April 15, 2021, Beijing-Seco Tools (SECO TOOLS), the world’s leading supplier of metal cutting solutions, grandly held the 2021 spring new product launch conference in Beijing. A series of innovative product technologies, focusing on efficient processing solutions in multiple industries, and at the same time sharing Seco Group’s multiple strategies in assisting the transformation and sustainable development of the manufacturing industry and Seco China’s future development plans. The conference attracted the participation of more than 200 guests, including end-user enterprise representatives, partners and domestic professional media reporters, and was a complete success.
A series of innovations covering multiple application fields
As the focus of this conference, the new Tornado 16 milling cutter has attracted much attention with its multiple innovative designs. The first is its significant leap in processing performance. Compared with the existing whirlwind milling cutter series, the helix angle has been increased from 15° to 17,5°, and the maximum slope angle of the smaller diameter has been significantly improved, making the cutting smoother. , While chip removal is smoother, it will also bring users better surface quality, longer tool life and greatly improved processing efficiency. The second is the innovation of the internal cooling method. The unique internal cooling channel design that penetrates both the tool body and the tool holder in the toolholder milling cutter effectively improves the cooling effect and prolongs the tool life. Then there is the digital advantage. Cyclone 16 is Seco’s first tool product that uses QR code labels on both the body and the blade. Users can read product and production information through the Seco Assistant mobile app at any time, and can also interact with the user’s production , The management system is connected to realize data interconnection and efficient management and control. Before the product was officially released, it had received inquiries and trial cut requests from many users. The comparative demonstration of multiple actual processing cases on site also further confirmed that the excellent performance of Cyclone 16 has been recognized by users.
Taking the benefit of users as the starting point, Seco Tools also launched a series of innovative products covering multiple application fields. The innovative barrel knife series for finishing, with a special arc-shaped groove developed and designed based on high-speed machining theory, and by adopting a large step distance, the finishing time can be greatly shortened by more than 80%. At the same time, the geometry also brings excellent versatility, can deal with almost all materials and processing profiles, effectively helping users reduce tool inventory and reduce production costs.
For the solid drill FEEDMAXTM-MS for difficult-to-machine materials, an innovative niobium nitride coating is added to the tool base titanium-aluminum coating, which can effectively prevent the formation of built-up edge and edge zone during cutting. Ensure the safety and reliability of the processing technology. The tap products that focus on hole processing applications cover the blind hole processing of various materials such as nickel-based alloys and titanium alloys with a rich product series.
Productivity turnkey service to help users improve more comprehensively
In addition to a series of new product technologies, Seco also explained the upgrade and innovation of its services at the press conference-“tool turnkey service for overall efficiency improvement projects”. Breaking through the supply of products and services in a single field of tool cutting, using its own rich cutting expertise and global experience, as well as a strong network of technical experts, Seco is committed to assisting users in multiple areas such as processing solutions, process optimization, and production management. overall enhancement.
Tool total package, overall efficiency improvement service. When a tool cutting plan is extended to one or more machine tools for multiple processing of the workpiece, the end user needs to obtain more guidance on workpiece operation, processing strategy, automation integration, etc., so as to maximize the entire production. The productivity of the line or workshop. Seco’s overall efficiency improvement service is an innovative cooperation model for this demand. It starts with the tool turnkey solution and covers the multi-level process to achieve the overall optimization of tool costs and production efficiency.
A turnkey solution for multiple industries. “We provide tools, but also help users to use the tools well. Specific to each industry, for different industry characteristics, parts conditions and user needs, Seco has a professional technical team to help users find the most efficient and economical processing solutions. “Seco Tools Greater China Technical Director and OSK General Manager Mr. Su Guojiang said, “For example, for aerospace manufacturing, we have gathered a variety of technical elites to set up an’aviation team’, ranging from processing strategies to non-standard product solutions, and then To the overall optimization of the process, application testing, and close cooperation with users in all aspects, and finally reach the delivery of a complete processing plan.”
Consultancy services throughout the entire production chain. In addition to tool services and engineering services, in the past few decades, Seco has also provided larger-scale consulting services to some extent—helping companies study processing techniques and identify improvements that can increase production efficiency and reduce costs. , And provide evaluation opinions and solutions from multiple aspects such as organizational structure, daily activities, and personnel conditions, which truly help users achieve sustainable development in manufacturing. According to past data, Seco consulting services can help users reduce production costs by 3%-10% on average.
Seco 2025, to become a reliable partner in stimulating the transformation of the manufacturing industry
“Being a reliable partner that can stimulate the transformation of the manufacturing industry” is the core concept of Seco’s 2025 strategy. In order to realize this promise, Seco is continuously deepening its measures in many fields.
sustainable development. As a global manufacturing company, Seco has always adopted an active and comprehensive sustainable development strategy and is committed to implementing this concept into business operations and daily production. For example, the exclusive research and development of the cyclone 16 milling cutter, non-nickel-plated corrosion-resistant tool steel, compared with traditional nickel-plated steel, can reduce the damage pressure on the ecosystem without increasing user costs. 27%, reducing resource consumption by 23% and reducing greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions by 46%. Seco also plans to apply this process to more product series in the future. At the same time, by recycling and reusing second-hand cemented carbide tools, vigorously expanding online sales channels, digitizing internal management processes, and establishing green foundations, Seco has more than 250 sustainable development projects worldwide that are contributing to the protection of the global environment.
Deep localization. In the 25 years since the company was formally registered in 1995, Seco has been growing rapidly along with the development of China’s manufacturing industry, and has helped many Chinese manufacturing companies to transform and upgrade with cutting-edge technology. Practicing China’s localization strategy and staying close to local users are also the focus of Seco 2025. “Relying on the efficient and fast local response of our local sub-brand OSK Precision Tools, combined with a series of innovative measures covering internal training, product innovation, service optimization, etc., Seco will strive to mobilize all resources to promote the transformation of manufacturing in China. Help. To be a trustworthy and reliable partner in the new era of intelligent manufacturing, Seco China has been working hard!” Mr. Jean-François Martins, Managing Director of Seco Tools Greater China, concluded.
