OPTIMISED PRODUCTION Test facility To stay ahead of the field, we have has set up a 5-axis machining centre for performance testing of new tools using both traditional lubrication and minimum quantity lubrication (mQL). For instance, the tools are tested for function, runout accuracy, tool life, and Kyocera Unimerco also establishes the optimum machining parameters for given applications. Safety stock and tool management if so desired by the customer, Kyocera Unimerco offers to establish a safety stock for urgent deliveries. in return, the customer undertakes to buy the tools in question within a fixed period of time. in additon to this we run fully automated tool management with crib systems to larger customers with a full reporting system to help managers with financial production control. Research and development We believe that the way forward is investment. As well as extensive investment in plant and machinery, heavy investment is made each year in developing new tool solutions for new materials and applications. Kyocera Unimerco is currently undertaking research projects with major universities around the world into cutting solutions for the latest materials, some of which are seen today as ‘impossible to cut’. Working with us will give you access to the latest technology and help you increase your productivity through performance cutting solutions. Implementation in our opinion, tool delivery is just part of the total solution. The most efficient production situation is achieved only if the tool is used correctly. Thus, our optimisation experts will assist during this phase with advice concerning cutting parameters, cooling, production reliability and will optimise production for you. Why a partnership? Long-term improvement of competitiveness demands a serious and permanent cooperation in which both parties work together to improve productivity. That is why Kyocera Unimerco is the preferred tooling partner for the aerospace industry. Fast delivery The standard delivery time on solid carbide is 2-3 weeks and 4-6 weeks for PcD. a complete programme of standard mills, drills, countersinks, reamers and spindle nose tooling is available ex. stock (see page 19). The manufacturing capacity in Denmark (2 sites), the UK and USa, enables us to carry out fast deliveries of tools. This means that you carry less inventory and ultimately have less cash tied up in stock. www.kyocera-unimerco.com 3
