The top-class brand Cutting Solutions by CERATIZIT was selected by Weingärtner Maschinenbau to supply the most important tools for the new mpmc-2000S, a machining centre used for the complete machining of work pieces weighing up to 60 tonnes.

Its predecessor, the mpmc 1200, has been scaled up to accommodate larger turning diameters and heavier work pieces. This resulted in Weingärtner receiving an order from an American energy firm to deliver the machine to process the turbine shaft destined for use in a gas turbine power plant.

Maximum machining quality with tools from Cutting Solutions by CERATIZIT

Tools from the top-class brand Cutting Solutions by CERATIZIT made a decisive contribution to the success of this project, which was also challenging in terms of the time-frame, by delivering the overall machining concept, including all the important tools.

Cutting Solutions by CERATIZIT convinced in terms of productivity, process security and dimensional accuracy and achieved outstanding results when using the new Silverstar coating in the milling tests.

The machining time for the giant turbine shaft – which is used in gas or vapour turbine power plants – has been reduced by two thirds compared to the time previously required for this process.

Successful cooperation between Cutting Solutions by CERATIZIT and Weingärtner

In December 2014, Cutting Solutions by CERATIZIT was chosen as the partner for developing and delivering the tooling concept.

Tools from Cutting Solutions by CERATIZIT meet the highest quality criteria and, at the same time, reduce costs. Further deciding factors were the individual logistics concept, the 100 % availability of all tools at any time and the company’s U.S. subsidiary.

Excellent team performance was guaranteed as both parties could always rely on each other in every phase of this challenging project demonstrating that together they are strong partners for demanding customers around the world.
