Ceratizit intends to revolutionize industrial turning technology with its High Dynamic Turning (HDT) system and FreeTurn tooling. Thanks to this innovative system, users can manufacture complex geometries with just one tool. During an extensive series of tests, measurement technology from Kistler was deployed to record the forces acting on the cutting edge. Ceratizit's engineers gained critical insights from the reliable values supplied by the dynamometer.
For over 95 years, Ceratizit has pioneered the development of sophisticated hard material solutions for cutting and wear protection. The company develops and produces highly specialized cutting tools, indexable inserts, carbide rods and wear parts. With more than 9,000 employees and 34 production facilities across the globe - backed by a sales network of over 70 branches - the Ceratizit Group is a global player in the carbide sector. Innovative solutions from Ceratizit are deployed in the mechanical engineering and toolmaking sectors as well as the automotive, aerospace and medical industries - the list could go on.
