Widia Novo from Kennametal gets more features

Continually reinventing manufacturing processes, the Widia Novo digital planning system from Kennametal is getting new elements that enrich content and continue streamlining a machine shop’s production. Newly added to Novo are quoting modified drill sizes and improved search engine and channel connections.

In minutes, Novo can now supply quick quote turnarounds on modified standard solid drills, says Kennametal. Furthermore, the company is continuing to add internal support systems that make finding the right tool even simpler. Just specify what is required and Novo will quote it, complete with expected delivery times.

In further improvements, Kennametal has taken the ‘ranking’ function of ‘Novo Advise’, and applied it to the company’s ‘Product Search’ so that Novo can now rank hundreds of turning inserts by performance and value that fit a specified toolholder.
