Responsibility
for the complete
machining process
Three questions for
Jochen Eichert
Mr. Eichert, how do the requirements evolve that
you encounter as a tool manufacturer?
At present, our customers increasingly ask for complete
solutions that are tailored to definite components.
Turbochargers and injection pumps, to give you an example
from the automotive industry. These complex components
come up with the highest requirements as to the machining
process. Using the right machining strategy and the
appropriate tools, you can significantly reduce the corresponding costs. Therefore, component strategies will
become the key for an efficient production. Another topic
is the increasing internationalization of production.
Today, you need to be able to support customers worldwide.
Matthias Rommel
Managing Director and spokesman at LMT Tools
Dear readers,
the automotive industry and its suppliers not only are one of the
economically strongest sectors in the world, they are also a
kind of research laboratory for innovative technologies and pioneers
in implementing them in mass production. Current examples
are the downsizing of motors, the development of hybrid drive
concepts or the increased use of novel materials such as heat
resistant alloys or composite materials. In other industry branches,
we see similar developments.
We as manufacturers of precision tools are thus confronted with
challenging tasks. Besides the sole tool performance, the importance of project engineering competences increases as they ensure
an optimal interaction between the tool and the machine.
The focus moves from the optimization of single work steps to
solutions for the complete machining of components.
This covers exactly the strengths of LMT Tools. As a partner for
development and project engineering, we assume the responsibility
for the complete machining process. As a Tool Manager, we
guarantee our customers an optimal long-term tool supply, stable
processes and cost advantages – and all this on a global scale.
Everywhere you need us, we offer you a state-of-the-art technology
and the best possible know-how.
Moreover, we invested in building our international service
network so that today we can regrind and recondition
the tools of our customers in Germany, the USA, China and
India. Next year, we will open an additional service center
in Brazil.
This edition of Performance News shows you the practical side of it.
User reports and expert assessments give you a complete insight
into our current projects. In addition, we present our most recent
tool developments and services.
I hope that reading this issue will provide you with lots of
inspiration.
Regards,
Matthias Rommel

Jochen Eichert
Managing Director of LMT Tool Systems
How does LMT Tools prepare for this challenge?
We see ourselves as development partners and cooperate
closely with users and machine manufacturers during project
engineering. In recent years, we already implemented,
in joint effort, a lot of projects focused on the complete
machining process of a component. Take, for example, the
tool system ChamferCut. This system can be used for
cutting the gears and for chamfering them within the same
process in the same machine. We developed this highly
productive system together with Liebherr-Verzahntechnik.
Meanwhile, lots of gear manufacturers use this method.
“Component
strategies are
the key for
an efficient
production”
What are the key aspects in the field of
technical development?
A current highlight is the EVOline series by LMT Fette. The
axial rolling heads with their modular structure do not only
make it possible to perform the machining more precisely
but also have an improved chip guard and thus are optimally
suited for being used in machining centers. In the following
year, we will focus on our die and mold manufacturing
program. And we will immerse ourselves more intensely in
the non-cutting thread production.

