Leitz, the leading manufacturer of tools for the professional processing of solid wood and wood derived materials, has a unique accumulation of knowledge over generations about its tools and the respective types of machining.

This valuable information is now available to everyone in the LeitzXPert app, an innovative digital product based on the company‘s extensive knowledge. Their users are provided with all the important information about the Leitz tool they are currently using.

Launched in 2019 as a prototype and part of a study, 4 years later the LeitzXpert app has matured into a full-fledged and easy-to-use information platform. It contains valuable processing and tool expertise, user information, operating instructions or product descriptions for almost every product from the world market leader’s standard range.

For users of Leitz products, this means they can access it from anywhere in the world, free of charge!

The tool identification itself takes place either with the manual entry of the product ID, with the help of an RFID reader, or by means of a QR or barcode. With the input confirmation, all available information is immediately available to the user.

Dimensions, material suitability, machine suitability, spare parts - simply everything the user’s heart desires. And for all those who use the app frequently,  information on tools that have already been searched for can be found in the tool history in no time at all.

Another advantage of the LeitzXpert app is the included calculation programs for woodworking. With this feature, important tool data such as cutting speed, tooth feed, rotational speed or feed rate can be calculated precisely in the shortest possible time. It is also possible to compare several results with different parameters.

The app offers another useful feature: with the help of the integrated LeitzXpress function, users can quickly and easily contact the service driver or technical advisor responsible for them or request a callback.

The application is now available both as an app for mobile devices in the major app stores and as a browser application via the Leitz homepage.
