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 Managing Director and spokesman at LMT Tools 4 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. 5 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.

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. www.lmt-tools.com Boehlerit GmbH & Co.

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. 7 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. Thread former HPF M8 thread former × 1 HSS-E PM Coated Cutting rates: Vc = 6 m/min n = 240 rpm Cooling: Oil Operating time: 15,000 threads Cycle time: approx. 10 seconds www.lmt-tools.com/threading Solution: HPF-IKZ M8 × 1 6GX by LMT Fette Cutting rates: Vc = 25 m/min The new axial cooling makes it possible to provide for an optimal cooling during the forming process. (max. machine cycles reached) n = 1,000 rpm Cooling: IKZ with oil Operating time: 60,000 threads Cycle time: approx. 3 seconds Result: Increase of the operating time by factor of 4 and reduction of the cycle time by 70 % 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 newly structured selection criteria, clear pictograms and application recommendations support the users in choosing the right tool. 10 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 www.lmt-tools.com/speedcore + 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. PM-HSS SpeedCore - 26 % 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. PM-HSS SpeedCore In comparison with PM-HSS, users can set up their production even more efficient and cost-conscious with SpeedCore – with the same high operating reliability 11 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. profiles from about 5,200 tons of aluminum a month.

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. 1. Planning and bid phase 2. Project request of the data 3.

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. 17 News AND service LMT Technology Group LMT Tool Systems Alliance Partner LMT FETTE GERMANY LEARNING VIA WEB BILZ WERKZEUGFABRIK LMT Tool Systems LMT RUSSIA LMT UK LMT BOEHLERIT POLSKA LMT FRANCE LMT USA LMT ONSRUD USA LMT CZECH REPUBLIC LMT BELIN FRANCE LMT ROMANIA BÖHLER SERT MADEN LMT BOEHLERIT SPAIN LMT BOEHLERIT HUNGARY LMT KOREA LMT CHINA LMT ITALY BOEHLERIT AUSTRIA LMT BOEHLERIT MEXICO LMT KIENINGER GERMANY LMT INDIA LMT TECHNOLOGY GROUP www.lmt-tools.com/seminars “The contents of the webinars are tailored exactly to one definite product segment or one definite user's area – that makes them very efficient.
