More cleanliness and safety in production: The new planer/profile cutterhead with closed hydro clamping system from Leitz

Closed clamping system for clean processes

Open hydraulic clamping systems often have undesirable side effects such as grease contamination on the machine or workpiece. To meet these requirements of the woodworking industry, we have opted for a closed hydraulic clamping system. The result: significantly cleaner working environments, reduced cleaning effort and a consistently high-quality machining result.

More safety and reliability thanks to innovative clamping technology

Reliable processes and a high level of occupational safety are essential in modern production. The new cutterhead therefore boasts a sophisticated safety feature: an integrated pressure indicator that provides information on the correct clamping pressure at all times. This significantly reduces the risk of assembly errors or unexpected machine downtime. In addition, a special surface treatment of the hydraulic bush ensures that the cutter head can be mounted and removed effortlessly at any time without getting stuck on the spindle.

By using the tried and tested Leitz Marathon planer knives, the new cutterhead achieves up to six times the tool life of conventional HS knives. At the same time, resharpening costs are reduced by up to 80 percent - as are machine downtimes. For the user, this means a significant reduction in ongoing operating costs while maintaining the same high quality.

Variety in the system - maximum flexibility for every application

Our further development from offers the right solution for every requirement. The tool can be individually configured for a wide range of cutting edge variants. Whether smooth planing knives (3 mm), back-serrated versions (5 mm) or profile blanks (8 mm):. The generous diameter range from 135 to 400 mm enables use on a wide variety of four-sided planing and profiling machines. The high-performance MC cutting material is used as standard; HS or HW knives are also available as options. This means that the cutterhead can be used for processing both softwood and hardwood.

As with all Leitz tools, sustainable alignment plays a major role in the new tools as well as efficiency and precision. Thanks to the closed hydraulic clamping system and the resulting minimised grease consumption, not only the machines are protected, but also the environment. In addition, the specially coated surface of the tool body ensures exceptional resistance to chemical stresses. This significantly extends the tool's service life and noticeably reduces maintenance costs.

The new planer/profile cutterhead with closed hydro clamping system is a prime example of our innovative strength and uncompromising quality. It combines precision with sophisticated user-friendliness, sets new standards in tool hygiene and actively contributes to reducing operating costs.
