 Process reliability is of the utmost importance to the tool maker Liechti Engineering. At Liechti, the tool clamping system used plays a key role a constant clamping force is essential for insuring reliability. The Swiss company has relied on the powRgrip system from REGO-FIX in particular for many years. Their trust in the system is reinforced, above all, by the fact that the powRgrip System results in a considerably low level of tool wear.
Liechti Engineering is the market leader in quality for programming and machining solutions worldwide in manufacturing flow profiles on turbine components. The Swiss company offers overall solutions and specialises in building machines that are tailored to complex airfoil components. Thanks to their specific profile machining technology, Liechti milling machines reduce machining times by up to 30 per cent. This level of performance is a primary result of its development expertise and know-how in machining materials, such as titanium, Inconel, Nimonic and high-alloy steels.
Process reliability is a very important aspect for Liechti Engineering and its customers. After all, reproducibility must be guaranteed and it relies on a constant clamping force. In addition, everything runs on 5-axis machines at the test centre in Langnau. The cutting programs are running at their outright limit. If a tool clamping system is used, it must operate with maximum efficiency under these specified requirements.
