Kennametal Partners with EWS Tool Technologies



A variety of Kennametal Modular (KM) tooling for multitasking machines, machining centers and mill-turn lathes is readily available, helping to improve productivity in machining applications

The partnership between Kennametal and EWS promises to expand the company's offering of KM tooling

"Multitasking and mill-turn centers were once considered high-end specialty machines, found only in shops with the financial resources and production volumes needed to justify such an investment. Not anymore," said a company spokesperson. "Turning centers with live tool stations are becoming increasingly popular with machine shops of all sizes. These machines offer the ability to cost-effectively machine parts in a single operation."

With capability comes complexity, however, and the need to maximize the output of such a machine tool investment through reduced set-up time is ever present. "Kennametal Inc., Latrobe, PA, has been meeting these needs for decades with state-of-the-art cutting tool and toolholder solutions such as its KM (Kennametal Modular) quick-change tooling, and has recently announced a substantial expansion of that offering, one that promises to make driven tool set-up fast and accurate," said the spokesperson.

"The partnership between Kennametal and EWS Tool Technologies is aimed at maximizing our customers' productivity by providing the best tooling solution and support for their CNC lathes," said Jay Verellen, Director of Global Product Management, Tooling Systems. "The KM quick change connection is one of the most comprehensive in the industry. Together with EWS' global leadership in driven tooling and static tool blocks, we will provide a standard range ready to tool up many major brands of CNC turning centers with this incredible system."

EWS was founded in 1960 as a manufacturer of laboratory equipment and hydraulic components in Köngen, Germany. The company soon expanded into machine tool accessories and today offers more than 15,000 driven and 25,000 static toolholders in its product lineup.

"You don't have to wait two weeks for a worn tool to arrive in Germany," said Bahti Hanedar, Chief Financial Officer at Command Tooling Systems, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EWS. "For those in the U.S., the tools are serviced here using original OEM parts, by factory trained personnel. EWS also has manufacturing locations in Korea, China and Russia."

Quick response applies to custom tooling as well. Hanedar said, "We have the capability for quick turnaround of custom solutions in the U.S. and elsewhere, and are making engineering and service investments at all locations."