HIGHLIGHTS Rolling
2. Fatigue strength: In cold forming, the material is deformed
plastically beyond the limit of elasticity. Thus, on average,
the fatigue strength increases by a factor of three in comparison
with thread cutting.
Three questions for
Stefan Möller
Why do customers need a new rolling head?
Their demand is due to the increased requirements with
regard to thread rolling. This is the result of higher quantities,
new materials and integrated machining processes on
machine tools. It is decisive that the tool gets more precise,
more flexible and easier to use. LMT Fette has developed
the EVOline to meet exactly these requirements.
3. Surface quality: Rolled threads have a surface roughness
R z between 1 µm and 4 µm. The resulting surface quality
exceeds that of many ground threads.
Stefan Möller
Product Manager of Rolling Systems
at LMT Tools
Precise fine adjustment
and maximum
process reliability
6
By introducing the EVOline rolling head
generation, LMT Fette has set new
benchmarks in the field of thread rolling.
The major user advantages of the new
axial rolling head include its precise fine
adjustment as well as its convenience
of assembly.
A further step towards an increased
process safety is the implementation of
a special chip guard in the rolling head.
The stable chip guard protects the
EVOline rolling head against chips and
contam-inations deriving from pre-rolling
processes – even if the clutch is opened.
The simplified assembly is primarily based
on the modular design: Besides the thread
rollers, the rolling head consists of a
roll cage with gear, a roller system housing
with central fine adjustment as well as
a new shank adaption for a variety of
available standard shanks, a closing device
resp. closing clip and the shank itself.
The locking clamp can be rotated by 360
degrees and thus can be adjusted optimally
to fit the current holding capacities
within the machine. The new shank
adaption between clutch and shank
guarantees a precise run-out and a safe
torque transmission at the same time.
Up to now, the new axial rolling head
EVOline is available in the following
versions:
– F1 EVO for M6 – M10 threads
– F2 EVO for M8 – M16 threads
– F3 EVO for M12 – M22 threads
www.lmt-tools.com/evoline
More precision in rolling processes –
what's the clue?
The core of the precise tool setting is a new, patented
adjustment system: The rolling area is set by means of an
adjustment spindle, the setting is accurate to a hundredth of a millimeter and is mainly characterized by the
high repeatability of the pitch diameter.
How does the user benefit from the new design?
In general, a rolling head is a haptic product. Therefore,
every detail of the EVOline design has been aimed at
an easy use. This design concept involves a lot of different
elements, for example the complete nickel-plated surface
providing for a good readability of the scales or the broadened spacer studs for an improved stability.

LMT Fette Rollsysteme Werkzeuge und Wissen
LMT Fette Rolling Systems Tools and Knowledge
The task of threads is clearly defined: They hold together
what stay together. As to their manufacturing and quality,
however, there can be lots of differences. Thread rolling
has established itself as an efficient alternative to cutting
threads for three reasons:
1. Production time: The main production time in thread rolling
normally is under one second. For comparison: In thread
cutting, the main production time is 5 to 20 times higher.
Printed in Germany, No. 63 (0512 1 DM/GK)
EVOline – next generation thread rolling
Threads are used in almost all production areas: When
manufacturing stub axle for car bodies, pipe fittings
and pump rods for the oil and gas industry or spindles for
house building and bridge construction. For more than
60 years, LMT Fette has been manufacturing rolling systems
for the chipless thread production. In 2014, a new
generation of rolling heads originated from this experience:
The EVOline sets the highest benchmarks with regard
to efficiency, process safety, precision and flexibility.

The procedures and tool settings in
rolling processes are as versatile as the
rolled threads themselves. For an
extensive overview, please refer to the
catalog “LMT Fette Rolling Systems –
Tools and Knowledge”. On almost 500
pages, the catalog does not only present
the tools but also provides you with
important user information on axial, radial
and tangential rolling procedures.

HIGHLIGHTS Threading
One for all
UNI Tap
Thread forming vs. tapping
There's a growing trend towards thread forming. With
good cause: During the cold forming process, the material
structure is not cut but molded and hardened. This has
many advantages as the increased thread strength also
enhances the component safety and the profile accuracy as
well as the surface quality and the pitch strength.
Success Story
HPF thread formers
User: Automotive supplier
Product: Sockets, material 23MnB4
Tasks: Increasing the operating time,
reducing the cycle time
Initial situation:
The process safety improves and, in addition, no chips
are generated that could result in obstructions.
When is thread forming a real alternative? The materials
are required to have good cold forming properties,
an elongation coefficient of more than 8 percent and
are not to exceed a tensile strength of R m 1400 N/mm 2.
The new UNI tap for blind and through
hole threads lives up to its name:
It can be used universally for different
materials and thus is ideal for any
applications in the field of general
mechanical engineering.
Keeping cool and
increasing the operating time
The new UNI tap made of heavy duty steel
(PM-HSS) is covered by the ultra-strong
titanium carbonitride coating TiCN Plus.
It can be used flexibly either with oil, an
emulsion or a minimal quantity lubrication
(MQL). Steel, cast iron, stainless steel
and aluminum do not present any problem
for this tap, making it an extremely
versatile tool. This also outlines its main
benefit: a significant decrease of inventory
costs as a result of a reduced tool variety.
In addition, the process safety increases
as thread damage is prevented and requirement of screw thread inserts is eliminated.

