LMT Tools, a specialist for the development and production of precision tools, and Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH, a manufacturer of CNC gear cutting machines and automation systems, recently signed a cooperation contract for the new ChamferCut-CG (collision gear) and ChamferCut-IG (internal gear).
"With the ChamferCut cutting method offered by LMT Fette, LMT Tools raised the process of chamfering and deburring gears to a new level some years ago," said an LMT Tools spokesperson. "In close collaboration with Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH, the tool specialist was responsible for launching the first evolutionary stage." Accordingly, the gear machine manufacturer based in Kempten has co-designed and supported development of this innovative technology, including in the form of specially-developed gear hobbing and chamfering machine designs.
With the new ChamferCut-CG (collision gear) and ChamferCut-IG (internal gear), this partnership is now entering its second round. At EMO in Hanover, Daniel Ehmans, CEO LMT Tools, and Dr. Hans Gronbach, Managing Director Technology, Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH, signed a corresponding cooperation agreement recording mutual exclusivity. "Liebherr already enjoys by far the largest penetration of the market for ChamferCuts offered by LMT Fette," said a spokesperson. "Now, due to the new agreement, these latest extensions also enable users to benefit from the high degree of process and application competence as well as long-term expertise offered by these technology partners."
"We have already been linked to Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH for several years by means of a very close and agile cooperation that goes well beyond a basic supplier-customer relationship," said Ehmans. "This strong partnership is also the result of similar values and goals that we share as companies and premium manufacturers driven by innovation. We are, therefore, particularly delighted that Liebherr is once again at our side with ChamferCut-CG and ChamferCut-IG and joining us in designing technological progress."
Gronbach added, "Customers expect us to come up with solutions for deburring and chamfering, even of those gears which have been regarded as non-chamferable to date. We are extremely pleased to be collaborating with LMT Fette to offer Liebherr customers exclusive new technology solutions for chamfering."
"Innovative technology, tailored machines and custom-fit solutions underline the comprehensive approach pursued by LMT Tools and Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH in their joint activities," said a spokesperson. "By developing their partnership, these technology partners will be linking their competences even more strongly in the future. The new ChamferCut tools also see this experienced team relying on consistent customer orientation during process design and implementation while supporting the customer to develop the very best manufacturing strategy."
