Conicity Technologies, the world leader in cutting tool edge preparation technology, has an informative, user–friendly Web site, listed below. The site contains a wealth of informative material including an introduction to edge preparation, case studies, lab evaluations, an edge prep image library, edge preparation equipment and supplies available for purchase and technical information on Conicity’s patented Engineered Micro–Geometry™ (EMG™) process.
EMG technology distributes a precise micro–geometry along the cutting edge to dramatically improve the performance of nearly all carbide, cermet, ceramic, CBN, and PCD tools. Previously, controlling the hone on the edge of a tool was impossible to carefully engineer; Conicity’s patented EMG makes this possible.
The Web site highlights the key benefits to using EMG technology, which include increased productivity by enabling the tool to withstand higher cutting forces and operating at higher speeds without breakage. Part quality is also improved due to the production of precise surface finishes. In addition, Conicity’s EMG process results in longer tool life.
Conicity’s EMG technology is available to users through a variety of methods. Tools can be outsourced for processing to Conicity’s service center regardless of quantity. Tools that have the EMG technology already applied are also available for sale, and users can also obtain equipment licenses.
Conicity Technologies—a subsidiary of Weiler Corporation headquartered in Cresco, Pennsylvania—is the developer of the patented EMG technology used to improve workpiece quality and extend tool life through precise management of the tool–workpiece interface.