Total savings per year:
approx. 90,000 €
In order to machine as many materials
as possible without generating chips,
more and more users work with thread
formers – this becomes obvious in
the light of two-digit growth rates in
the field of High Performance Forming
(HPF) at LMT Tools. The appropriate
cooling system increases the operating
time significantly. The new HPF shows
how this works.
+ 300 %
From September 2014 on, the HPF with
an axial cooling system is available.
This has the advantage that for blind
holes – especially for horizontal use and
deep threads – the cooling is directly
approached to the forming process. Thus,
the forming process is supplied optimally
with the cooling medium.
Thanks to this program extension,
LMT Tools now also offers tools with
interior cooling for through holes
(IKR, radial outlet) and for blind holes
(IKZ, central outlet).
For obtaining a maximum efficiency
during thread forming, you also have to
pay attention to adapt the pilot hole
diameter exactly to the material and the
process. As to quantity, 0.01 millimeters
already can mean several hundreds
of threads. By using the solid carbide drill
X-Speed by LMT Fette, you can achieve
precise hole diameter before beginning the
forming process. To this purpose,
you can use either standard or special twist
drills (adapted to the respective process).
The UNI tap offers an optimized
cutting edge geometry for an
universal use.

The 200 pages of the new catalog “LMT Fette
Gear Cutting – Tools and Knowledge” contain
a broad expert knowledge and serve as
a guide for practical use. The newly structured
selection criteria, clear pictograms and
application recommendations support the
users in choosing the right tool.

In July 2014, the series production of the second generation
of this successful model started. Involved in the preparation
phase: The SpeedCore hob by LMT Fette. Due to the
performance of the SpeedCore, reaching nearly speeds of
carbide hobs, ZF decided to use the SpeedCore during
the prototype phase. The advantages: From the beginning,
ZF was able to work at high cutting speeds. Due to the
long operating times, the total costs were significantly lower
in comparison with conventional HSS hobs and because
LMT Fette delivered the SpeedCore hobs within only
four weeks, ZF was able to shorten the start-up phase
considerably.
The SpeedCore already has proven itself
in multiple ways in the field of gear
production, for example for automotive
gears. Its high performance is based
on an intermetallic cutting material,
with performance characteristics which
exceed those of high speed steel by far.
The special characteristic of the SpeedCore
is its high hot hardness providing
increased cutting speeds.
The extended SpeedCore hobs are also
available with Nanosphere 2.0 coating.
This is a PVD coating based on chromium
aluminum nitride (Cr-Al-N). This special
coating makes the tool especially heat
resistant.
The main advantages of the SpeedCore
with Nanosphere 2.0 coating are:
– Productivity increase
up to 70 percent
– Lower costs per piece
– Operating reliability as PM-HSS
– E asy implementation on
available machines
– Noncritical reconditioning as
PM-HSS

+ 56 %
Rise in productivity
at high speed towards series production
This performance now has been transferred to larger modules. As a result,
SpeedCore hobs for module sizes 4 to 16
are now available, required for example
for gears in commercial vehicles, for heavy
machinery or in wind turbines.

Cost reduction
Powerful
Large gears occasionally have to resist
extreme loads and at the same time
work safely, efficiently and in a troublefree manner. This is only possible if
the gear cutting tool also corresponds
to the highest performance standards.
To this purpose, LMT Fette has now
utilized the special material properties
of the SpeedCore hob for large gear
cutting.

