Knurling, Marking Tools Meet Mold Marking Requirements

Platinum Tooling is now the North American importer of the Quick knurling and marking tools from Hommel & Keller. Its knurling and marking tool line is being displayed by the company at its booth in addition to running in the Marubeni booth on Miyano/Citizen lathes. 

The Quick product spectrum is designed to offer innovative solutions for diverse knurling technology applications. For both form knurling and cut knurling, Quick can fulfill the quality standards and complete difficult tasks. Knurling tools are available for use on a wide range of workpiece diameters, including small tools for Swiss-type lathes from 1.5 mm.

Moldmaking shops frequently mark or knurl products such as blocks, inserts and other mold components for various reasons, e.g., inventory and security. These products from Hommel & Keller are built specifically for that purpose. 

Quick marking tools make it possible to mark workpieces in seconds on a variety of surfaces and part geometries. Through single marking segments, the marking text can be individually customized. Tools are available in two diameters for interchangeable lettering, as well as custom logos.

The company says these tools can be used whenever absolute precision and first-rate surface quality are needed. Examples outside of moldmaking include medical and dental instruments, watches, fishing gear, windshield wiper shafts, barbells, screwdriver bits, fittings, connectors plus welding and cutting equipment.
