As you were browsing something about your browser made us think you were a bot. There are a few reasons this might happen:

Having successfully acquired a majority shareholding of Hitachi Tool Engineering Ltd and the subsequent renaming of the company as Mitsubishi-Hitachi Tool Engineering, Ltd the company has now announced that in future it will market its products under the name of Moldino. According to the company the new name represents technology that thoroughly applies in the service of people and goods, technology that values the accumulation of results and technology that brings marvels and smiles.

According to the announcement at the time production of carbide tools by Hitachi Tool became part of MMC’s Advanced Materials & Tools Division and the acquisition was expected to help MMC achieve a 10% share or higher of the global carbide tool market.

Hitachi Tool specialises in the production of carbide tools for a variety of difficult-to-cut materials and complicated shape products for power generation equipment, aerospace materials and other applications.

The Advanced Materials & Tools Business conducts its business in two primary categories; cemented carbide products and sintered parts. The cemented carbide products department provides an extensive lineup of cutting tools used in processes including lathe turning, milling, and drilling, as well as abrasion-resistant tools and construction tools.

A recent product announcement has been the launch of the new indexable milling tool TD4N, an extension of the proven range of high feed cutting tools. TD4N are the newly developed high-feed geometry and the double faced, 4 corner inserts for economic machining. The special cutting edge geometry optimises chip formation and minimises undesired residual material for subsequent operations. As a result the TD4N ensures a high process reliability with smooth machining, low costs per cutting edge and a long and stable tool life.
