Customised solutions

Flexible production in small batch sizes requires short set-up times and high processing speeds. The ability to process an increasing variety of materials in high quality with long tool life requires innovative tooling and machining concepts. Low cutting forces, reduced noise levels and good chip collection help to save energy and protect the environment.

Leitz supports its customers in a wide variety of industries with individual solutions for machining new materials, increasing tool life, reducing set-up times, minimizing cutting forces, conserving resources or simply making machining more efficient.

Solutions for users of wood and composite materials

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 designed for specific 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.

Solutions for machine manufacturers

New materials and jointing technologies, flexible production in batch size 1 and energy efficiency are the innovative 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.

Solutions for power tool manufacturers

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

Solutions for manufacturers of working materials

For new materials to be successful in the market, it’s not only the technical utility properties values that are important, but also its machinability. Contrary material requirements often lead to composite materials with varied machining properties. Together with material developers, Leitz provides the necessary machining and tool recommendations for all common machining tasks. If necessary, material-specific tool solutions and process manufacturing advice are also developed.
