Cutting tools for cold milling machines

GENERATION X² round-shank picks, PCD milling tools and GENERATION C² round-shank picks

GENERATION round-shank picks are the all-rounders in the portfolio of round-shank picks for cold milling and impress with outstanding product characteristics such as the optimised wear plate with its unique grooved profile.

PCD milling tools with an extremely wear-resistant, polycrystalline diamond tool tip are the ideal choice for surface layer rehabilitation and (micro) fine milling.

GENERATION round-shank picks with an optimised clamping sleeve and shank geometry deliver particularly impressive performance in demanding concrete milling scenarios.

round-shank picks – the all-rounders for cold milling

GENERATION  round-shank picks are distinguished by unique product characteristics that above all enable a significant reduction of operating costs. A newly developed wear plate with a special grooved profile improves centring and demonstrably improves rotation behaviour. This ensures long-term cutting capability of the carbide tip and guarantees best possible carbide utilisation. In addition, the grooved profile reduces lengthwise wear of the round-shank pick toolholder and extends the service life by up to 25%.

Carbide as a cutting material is the most cost-effective solution, especially for milling non-homogeneous materials in which sudden impact load peaks can be expected. GENERATION  all-round round-shank picks with carbide tips are therefore the ideal solution for every application – regardless of whether it involves soft asphalt, hard asphalt or concrete milling tasks.

PERSUASIVE ARGUMENTS:

  • Up to 25% longer service life of the toolholder top parts due to the unique grooved profile on the underside of the wear plate of the GENERATION round-shank picks
  • The enormous flexibility of the intelligently engineered family of GENERATION  round-shank picks fulfils the specific requirements of widely differing construction sites
  • Outstanding operational reliability of the redesigned and modified carbide tip geometry ensures the absorption of maximum loads while minimising the risk of carbide fracture

PCD cutting tools

The specialists for surface layer rehabilitation and (micro) fine milling

Thanks to the tool geometry and materials, PCD milling tools are the perfect choice for surface layer rehabilitation and (micro) fine milling applications. They have an particularly wear-resistant tool tip made of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) with an extremely long service life. The only slight lengthwise wear results in a high degree of flatness of the milled surface and a consistently high machine advance rate.

Depending on your applications, PCD milling tools can be a useful addition to your existing stock of round-shank picks with conventional carbide tips.

PCD milling tools: As a cutting material, polycrystalline diamond (PCD) is the ideal solution for milling homogeneous asphalt packages in which no sudden impact load peaks are to be expected.In particular, PCD milling tools are a cost-effective alternative for surface layer rehabilitation to depths of up to 8 cm and in the area of (micro) fine milling of asphalt surfaces.

PERSUASIVE ARGUMENTS:

  • Consistently uniform milling pattern due to significantly reduced lengthwise wear
  • Greater machine productivity thanks to no longer necessary or fewer tool changes and constantly high machine advance rate
  • Lower operating costs as a result of lower maintenance overheads
  • Consistently high cutting capability due to low tip geometry wear

GENERATION

Round-shank picks – the ideal solution for concrete milling

GENERATION round-shank picks have been developed especially for concrete and asphalt milling with ECO Cutter milling drums. In combination with the shortened clamping sleeve, the optimised pick shank ideally conducts the milling forces to the top part of the toolholder and relieves the forces acting on the clamping sleeve. The shortened clamping sleeve precisely and permanently secures the round-shank pick in the toolholder. The modified shank geometry further increases the fracture toughness,

All in all, GENERATION round-shank picks offer optimised carbide distribution with improved cutting performance and increased fracture toughness. The heavy-duty steel body geometry improves chip removal and extends the picks’ service life.
