At AMB 2016, the KOMET Group presented a variety of new product solutions under the trade fair slogan  "The CUTTING EDGE - Total Productivity Solutions". The highlights include newly developed reaming tools such as KOMET DIHART Freemax, hi.max and Fullmax Champions, which impress with their increased ease of use and improved performance.

With the KOMET DIHART Freemax, the KOMET GROUP has successfully developed a new high-precision indexable insert reaming tool that is even easier to operate than the current versions on offer. In previous tools, each insert had to be assigned a specific insert seat (identified by the letters A, B, C, etc.) due to the requirement for concentricity, but this positioning has now become redundant in the new concept. Users can fit the precision-ground indexable inserts with three cutting edges into the new KOMET DIHART Freemax tool in any order, making it virtually impossible to equip the tool incorrectly.

The new KOMET DIHART hi.max monoblock reaming tool is just as easy to use and can be used as a universal tool for high feed rates and cutting speeds due to its stability. It is available in a coated version and an uncoated version for carbide and cermet cutting materials and lends itself to use with many different materials. The diameter is particularly easy to measure thanks to the fact that the cutting edges are arranged opposite one another in pairs. The uneven spacing of the cutting edges in particular ensures that the most stringent requirements for concentricity of the drilled hole are met. The monoblock construction is synonymous with high levels of stability and process capability.
