SPK® Cutting Tools @ SouthTec 2025

Discover something new - at SPK® Cutting Tools at stand 840 in hall 1! SouthTec is an annual trade fair for manufacturing and production technology and part of the Manufacturing Technology Series (MTS), organised by SME and AMT. It is aimed at industries such as aerospace, automotive, mechanical engineering, electronics and plastics processing to present the latest technologies, process innovations and automation solutions.

We cordially invite you to visit us at our stand - it's worth it. There we will show you how we are rethinking high-performance cutting for leading industries - with tool solutions that are precisely designed for the challenges in aerospace, energy technology or high-end series production:

  • Superalloys such as Inconel, Waspaloy or Renewear
  • Intensive cast iron components in mechanical engineering or the automotive industry

Visit us at stand 840 in hall 1. Our experts know the special requirements of your industry - from HRSA machining to series production of your cast iron components.

In the HPC mould system, the coolant is supplied through the clamping finger. The coolant outlets on the clamping finger are designed so that the coolant is channelled directly into the active zone where it is needed. The tool can be subjected to a coolant pressure of up to 200 bar.

Another advantage of high-pressure cooling is that strip chips can be broken into small pieces. Process-disrupting swarf is thus avoided.

  • Name: AKT 180
  • For materials: GJL and centrifugally cast components
  • Type of application: Roughing and finish turning
  • Type of machining: Turning, grooving. Dry machining
  • Manufacturer advantage: Cutting inserts available in special geometries.

If the tool holder is directly exposed to flying chips, the abrasive effect of the chips can cause the tool holder to wear heavily and therefore need to be replaced quickly.

SPK Cutting Tools has an effective solution to this problem: ceramic wear protection for the tool holder. A measure that is extremely economical for special tools, as these are often used for large series or in mass production.
