Coatings

LUTZ Blades – Hard and frictionless coatings for extended lifetime and better blade performance What applies to our materials, also applies to our coatings: there is no standard solution! Instead, our experts advisors will recommend to you precisely the right coating for your specific cutting application. Your benefits of LUTZ highperformance coatings include Higher cutting speed, blade lifetime and process output Improved cutting quality (e.g. through less edge build-up with film) Better edge protection due to less friction and heat Reduced cutting start-off or downtime during blade changes The LUTZ coatings range includes the following choices: TiN TiC TiCN TiAlN ZrN DLC CrN Teflon®PTFE Based on our many years of manufacturing and coating experience we will be pleased to recommend you the coating that improves your cutting application.

LUTZ Blades - range of materials

There is no single perfect material. Many factors are involved in selecting exactly the right material to match your cutting application. Skill and experience are necessary to know what material best suits you for your application, environment, process, etc. Our goal is to provide you a blade that gives you the maximum cutting quality at the most cost efficient price. Material selection is an important part of this equation. With that in mind, Lutz is happy to provide the following chart as a guide in the best material selection for the job.

LUTZ Blades – Sharpness

Geometry and tolerances Triple-bevel grinding Application-specific cutting-edge configuration Cutting edges can be anything from "razor-sharp" to "defined blunt" Grinding processes There are numerous grinding processes, including some for multi-sided blades The grinding parameters are designed to match the geometry and material Automatic in-process gauging of key parameters Coatings and materials The hardening process and material used are adapted to match the cutting application Hard-material and frictionless coatings Stainless steel, tungsten carbide, HSS, ceramic and others Please contact our expert staff for further assistance!

Packaging systems by LUTZ – more than just a wrapper

There is hardly another product on the market with such a high level of safety awareness as blades. The greatest risk is obviously where end-users are at work with unprotected blades. This is where we see an urgent need for our own creativity to create packaging systems which meet two needs: to make the application as safe as possible for the worker and to promote sales of the product.
