Extended gearing expertise

The gear cutting specialist LMT Fette, a subsidiary of LMT Tools, is continuously expanding its product and service portfolio. New gear cutting tools, innovative solutions, additional manufacturing capacities, and expanded know-how – including through the integration of PWS's expertise – open up exciting opportunities and create real added value for customers.

LMT Fette's gear cutting tools impress with their unique performance, high level of innovation, and unparalleled efficiency, and have long been considered the ultimate in gear machining. With its passionate commitment to precision, the company ensures that its industrial customers use superior quality at the crucial interface between machine and workpiece. Technological progress and changing customer needs are the most important drivers for innovation.

Expanded application, design, and manufacturing expertise

"Gear cutting processes are now highly optimized. At the same time, the demands on performance, precision, process reliability, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness are increasing," explains André Bollow, Head of the Gear Cutting Product Line at LMT Tools, emphasizing: "With our concentrated gear cutting expertise, our vast wealth of experience, our expanded product portfolio, and our expanded manufacturing capacities and processes, we now offer customers even greater flexibility in technology consulting, more design adaptation options, and additional opportunities to further maximize the performance of our tools."

Focus on Gear Skiving and Shaping

Currently, we are focusing on gear skiving and gear shaping – two processes that are particularly suitable for internal gears and external gears with interference contours. LMT Fette's strengths include special profiles and high-precision quality requirements that must be met with both cylindrical and conical tools. Gear skiving, in particular, is gaining increasing importance thanks to its advantages in terms of productivity, quality, and efficiency. For example, the required gear modifications for electric transmissions in the automotive industry cannot be produced with the required high quality using conventional broaching processes. The gear skiving specialist supports gear skiving with high-performance, process-reliable tools and specially developed simulation software – all from a single source.

New Skiving and Cutting Wheels

The LMT portfolio includes cutting wheels for gear shaping made of PM material, skiving wheels for gear skiving made of PM, solid carbide, and insert-type designs, tools for gear skiving with modules from 0.5 to 8, gear shaping tools with modules from 0.8 to 12, and indexable insert skiving wheels with modules from 3 to 8. Aviation, automotive – with a focus on BEV transmission gears –, mechanical engineering, and robotics are important fields of application.

Technology consulting and tool solutions from a single source

"The new products complete our range of gear cutting tools with geometrically defined cutting edges. We are also able to cover larger module ranges. We can now also produce tools with a module of less than 1 mm," explains André Bollow, adding: "We implement the optimal solution for our customers' application-specific needs and get the most out of every process with a customized tool and process design."
