Komet Group: Over 1000 new tools for successful machining

At the EMO 2015, the Komet Group is showcasing a wide range of innovations under the slogan “The Cutting Edge – Solutions for the best performance”. The highlight will be the extended range of indexable insert milling cutters, accompanied by many new diamond indexable inserts and new tools from the fields of drilling, reaming and threading. Over 1000 additional precision tools have been added to the Komet® product range.

In addition to its well-known innovative tools for highprecision drilling, reaming and threading, the Komet Group now boasts a wide range of high-performance milling cutters.

Some examples: The new Komet milling cutters include the Komet Q55-KCM (Komet copy-milling) copy miller that is particularly suitable for machining turbine blades, but can also be used very universally. The 45° Komet Q63-KFM (Komet facemilling) face milling cutter is also part of the new product range. It is designed for face-milling operations with a cutting depth of up to 6.5 mm and a tooth feed of up to 0.5 mm. The Komet Q56-KHF (Komet highfeed) face-milling cutter is a particularly efficient tool. It was designed for high-feed applications and achieves a very high chip volume per unit of time. Its angled cutting edge also achieves optimum surface quality. The Komet Q43-KSM (Komet shoulder-milling) shoulder milling cutter produces shoulders that are step-free and are exactly 90° as a result of its soft-cutting geometry.

With over 70 indexable inserts featuring different topographies, substrates and coatings, which can be combined with 60 different basic body designs, Komet now has a full and varied product range, ideal for handling all milling tasks, from face, shoulder and chamfer milling to straight, 45° and T-slot milling, circular and plunge milling, angled plunge milling and free-form milling.

The range of ISO indexable inserts with diamond cutting edges has also experienced huge growth and has been extended to more than 900 items. In addition to Komet PCD products, CVD thick film diamond-tipped inserts can now also be supplied. All variants are manufactured using the latest production technology, such as laser machining and high-vacuum soldering, which results in high-quality cutting edges and variable geometries as well as improved cutting results and longer tool life.

HSS taps with carbide strips were only available as special tools until now. The Komet JEL® GG HML tools are now available ex stock and in the sizes M6 to M12 as standard in the catalogue. These taps combine the benefits of a flexible HSS shank with the advantages of a hard carbide cutting edge. They can thus compensate for slight alignment faults and, at the same time, achieve long tool life. The Komet JEL GG HML taps are achieving particularly good results in machining grey cast iron (GG) and vermicular cast iron (GJV).

In addition to its new tools, the Komet Group, a singlesource supplier of precision tools, also offers numerous additional services, for example through its service brand Komet® Brinkhaus. The subsidiary develops, produces and markets monitoring and control systems for machine tools.

An important addition to the customer-oriented range of tools is provided by the second service brand: Komet Service ®. A network of highly-qualified Komet Service partners, linked together in a franchise system, provides a professional regrinding service, reliably and at short notice, and is also responsible for the sale of solid carbide, carbide-tipped and HSS standard tools from the Komet Group.
