Leitz ProfilCut Q wins the Red Dot Award

 Monday, May 2, 2016

LeitzProfilCut Q, the new generation of profile tooling system by Leitz, was first introduced at the 2015 Ligna Fair in Hannover. Proving a great success since its launch, ProfilCut Q Premium has received the renowned Red Dot Award in the Product Design category.

 
The Red Dot Award is one of the highest-respected design competitions in the world. It is awarded for highest design quality in the Product Design, Communication Design and Design Concept disciplines.

 

 

The Leitz ProfilCut Q Premium is the fastest profile tooling system in the woodworking industry. Conventional systems reach their limit at cutting speeds of 80 to 90 meters (maximum) per second. But this new Leitz generation of profile tooling is approved for cutting speeds of up to 120 meters per second. This allows users to run higher feed speeds with the same number of teeth, increasing productivity and output. Leitz paid strict attention to high running accuracy; together with high speeds. This leads to improved finish quality.

Due to its aluminum body the tool has clearly a huge weight advantage compared to conventional steel tool bodies and operates with less vibration than comparable products. The new design contributes to decreased vibration during machining which contributes to the tool performance and surface finish as well as making this tooling system a real eye-catcher. In fact ProfilCut Q Premium’s design has no corners or edges typical to many tools. As ProfilCut Q Premium creates less vibration, optimum values are achieved in cutting speeds and rotation accuracy while simultaneously improving noise reduction by 3 dB(A) compared to any other profile tooling system on the market.
