Ajax/CECO/Erie Press (A.C.E.)

Ajax/CECO/Erie Press (A.C.E.) knows forging equipment and parts. The merger of two century-old, highly regarded press manufacturers has transformed into North America’s largest and most versatile equipment supplier. A.C.E. would like to take this opportunity to thank their customers and employees for their loyalty for over 270 collective years of operation. What better way to give back to the #forging industry than to deliver custom solutions of high value, quality #Parts, #Equipment and #Service to their customers, optimizing the forging and forming industry segments.

Programs are offered within the customer’s budget and allows them to keep forging successfully: stocking and PM programs, OEM training and service. With the shortage of experienced and willing laborers, these programs, along with optional control upgrades, can enhance the new generation’s capabilities and increase understanding of how critical forging is to America’s strength and stability in the world. Let Ajax/CECO/Erie Press support you!

NTK Cutting Tools

NTK customers benefit from extended tool life, improved part surface finish and cost-saving solutions when running our Alumina-TiC black ceramic inserts. The highest quality selection of ceramic and CBN tools ensure high productivity in demanding steel mill and forge applications. HC2’s success led to newer grades to machine an array of workpiece materials. HC5, HC7 and ZC7 ceramics with unique grain structure are designed to machine hardened steels (50-62Rc) and effectively machine chilled or ductile iron rolls. ZC7 handles soft to hard turning applications. HC5 also performs well cutting powdered metal materials. ZC4 grade, with its fine grain structure, machines steel up to 70Rc and is ideal for finishing.

Implementation of RCGX103P8015 HC7 profiling a cast iron roll along a 27.6-inch LOC (at 650-800 SFM, feeding at .010-.015 IPR) through varied DOC resulted in more effective high-speed machining while also reducing tool costs for the customer with extended life per cutting edge.

Applications where CBN is the preferred tool, NTK’s multi-edge inserts are cost-effective solutions. To help customers tackle carbide roll machining, we apply our B30 or B99 inserts. Machining hardened materials where the insert encounters interruptions, NTK provides tooling solutions for various cutting conditions from B52, B5K, B36, B6K and B40 grades.
