Customised solutions

The manufacture of new products often requires individually adapted machining processes. The productivity of existing machines and systems can be increased by powerful tools and efficient chip collection. With special tools and machining strategies suitable for components, tool changes can be reduced. The technicians at Leitz develop and test customer-specific machining solutions in the company’s own test laboratories, ready for practical use without interfering with the users’ ongoing production.

New materials and jointing technologies, flexible production in batch size 1 and energy efficiency are the innovation factors in woodworking machines. As a partner to machine manufacturers, Leitz develops individual tool systems for the shortest set-up times, high production speeds and wear-friendly machine operation. In addition to the required machining quality, special attention is paid to influencing the chip flow at the tool and the design of extraction hoods for efficient chip collection.

The machinability of an ever-increasing variety of materials and the long reach of battery-powered machines are key sales arguments for manufacturers of power tools. Leitz develops both material-specific and universally applicable tools in a customer-specific design, tailored to the specific product requirements, which combine high machining quality with long tool life and low cutting forces.  

For the market success of new materials, not only the technical utility value properties but also the machinability are of great importance. Contrary material requirements often lead to composite materials with very heterogeneous machining properties. Together with material developers, Leitz develops the necessary machining and tool recommendations for all common machining tasks.  If necessary, material-specific tool solutions are also developed.
