A game changing design for various metalworking applications

MARK Filosemi, product manager of Kennametal asks what it would take to launch the world’s best grooving and cutoff system. He mentions that they began with  longer tool life and higher cutting speed. Their customers added something different since they wanted to stop leafing through hundreds of pages of catalogs and thousands of items because it was difficult, time-consuming, and expensive.

Beyond Evolution is what the company claims to be the solution to grooving and cutoff. It is easy to choose, easy to use became the foundation of Beyond Evolution’s development.  The goal to offer a system that was less complicated to navigate and select, complimented by an equally simple approach to using it.

To enhace customer experience, Filosemi says the Beyond Evolution is a single-sided grooving and cutoff system for deeper grooving capability than double-ended systems. A proprietary “Triple V” design with top, bottom, and backside V-shaped seating in the holder pocket th creates a pull-in effect for exceptionally high stability for deep grooving, face grooving, side turning, and profiling, among other applications.

Better results, new innovations

Beyond Evolution will groove deeper than double-ended systems, turn with 90% of the stability and allow interchangeability regardless of geometry or application. It offers tighter indexing tolerances, longer cutting depths, and new plunge and turn geometries

Beyond Evolution is claimed to be easy to use, reducing inventory and expenses. And where conventional product launches focus on a single line item, Beyond Evolution will be launched in multiple grades for dozens of applications – a full line offering that promises higher performance and reduced costs immediately.

Whether you’re digitally native or prefer print, much more information, including grade descriptions, feed and speed recommendations, and full ordering information is available in the new Innovations 2016 catalog from Kennametal – an invaluable resource for the latest advances across the entire range of Kennametal applications.

Moreover, Beyond Evolution is available through NOVO™, Kennametal’s digital process knowledge application. With powerful process knowledge available on iPad™ and other digital devices, NOVO helps users define machining features, such as profiling or grooving in specific work materials, and then immediately reduces the product set to those like Beyond Evolution that can do the job. This provides far more useful process knowledge than any online catalog alone, all obtained in a fraction of the time.
