Component-specific special solutions from WEDCO

Milling turbine blades with WEDCO milling cutters

WEDCO offers unique solution expertise

Seamless integration of all production processes is crucial to ensuring the most efficient manufacture of components. Numerous factors play a role here: from choosing the right machine and setting it up precisely to selecting suitable production resources such as tool holders, clamping devices and cooling lubricants. Of course, the use of suitable tools is particularly important. Determining these parameters precisely requires extensive specialist knowledge and, above all, time – the latter in particular is sometimes very limited in many companies.

WEDCO provides support with tailor-made solutions and concentrated expertise.

Thanks to our strong focus on sophisticated manufacturing solutions and our many years of experience in the production of precision tools, we have established ourselves as a reliable partner for machining companies. We offer a wide range of services that are individually tailored to the requirements of our customers. From practical tool testing and process optimisation to prototype development, WEDCO ensures that all elements of production are coordinated efficiently and precisely.

WEDCO has two key advantages in all these projects:

  1. Unrivalled speed in responding, developing and delivering solutions, as well as providing the appropriate (special) tools.
  2. We have the necessary expertise and a carefully constructed, comprehensive product portfolio from internationally renowned partners (e.g. SUMITOMO, HORN, NIKKEN, MT MARCHETTI, etc.) to holistically assess and design machining processes and select the appropriate components for each specific application. The focus is not on individual tools, but on the coordinated interaction of all components – from the machine spindle to the tool holder, the cutting tool and its geometry, right through to the optimal cutting strategy for the component.

A case study – Focus on process solutions:

WEDCO profile cutters in use

Innovativer Profilfräser vervielfacht die Produktivität

As part of the production optimisation process for a splined gear, we suggested replacing the T-slot cutter used up to that point with an innovative profile cutter. The result: a real boost for gear cutting.

  • Instead of 1 groove per pass with the T-slot cutter, the special tool now mills 9 gear grooves simultaneously.
  • The result: a massive increase in productivity and a clear technological leap forward in the machining process.

The best technical and economic solution is crucial

The best technical and economic solution is crucial

Process optimisation is definitely a win!
The added value of this approach is particularly evident in the case of complex components requiring multiple machining steps or demanding turning/milling combinations: the decisive factor is always the best solution in technical and economic terms, assessed in terms of process stability, service life, cycle time and overall cost-effectiveness of the machining process.

This often lies in the optimal selection and coordination of high-quality tools from international partners and – if the application requires it for technical and economic reasons – in the integration of custom-made solid carbide special tools.

 

Exploit optimisation potential!
Even for existing, ongoing production processes, WEDCO’s application engineers use their many years of application experience and in-depth process knowledge to analyse the interaction of the components used and identify potential for optimisation. Significant efficiency gains can often be achieved by making targeted adjustments to individual components or their interaction. The decisive factor here is a systemic view of the machine, tool and component. WEDCO sees itself not merely as a supplier of individual products, but as a technical partner that takes responsibility for the functioning of the entire machining system.

 

Strong partnerships – strong solutions!
This holistic approach requires that all components used are of the highest technical standard and work together seamlessly. This is based on long-standing, trusting partnerships with leading international tool manufacturers. These partnerships are characterised by technical depth, mutual appreciation and a shared commitment to providing users with sustainable and economical solutions. This partnership-based approach is exemplified by our collaboration with the following manufacturers, each of which covers key areas of expertise within the holistic solution approach:


Strong partnerships – strong solutions!

SUMITOMO is among the world’s leading manufacturers of cutting tools for turning, milling and drilling applications. For decades, the company has been synonymous with innovative cutting materials and the highest level of manufacturing expertise – from carbide and cermet to CBN and PCD solutions. The long-standing collaboration with WEDCO is characterised by technical proximity, trust and the shared goal of implementing productive and future-oriented machining solutions.

Horn Supermini zools with the Paul Horn Logo

 

This range of expertise is complemented by other partners in specific areas of application. HORN is internationally renowned for high-precision tooling systems for demanding machining tasks. At its Tübingen site, the company develops and manufactures innovative standard and special tools for a wide range of industrial applications. The close partnership with WEDCO enables the implementation of tailor-made solutions that combine maximum precision and process reliability.

NIKKEN Zero Fit Holder Group with NIKKEN logo

 

However, it is not only cutting tools that are crucial for the necessary precision and process reliability along the entire machining chain, but also sophisticated clamping and mounting solutions. NIKKEN enjoys an excellent reputation worldwide in the field of high-precision clamping technology and tool systems. These include innovative tool holders such as the proven 3LOCK system and high-precision rotary table solutions. Combined with WEDCO’s application expertise, NIKKEN products form a central pillar of integrated machining solutions.

MT Marchetti digitally connected, driven Y-axis tool holder

 

The integration of driven tools is also becoming increasingly important, particularly for complex turning and milling operations. MT MARCHETTI is a leading Italian manufacturer of driven tools and fixed holders for CNC turning machines. Development and production in-house enables flexible and high-precision solutions – even for customer-specific requirements. Since being added to the WEDCO portfolio, MT Marchetti has expanded our range of solutions, particularly in the area of complex turning and milling operations.
