We have the most engaging solutions in tooth cutting technology

Tools and machines take the lead alternately in the competition for progress in the production technology for the manufacture of gearwheels. In the tools sector, Fette has long been crucial in setting the pace of development, with significant improvements in the tools and in the level of performance improvement achieved.

The correct choice of cutting material is important both for achieving optimum performance and for obtaining economical procurement and maintenance costs. This begins, as early as the design of the tool, in close co-operation between the user and the tool manufacturer. The correct choice of cutting material is made together, where the most realistic possible assessment of costs provides the basis both for the best possible performance and for economic procurement and maintenance costs.

Coating tooth cutting tools has now become standard practice. Fette's modern coating plant can carry out all currently known PVD coating processes, and also provides a recoating service for customers after tools have been reworked.

Optimum usage of tools in order to achieve the predetermined tool lives is usually determined through close co-operation between the user and the tool manufacturer. Questions such as the specification of the cutting conditions and the choice of dry or wet machining are of crucial significance to process control, to the capital that must be kept available, the utilisation of capacity and, finally, to the manufacturing costs of each gear wheel produced.

In this sense, a gear cutting tool from Fette is more than just a bit of operating equipment. It is an important member of a technologically challenging process chain, created through detailed individual analysis and through special materials and processes.
