Last week we introduced a new technology: Profit Milling.

We milled the raw workpiece to a depth of 36 mm. First we roughed out the corners, then finished the part. The automotive component was machined using air cooling instead of water cooling, in half the time it would have taken with an indexable insert cutter.

Our company continuously works to multiply machining efficiency. Labour and material costs keep rising, while customers want part prices to keep going down. The only way forward is to dramatically increase our machining efficiency. Our colleagues drive this with their innovative ideas, and our ESPRIT CAM system — introduced in 2012 — supports it equally. The latest version places a strong emphasis on highly efficient machining technology, offering clever and exceptionally cost-effective toolpaths and new machining strategies to boost productivity.

The new features focus on higher cutting speeds, longer tool life, and the ability to machine increasingly complex geometries.
