We combine our services and processes under one roof.

Milling removes material from the blank by rotating the milling tool around its axis at high speed and removing chips. Milling is particularly suitable for the production of components with multi-sided machining.

We use the Hypermill CAM software to create all the programmes for our milling machines. Even the most complex products can be programmed and produced without significant complications.

Erosion is used to machine rigid and soft materials. Erosion can realise the most complicated geometries.

Erosion is carried out by removing conductive material with an electrode through electrothermal discharge processes. In this way, the most complicated geometries can be produced with the highest precision and materials that are difficult or impossible to machine, such as hard metal, can be machined.

Unlike milling, in turning, the workpiece rotates around its axis while the tool traverses the contour to be produced. Therefore, the process is suitable for making rotationally symmetrical parts such as shafts, axles or screws.

With our new precision hard turning machine Hembrug - Mikroturn 100, we were able to relieve our cylindrical grinding department and adapt our turning shop to the precision level of the remaining departments.

We can machine any carbide, regardless of its composition. As a powder metallurgical composite of carbides and binder metals, carbide has excellent capabilities such as extreme hardness, high toughness and high resistance to mechanical, thermal and abrasive wear.

Tungsten (WC) is usually used as a rigid material (carbide). The choice of the appropriate binder material (cobalt or nickel) and the addition of other metallic substances such as chromium influence the material in terms of its corrosion resistance.

By choosing the binder content and grain size, properties such as hardness and toughness can be influenced to design a component for the application optimally. Due to these favourable properties, carbide is often used for turning and milling tools and stamping and forming technology.

This material offers unique properties such as extreme heat and wear resistance. It is also non-conductive and is increasingly used in toolmaking, mechanical engineering and the electrical industry. Ceramics are also frequently used wherever exceptional purity is required from the materials used - such as in the food industry and medical technology.

For this material, too, there is a wide variety of types that we can process. These include oxide ceramics such as aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2), non-oxide ceramics such as silicon nitride ceramics (Si3N4) and silicon carbide ceramics (SiSIC /SSiC) as well as particular types such as cermet and macor.

There is no way around steel as the great classic among materials. We process all standard tool steels up to titanium and difficult-to-machine special steels such as ferro-titanite. Powder-metallurgical steels are also being used more and more frequently in toolmaking.

Compared to steels produced conventionally, these steels have a more homogeneous structure - they are free of inclusions and thus meet the highest requirements for wear resistance, toughness and compressive strength. In addition, much higher hardnesses of up to 70 HRC can usually be achieved.

In terms of base metals, our processing spectrum ranges from structural steels, nitriding and case hardening steels to classic tool steels such as 1.2379 and 1.2842 and high-speed steels (HSS = High-Speed Steel).

Non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper, bronze and brass are also part of our portfolio. Among the various materials, they stand out due to their remarkably versatile applicability in the entire field of mechanical engineering.

Aluminium shines particularly brightly in this respect. This is because the most commonly used non-ferrous metal is always favoured when low weight is required, and the manufactured part is only subject to low wear.
