fair in Stuttgart.

Those who can do, also create art

Machining can also create motorized works of art, as Ceratizit notes with a view to the AMB performance. Therefore, a motorcycle with an extravagant cyberpunk look and high performance is presented— manufactured by the SBAY Motor Company from San Roque, Spain. Many of the components are specially designed and manufactured, which is done with high-performance tools, as it says. How SBAY essentially transforms the wildest dreams of custom bike fans into individual motorcycles with the extra performance will be demonstrated at the booth. And for the entire duration of the trade fair, the thoroughbred machinist Sven Daniel will be present as a special guest. "CNC-Sven" is known in the industry primarily through his videos on TikTok, YouTube or Instagram, but also as a book author. At the fair, he will present a hot-off-the-press work and will be available for discussions with visitors.