In comparison with PM-HSS, users
can set up their production even

with SpeedCore – with the same

HIGHLIGHTS Milling
New milling tools for highest efficiency
Milling tools for the highest precision. This means:
high machining performances, maximum surface quality
and geometry accuracy at the same time. These requirements demand lots of expert knowledge as already
the smallest vibrations on the tool will have an impact
on the result. For ensuring a great variety of processes
and an increase in efficiency for milling processes,
LMT has completed its product range with some novelties.
Success Story WPB-HF
The profile manufacturers:
LMT indexable inserts at arslan alüminyum
The impact of choosing the correct tool becomes
particularly obvious in this operating report of arslan
alüminyum. The proven specialist forms different
More quickly to the finish line:
Quattro-Jet MFS-HF
Precision in optimum time:
WPB-AF indexable inserts
Cutting behavior:
Tangential WSP core drill
Efficiency in dip working
and mold making: WPR SuperFinish
The modular Quattro-Jet mills extend the
program for dip working and mold making
of LMT Kieninger by a multiple-edged
tool system. The newly developed tool
contains four cutting edges and the section
point THR. As a result, the operating times
increase and/or the machining times
decrease to a large extent. Thus, you can
realize potentials of about 50 percent
and more.
The LMT Kieninger program for the
proven WPB-AF indexable inserts has
been extended with the corner radius 0.5.
This enables the perfect smoothing
of final contours especially in small
components and for delicate contours.
The WPB-AF is available with the
high-performance coating Nanomold Red,
suited for use on hardened steels up
to 62 HRC.
The new core drill indexable inserts are
suited ideally for machining cast iron and
steel. The system consists of a tangential
plate with 6 cutting edges and a supporting
land for guaranteeing a stable cutting
behavior. A positive rake angle provides
for cutting depths of up to 5 mm.
The indexable inserts with the new SF
(SuperFinish) geometry improve operating
times by up to 30 percent thanks to
an optimized cutting edge preparation.
Users can machine even larger components
without having to exchange the insert.
The high-performance coating Nanomold
Red also is used in the SuperFinish range.

Project Engineering
HIGHLIGHTS Lightweight construction
Three questions for
Jürgen Richter
Jürgen Richter
Manager of Machine Tool Manufacturers
& Project Engineering at LMT Tools
Project Engineering
Holes with diameters reaching from 6 to 25 mm have
to be drilled in the robust carbon fiber vehicle chassis
made. The solid carbide drills by LMT Onsrud yielded the
best results.
The lightweight champions
The students of the Global Formula
Racing (GFR) team repeatedly won
the 1st place in international competitions. When manufacturing their
racing cars, they rely on composite
tools by LMT Onsrud.
The junior engineers design and manufacture racing cars in the style of the
Formula 1. In 2009, the GFR team came
into existence as a cooperation between
the Oregon State University in Corvallis
(USA) and the Duale Hochschule BadenWürttemberg in Ravensburg (Germany).
Today, about 100 students work together
in this group. They join to implement
their expert knowledge in practical applications and test new ideas for lightweight
constructions.
Before cooperating with LMT Onsrud,
the team used high speed steel drills in
order to process the carbon fiber chassis
of their racing cars. The generated holes
serve as attachment points for other
vehicle components. However, the steel
drills prematurely failed after five to ten
applications.
14
LMT Onsrud had the fitting solution:
Solid carbide drills and high-performance
carbide pins. Employees in the LMT
Center in Waukegan, USA, delivered the
tools to the GFR team so that they were
able to test the functionalities themselves.
The result: Now the drills remain
operational even when drilling several
hundreds of holes. At the same time,
they provide for a better quality and a
reduced delamination.
In 2014, the students succeeded in
claiming their top rank with two new
racing cars: A model with combustion
motor weighing only 162 kg and
thus being one of the lightest models
in its class, and an electric car
taccelerating from zero to 100 km/h
in only 2.6 seconds.
Progressive
thinkers
and team-players
The complete machining of components and the optimization
of existing processes – these are the big challenges for
users in automotive, machinery and equipment construction.
The high pressure towards more efficiency and cost reduction
in the field of component production thus also challenges
the tool manufacturers. They not only have to deliver excellent
technologies but also assume partial responsibility for stable
and efficient production processes. Insights into project
engineering at LMT Tools show how users and tool manufacturers can set the course for a successful production right
from the beginning.
Mr. Richter, what does project engineering
mean for a tool manufacturer?
In the first place, our role as a tool manufacturer continuously
mutates into that of a technology partner who cooperates
closely with machine manufacturers and users and thus develops custom-fit solutions for complex machining processes.
In doing so, you need to consider a variety of technical and
economical factors right from the beginning. An important
prerequisite is having a longtime experience as well as maintaining a continuous knowledge transfer with the customers.
What experience does LMT Tools have
in the field of project engineering?
For many years, we have been implementing successfully our
customers' projects worldwide. Especially the companies
LMT Kieninger and LMT Belin, two highly specialized tool
suppliers, provide our group with their longtime experience in
the field of project engineering, particularly as to the machining
of cubic components. This includes a complex knowledge
as well as an extensive product range consisting of standard
and special tools.
How do you organize project engineering
at LMT Tools?
The project engineering center of LMT Tools is located at
the German site of Lahr at the company LMT Kieninger.
It serves as a coordination basis for the project development
in close team cooperation with the competence centers of
LMT Kieninger, LMT Belin and LMT Fette. The global service
network of LMT Tools guarantees a continuous support
reaching from tool commissioning during the project start-up
phase to the optimization of the existing production process.
Furthermore, together with our customers we develop customfit service concepts for maintaining the production process.

