DEMGY improves composite milling with Jongen
In the latest issue of Machines & Production magazine, DEMGY Normandie is featured. This double-page spread illustrates our collaboration with tool manufacturer Jongen Uni Mill.
Enhancing Composite Machining: DEMGY’s Expertise in Action
Following an organizational change at our former supplier, we seized the opportunity to rethink our methods. The objective was clear: to find a more economical, sustainable, and above all, more efficient solution for machining our high-performance composites.
The old specialized tool we were using regularly caused jams and could even burn the material, resulting in:
- frequent production stoppages,
- high costs associated with poor quality,
- and constant monitoring of the machines by our operators.
These constraints limited our efficiency and made machining more complex and costly.
A Collaboration with Jongen Highlighted by Machines & Production
We therefore opted for Jongen's JMB11-83-PKD milling cutter, a two-tooth cutter with inserts. The results were convincing from the very first tests:
- 20% reduction in cycle times
- 40% increase in cutting speed
- Elimination of jamming
- Optimized tool life
A real leap forward for our productivity and the quality of our parts.
This change of supplier is not only a success for DEMGY Normandie. It has also enabled Jongen to strengthen its expertise in the machining of high-performance composites, a rapidly expanding market, particularly in the aerospace industry.
Together, we have built a relationship based on trust, exchange, and innovation.
