The range of applications of tool systems has grown, requiring further development and adaptation for today's machining operations.

The Horn Technology Days are back after four years and is going to be held from the 14th to the 16th of June 2023.

These are just three of the advantages that hard machining with a geometrically defined cutting edge can bring to the user. With a high level of know-how in tool technology, Paul Horn GmbH offers numerous tool solutions to economically machine steels harder than 56 HRC.

Outer diameters of 0.1 mm (0.004"), recesses of 0.5 mm (0.020") and feed rates of 5 µm (0.0002") – welcome to the world of micromachining! Screws for hearing aids, balance weights for automatic wristwatches or micro-turned parts for medical assemblies: Manufacturing such parts requires know-how, precise machines and special tools.

For producing gears with a deep profile, Paul Horn GmbH has further developed the WSR gear skiving system.

Tool systems manufactured by Paul Horn GmbH offer users the ability to design machining processes for high productivity and cost efficiency. Especially in tool and mould making, high feed milling can be used economically and productively. High performance milling is not only defined by high infeeds, but in high feed milling also by small infeeds coupled with high traverse speed of the cutter.

With the new RC2 and RC4 coatings, Paul Horn GmbH is exhibiting new developments in the field of high-performance tool coatings. The high toughness and hardness allow the machining of steels at high cutting speeds and lead to a significant increase in tool life.

When Paul Horn introduced the type 312 indexable insert to the public in 1972, it was a small revolution in the grooving process. Horn was the first manufacturer ever to develop a tool system with a vertically mounted, three edged carbide insert for grooving.

Groove milling, parting off and gear cutting: these are just three processes that the circular interpolation milling system from Paul Horn GmbH accomplishes productively.

Paul Horn GmbH is expanding its tool portfolio for machining hard materials and other steels. Tools tipped with cubic boron nitride (CBN) offer optimised machining of nickel-based and other superalloys as well as powder metallurgical and hardened steels.
