Our Mission
We place a primary focus on quality assurance. At CERATIZIT Sacramento our quality management system concentrates on providing:
- Defect free cutting tool products and services
- Open communication with our customers in order to better understand their cutting tool product and service needs and expectations
- State-of-the-art manufacturing, process control and inspection equipment
- Employee training to maintain product quality
And most importantly, our goal is to satisfy customer requirements and expectations 100% of the time.
At CERATIZIT Sacramento, we specialize in high
performance solid carbide end mills in our
PROMAX Premier, PROMAX Premium and DESIGN-RITE XL end mill lines.
OUR GOALS
- Place a primary focus on quality assurance
- Manufacture defect free cutting tool products and services
- Employee training to maintain product quality
In order to obtain these goals we must strive to maintain the leading edge in manufacturing technology and processes. We do this through the use of:
- 40 CNC cutter-grinders, with support robotics, consisting of Walter-Grinder, Rollomatic, Anca, Excalibur and True-Tech.
- Machine software that is constantly updated ensuring the most current technology is utilized.
- Use of a central network tool program repository which ensures consistency between production lots.
- Design and engineering departments that are invested in CAD-CAM technology, and most notably, Walter-Grinder and Rollomatic simulation software that assists in the off-line design prototyping and programming of new standard and "special" (make to print) solid carbide cutting tools.
- Accurate measurement and quality control of precision cutting tools, including CERATIZIT Sacramento's advanced CNC Measuring Machines, Laser Micrometers, Optical Comparators and Video Microscopes to 400x power. This equipment provides our technicians and our inspection department to meet the customers' most stringent tolerances and other requirements on virtually any tool dimension.
In addition to the core precision cutting tool itself, we also take pride in the other elements that make PROMAX Premier, PROMAX Premium and DESIGN-RITE XL tools stand apart from the others:
