Ceratizit USA’s FreeTurn Tool Revolutionizes Dynamic Turning Capabilities!

Ceratizit USA has introduced the FreeTurn tool, a dynamic milling solution with a slim, axial structure that grants users 360 degrees of freedom in the axis, facilitating complex turning tasks without collision risk. This innovative design supports advanced dynamic positioning, optimizing chip breakage and improving component quality by enabling the tool to change position mid-process. FreeTurn allows manufacturers to handle roughing, finishing, contour turning, facing, and longitudinal turning all with a single tool, reducing tool changeover times and cutting costs.

Traditionally, multiple tools are required for different contours, increasing expenses and downtime. With FreeTurn, High-Dynamic-Turning technology and a flexible milling spindle allow for seamless rotation about the tool axis, enhancing efficiency and achieving up to 25% faster machining. This dynamic capability enables the machining of complex workpiece contours with higher feed rates, fewer empty tool paths, and minimized tool changes. The tool also improves surface quality and reduces the number of required tool locations, making it highly economical.

In addition, compatible CAM software is available through partners such as Exapt, EdgeCAM by Hexagon, GibbsCAM, Heidenhain, HyperMill, SolidCAM, Siemens NX, and TopSolid. This allows for seamless integration and optimization of FreeTurn’s capabilities across a range of applications. This cutting-edge tool highlights Ceratizit’s commitment to advancing machining efficiency and productivity for its users.
