Unique on the global market: the new, intelligent KOMflex precision spindle system from CERATIZIT communicates with the BLUM RC66 radio interface. The combination enables fully automated diameter correction during precision boring. CERATIZIT is already using the system in the KOMET factory in Besigheim – both in production and on an ultra-modern Heller 5-axis machining centre in the demonstration centre.

Digitisation has already been incorporated into CNC machine workshops in many sectors in a variety of ways. Tool manufacturers are also striving to transform the advantages of exchanging digital data into immediate user benefits. Michael Renz, head of the actuating tools product line at CERATIZIT in Besigheim, is in no doubt of the benefits: "The future lies in intelligent tools that can independently monitor and correct themselves. This makes machining more flexible, safer, more precise, and more cost-effective."

Renz is therefore continually driving forward the digitisation of the mechatronic actuating tools and is looking for partners to aid in the development of new tool solutions. He has found the ideal partner in Blum-Novotest: "We have already worked well together on a customer project with our U-axis several years ago, and more recently on the government-funded BaZMod research project into optimised energy and data transfer between the machine and tool."
