Komet of America Changes Name to Ceratizit Chicago
Komet of America, reflecting a recent integration in the Ceratizit Group, changes its name to Ceratizit Chicago Inc.

Ceratizit Group Acquires Komet Group
The Ceratizit aims to position Komet for developing cutting tool products in the Industry 4.0 domain.

Can Additive Manufacturing Increase Milling Feed Rates?
With PCD tooling, yes it can. The diamond cutting edges demand a large number of flutes to realize their full effectiveness. Traditional methods for making cutter bodies limit the number of flutes, but 3D printing is delivering tools with higher flute density and other enhancements as well.

Grinding Machine Increases Tool Supplier’s Production
Komet of America Inc. had a problem: extra setup was causing a production bottleneck. Junker's Lean Selection allround grinding machine proved to be a cost-effective upgrade in technology that decreased setup times.

Lights Off, Profit On
Various tooling considerations contribute to profitable lights-out machining.

Systematic Success
A more efficient manufacturing process has enabled this manufacturer to ramp up production of its devices for the oil and gas industry.

Komet Expands Service Network
My visit to a recently certified Cincinnati-area tool grinding shop revealed the advantages of this regional program for Komet’s customers and new service partners alike.

Komet Group Machine and Roll-Form Taps
The Bass HSS-E line of high speed steel machine and roll-form taps from Komet Group are designed to reduce the cost per thread, maximize end-product quality and optimize the threading process.

Komet Seeks Acquisition Opportunities
Komet of America (Schaumburg, Illinois), a supplier of bore machining, threading and reaming tools, has announced that it is actively pursuing strategic acquisitions in the North American market.

Last Glance at IMTS 2010
It would be impossible to cover all of the key exhibitors at IMTS 2010—even if every booth got merely a quick glance. However, the editors of MMS did get glimpses of some interesting technologies exhibited at the show...

Video: Getting the Most Out of Your Standard Spindle
High spindle speed is not needed for high productivity, particularly with the right choice of cutting tool types. Techniques described in this tutorial video relate to plunge roughing, high feed milling and slotting.

Heavy-Duty Hole Making
A modular drilling and boring system has changed this oilfield product manufacturer's holemaking operations.

Smart Boring Bar Auto-Comps
Because boring is a finishing or semi-finishing operation, there is generally little or no margin for dimensional or surface finish error. In production, dimensional accuracy of a precise bore can be negatively affected by tool wear over time.