HIGHLIGHTS Toolmanagement
Eboy® TWISTLINE
KEEPING THINGS IN ORDER
The new spiral vending machine eboy® twistline provides
for a space-saving tool supply and storage. An integrated
tool management system calculates the most efficient
tool circulation. If the demand changes on short notice,
the remote service of LMT Tools will assist you.
The new tool cabinet by LMT Tools can schedule and store up
to 684 tools in the spiral system. As a quick and flexible supply
system, it is ideally suited for consumable tools with a high
inventory turnover ratio, for example for tap drills and indexable
inserts in different sizes. Using it is almost as easy as for a snack
vending machine: The user selects the desired tool via touchscreen – one of the spirals begins to move – the tool falls into the
collection tray. By means of an integrated system control, you
can combine up to eight systems. Such a network ensures the
logistics for more than 5,000 tools.
Use of eboy® twistline at SKF Blohm + Voss Industries
“As a supplier for shipbuilders, we produce complex
components that require a variety of different tools. We do
not take our products in stock but manufacture them
entirely on customer request. Therefore we plan and set up
our machines anew for each project. The tool supply has
to be accordingly extensive and versatile. The new eboy ® by
LMT Tools convinced us as the system ensures the continuous availability of the tools and thus saves costs.”
In case of the eboy® twistline, the users benefit from an improved
demand evaluation that is displayed clearly in a report. Shorttime changes can be processed even more quickly with a tool
management software with integrated remote service link. Thus
the response times for modifications with regard to demand
decrease considerably. In addition, the increased transparency
makes it easier to identify cost drivers and to reduce the inventory.
TOOLS FLOATING
WITH THE CURRENT
SKF Blohm + Voss Industries uses three
eboy ® tool cabinets within a combined
network system (In the picture:
Dirk Harrie, responsible for set-up and
work preparation at SKF).
16
High-tech for a safe, clean and efficient
operation of ships – this is daily work
of SKF Blohm + Voss Industries. Employing
more than 400 people at five sites and in
35 international representations worldwide, the company has become one of the
leading suppliers of the shipbuilding
industry. The product range comprises
gaskets, fin stabilizers, steering engines,
intermediate shaft bearings and high-load
thrust bearings as well as shaft components
and bilge water oil separators.
Dirk Harrie, responsible for set-up and work preparation
at SKF Blohm + Voss Industries
The cooperation with LMT Tools already
began in 2006 when the eboy® tool
vending machine of the first generation
was installed in the production area.
Eight years later, SKF Blohm + Voss
Industries opted for the new tool cabinet
eboy® twistline. The company even had
three cabinets combined into one network
system. The new system provides for a
continuous supply of all tool types and for
ordering tools from the most different
suppliers. The result: Besides the spacesaving construction and the improved
availability of the tools, SKF Blohm + Voss
Industries also benefits from the software
enabling them to evaluate the tool
consumption individually. The system
automatically adapts to the calculated
demand and thus provides for a smooth
tool flow. LMT Tools monitors the
inventory via remote maintenance and
provides for refilling the storage. This way,
the system also supports the purchase
department. In addition, applications
engineers by LMT Tools regularly visit the
site, provide for technical support and offer
training sessions.
