A lot has already happened in the production process before methods like drilling, reaming or threading are used. This makes it all the more important that tool failure doesn‘t lead to damage or even destruction of the almost finished part during these final machining steps. MAPAL‘s tools are more than just extremely reliable – they also enable high productivity. Three-edged drilling and reaming in one step are just as much a part of this as the thread milling cutter integrated into a combination tool.

The family-owned company BOGE Kompressoren with its headquarters in Bielefeld, Germany, is a world-renowned technology and market leader in units for generating compressed air.

In the space of six years, Marco Schülken has thoroughly transformed the Thuringian toolmaking company he took over in 2015. With his 30 employees, he was able to attract customers in various sectors and enter new markets, including the ones abroad. MAPAL came into play when looking at optimising production processes.

With new PCD solid head milling cutters, MAPAL is extending the possibility of machining carbide and other hard-brittle materials to smaller diameters.

PCD tools are the first choice for highly productive machining of aluminium parts within the automotive industry. And yet the polycrystalline diamond lends itself to a wealth of other applications. MAPAL uses its extensive experience and the know-how on applications that ideally fit the strengths of PCD tools to develop individual solutions for optimum machining processes – together with the customer.

MAPAL is back on the international trade fair stages. For six days, from 4 to 9 October, the company was represented at the EMO in Milan. It was MAPAL's first major appearance since the start of the pandemic.

In addition to drive systems and components, fluid technology is one of the most important supplier sectors for all industrial production. Going forward, MAPAL will manage this important area as an independent market segment.

With increasing numbers of electric vehicles, not only very precisely manufactured parts are required, but also the most efficient production possible. One part that is particularly demanding in terms of machining is the motor housing for the electric motor. MAPAL has already established a three-stage solution for machining the stator bore. The precision tool manufacturer now presents a large tool for external machining.

To ensure highly productive machining of stainless steel (Inox), MAPAL is launching the OptiMill-Tro-Inox – a new, six-fluted solid carbide trochoidal milling cutter.

The standard radial milling cutter range NeoMill from MAPAL with its face, corner, slot, shell end and high-feed milling cutters stands for maximum productivity and cost-effectiveness, particularly in series production.
