ANCA Tool of the Year 2021 – Complexity through simplicity

By OEM Update Editorial June 24, 2021 4:28 pm

ANCA makes it simple to design and grind complex tools.

To find the Tool of the Year, customers can submit their favourite tool and the winners will be judged and announced live at EMO. The main prize is #MadeonANCA tools and entrants will be judged on the form and performance of their cutting tool. The second category is for virtual tools as the “Most innovative tool design – 2021”. Entrants are encouraged to be creative and use ANCA tool design software to push ideas to their limits. 

The winner of #MadeonANCA receives $10,000 AUD worth of ANCA innovations for parts, accessories or software that fit your grinding needs and the winner of the most innovative virtual tool will receive the full CIM software package.

The year 2020’s #MadeonANCA competition winner, ARCH Cutting Tools’ entry demonstrated excellent use of multiple iGrind operations with several complex profiles.  Jeff Cederstrom, President, ARCH Cutting Tools said, “It is a humbling experience to be involved in a friendly competition with some of the world’s most innovative and technically advanced cutting tool manufacturers. We will use the recognition to further motivate us to push the limits of cutting tool design to meet our ultimate goal of meeting our customers’ needs and the challenges they have in their applications every day.” 

The competition will be based on the passion and the craft of tool making and celebrate our highly skilled tool grinding community. And, the submissions are open from 15th June – 15th August.
