Swiss automatic lathe tooling have been developed for decades. Swiss automatic lathe tooling continuous to develop more specifications according to Swiss automatic lathe equipment upgrades, cutting machining requirements and changes in the big environment, and standardize and systemize cutting tool change operations, in addition to solve the shortage of technicians, development can also effectively improve production efficiency and production stability. Let’s talk about the development and future trends of Swiss automatic lathe tools.

1. Hand grinding cutting tool and ER collet

Around the year of 1995, many young people will join the machining industry after vocational school graduation. In the past, the machining industry took the master apprenticeship system, and the senior master led the apprentices to work while studying. The wages of that period have not increased dramatically, and imported Swiss automatic lathe tooling are very expensive. In order to save the cost to purchase cutting tools, the worn tools are usually removed, and the master grinds them before re-installing them on the machine. The master of that period was very skillful and could fix the tool tip and tool length without a problem during cutting tool change.

2. Swiss automatic lathe tooling systemization

Around the year of 2005, the machining industry is no longer the first choice for young people after graduation. The technology industry in this period has developed rapidly, and most people will give priority to the employment of the technology industry. In Europe and the United States, the talents of the machining industry have also experience fault. The CNC machining plant can’t rely too much on the master to grind the cutting tool. In fact, Taiwan is facing the same problem, so the a number of large-scale enterprises in CNC machining industry continues to introduce systematic Swiss automatic lathe tools. reducing reliance on the master, and systematic tools enable newcomers to catch up, speed up tool change and increase productivity.

3. Cutting tool customization

Around the year of 2015, entered the era of Industry 4.0, The standard specifications of the cutting tools on the market are difficult to meet CNC machining requirements. The workpieces that need to be machined have changed to a small quantity but in large variety, and many CNC machining plants are looking for customized cutting tool manufacturers to cooperate. The systematic cutting tool with combination of tool customization can fully meet the machining requirements of the machining plant and overcome many machining problems.

4. Forming tool applications – future trends

CNC machining plants hope to reduce machining time and increase production, in order to achieve this goal, CNC machining plants discuss the feasibility of forming tool applications with cutting tool manufacturers. Taking Baoje forming tools as an example, we have developed many successful cases in recent years, Reducing customer machining time by 47%! Forming tools can make customers more flexible, not only solve technical problems, but also greatly improve production efficiency and create a win-win situation.

In the future, the machining industry will face serious technical faults and manpower shortages. Many cutting tool brands have introduced Swiss automatic lathe tooling, offering a wide range of standard cutting tool sizes for customers to choose from. Each cutting tool brand has its own characteristics and advantages. Taking Baoje Cutting tools as an example: Baoje systematic cutting tools have developed forming tools and customized cutting tools with systematic tightening design to solve the problems faced by the CNC machining industry. Allows the operator to easily change the cutting tool and easily let the machine go on for production. If you have tool customization requirement, please feel free to contact with Baoje Cutting Tools. We are happy to discuss the tool design and application with you.
