ITC Show New Products at FESPA 2013

9 April 2013

At this year's FESPA exhibition, Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC) will once again be launching a number of new innovations from its Stand A3S. As a market leading supplier of high quality cutting tool solutions to the Sign Industry, ITC has continued its relentless development of new products throughout 2012 and the fruits of this can be witnessed first-hand at the show.

With a UK based manufacturing and R&D facility, ITC has built an enviable reputation for servicing the UK sign industry with the most dynamic tooling solutions available. At the 2013 FESPA show, ITC will be showcasing new innovations such as a new coating for the established 3061 Series for machining stainless steel and similar exotic materials, the extension of the market leading 180 Series of cutters and the 4071 Series of cutters for the machining and chamfering of foamex, plastic wood, MDF and additional abrasive materials.

Other new product developments that will be on show include the new 2041 Series. This incorporates an innovative geometry with enhanced wiper flats and polished flutes that improve swarf clearance, especially when conducting pocketing operations on acrylic, aluminium and wood. The result is exceptional surface finishes and the elimination of scouring type marks. For the customer, this reduces the requirement for secondary hand finishing operations and the consequent time and labour requirement. Other products on show will include the addition of 3 flute cutters to the 2091 Series of Up and Downcut tools and the 2121 Series of extra long cutters for machining difficult to reach surfaces.

Complementing the existing range, the new products ensure ITC will continue to provide the market with the leading solutions for issues such as de-laminating, excessive burrs, poor surface finishes and the ability to eliminate hand finishing in many instances.

Leading the market in the provision of solutions, the ITC team is always listening to customers and keeping abreast of market trends. The latest trend noted by ITC is the import of cheap aluminium composite materials. This creates issues with tool life and surface finishes for end users. As the signmaking market is put under increasing price pressure by its customers, small sign making businesses are increasingly using low cost Asian aluminium composites.

The use of low quality alloys is seeing more manufacturers witnessing low tool life, poor surface finishes and increasing production times. At FESPA 2013, ITC will be demonstrating a range of products to overcome this issue.
