3D-lasered chip-forming geometries: The future of chip control

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 can significantly increase your machining efficiency thanks to optimized chip control and enhanced process reliability - while delivering economic value.

Chip control: a vital necessity in machining

Effective chip control can be an essential factor for safe and cost-effective machining. Tangled chips that wrap around the tool or workpiece and can damage them, or chip residues left in the workpiece that can disrupt automated processes and require rework, are just two possible, undesirable problems that can arise from inadequate chip control.

Chip-forming geometries are used to improve chip control. Conventional chip-forming geometries are produced by pressing, sintering, or grinding; however, they can reach their limits due to wider tolerance ranges (pressing, sintering) or manufacturing-related restrictions regarding form depth and multidimensionality (grinding).

This is precisely where SIMTEK’s 3D-lasered chip-forming geometries come into play. Using a laser, highly complex, three-dimensional chip-forming geometries are applied to the tool, which can improve chip control - for example, through targeted chip breaking or the reliable evacuation of chips from the machining zone.

Technology established as a standard - and still progressing

Tools with 3D-lasered chip-forming geometries have now become an integral part of SIMTEK’s product offering – even in the standard range and alongside proven ground solutions.

Thanks to impressive results, several lasered chip-forming geometries have already been successfully incorporated into the standard range.

Moving forward, SIMTEK - as one of the pioneers in this field - will continue to invest in in-depth expertise and innovative manufacturing technologies to further expand the use of lasered chip-forming geometries in the medium and long term, including the comprehensive SIMTEK standard portfolio.
