Blades for the textile and carpet industry
by LUTZ BLADES
Clean cuts
With high efficiencyThe cutting processes in the textile and carpet industry not only require enormous efficiency, but also have to meet the highest quality standards - regardless of whether they involve the production of textile floor coverings or the cutting of technical and medical textiles.
With our know-how and experience, we have been equipping numerous market-leading double weaving mills and manufacturers of technical textiles with hook blades, plush knives, cant knives and special blades for many years.
How you benefit
of LUTZ BLADES blades and knives for carpet and textile production:- Many years of experience in the production of industrial 3-hole blades
- Absolutely consistent quality from blade to blade for successful set use
- Hard coatings significantly extend the life of the blades
- Cleanroom-suitable packaging - also available in customer presentation
- Industrial grade packaging for safe and quick use of the blades on site
How to draw
our blades and knives for carpet and textile manufacturing:- Wide range of materials
- Extremely sharp and uniformly ground cutting edges
- Uncoated and Teflon-coated versions (e.g. for plush knives)
- Hardness grades and cutting radii matched to the application
- Tightest tolerances for blade geometry and cutting edge
The wide range of materials
for our bladesOur product portfolio offers you blades in thicknesses between 0.06 - 3.0 mm and with final hardnesses between 40 - 85 HRc. You also have a wide choice in our material program:
- Carbon steels
- Rust resistant and stainless steels
- High-performance high-speed steels (HSS)
- Tool steels
- Hard metals
- Ceramics
The versatile coating program
for our blades
TiN
Standard hard material with high wear resistance and relatively high coefficient of friction (against reference material steel approx. 0.4 to 0.7), usually gold-colored, safe application range up to approx. 300 °C.
TiC
Has lower wear resistance than TiN with significantly lower coefficient of friction (against reference material steel approx. 0.3 to 0.5), usually anthracite colored.
TiCN
Intermediate coating material between the high wear resistance of TiN and the low coefficient of friction of TiC, relative position between TiN and TiC depending on the ratio of C and N, usually anthracite color.
TiAlN
Has greater oxidation resistance than TiN with comparable coefficient of friction, usually anthracite blue.
ZrN
With a wear resistance similar to TiN, but denser structure (morphology) than TiN and thus greater resistance to pitting under appropriate load, usually steel colored.
DLC
Has high wear resistance with low coefficient of friction (approx. 0.1 against reference material steel); susceptible to impact loads and high temperatures (between 100 and 300 °C depending on structure).
CrN
Has lower wear resistance than TiN. Advantage of CrN: lower residual stresses than TiN. Therefore partially useful for applications with high bending load.
Teflon® (PTFE)
Teflon® non-stick coating (PTFE); due to the very low surface tension, practically no foreign bodies stick to the cutting edge, resistant to acids and alkalis; significantly reduced frictional resistance; the very low static friction allows jerk-free cutting (therefore very suitable for the medical sector); low wear resistance; not suitable for contact with sodium and at temperatures above 250 °C.
Color varnish
Applied over the entire surface, serves as a sorting aid for different material thicknesses and as corrosion protection.
Blueing / Blackening
Applied over the entire surface, light corrosion and starch protection, also serves as a distinguishing aid.
Customized quality
The LUTZ BLADES Rapid Prototyping
Do you need a blade that is tailored to your individual cutting process? Which, even if produced in small quantities, has a near-series quality? Our development department has the right answer to these questions: prototype production by LUTZ BLADES.
How you benefit
by LUTZ BLADES Rapid Prototyping:- Near-series initial samples
