LMT Tools

With a global presence, LMT Tools handles a number of arms under the Group. They are specialists in gear hobs, rolling heads, customising the milling of cast steel non-ferrous metals and other hard-to-cut metals, and precise component machining, among others. Reddy says that for Industry 4.0 to succeed, there is a need for reliable tools, which have to perform consistently.

The company displayed products for gear hobbing, thread rolling, special automotive applications, tapping, die mould milling, composite milling, etc. “With increasing industrial production, the machine tool industry is in the growth phase. The same applies to the cutting tool industry, however, this is also coupled with increasing competition. We also offer special applications in the automotive industry, aerospace industry, etc. In 2018, we registered a 30% growth, which speaks much about our products,” says Reddy.

Introducing a new product, Szillat said that the tangential rolling heads can be used in several diverse applications, such as machines with controlled feed, CNC lathes, or in machining centres. Their high-precision performance enables a short thread run-out and an extremely short threads, even between tips or bedhind a collar. Tangential rolling heads have two rolls which contact the workpiece from the side. The rolls form the thread as they move perpendicular to the workpiece during the feed motion. The roll profile corresponds to the profile of the workpiece being produced. The profile length is limited to the width of the rolls.
