Together with the material manufacturer, Toray Advanced Composites and machine manufacturer CMS, Hufschmied Zerspanungssysteme held its online event ‘Virtual Masterclass’ on March 4th. During the presentation, Toray’s Cetex TC1225 material was machined with the Hufschmied 065SMCS.

Titled ‘Effective machining of high-performance carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic composite materials’, a video from the processing of the Toray Cetex TC1225 material with the Hufschmied tool 065SMCS is now available at

Another online event from the Virtual Masterclass series is scheduled for April the 22nd.

Hufschmied's machining experts showed applicants and manufacturing managers online the 5-axis machining of Toray Cetex TC1225 with the Hufschmied tool 065SMCS and explained the diamond coating and special geometry of the three-edged tool with chipbreakers.

Machining videos showed that this roughing/finishing tool produces perfect surfaces in one step. Even a plate only 1.1mm thick could be machined without problems at 16,000rpm and 3,000mm/min feedrate. The demonstrators provided by Toray had been machined at CMS on its Ares 4818 high-speed 5-axis milling centre.

"We are offering expert information for practitioners in the Virtual Masterclasses and are pleased that participants from all over the world have been attending,” stated Hufschmied Zerspanungssysteme’s business development and the moderator of the event, Heiko Simonis (pictured). “The thin-walled Cetex in particular shows how important the right tool for efficient machining of a thermoplastic composite is without any delamination or melting."
