Paul Horn GmbH is expanding the range of carbide grades for the DAH milling system to enable its use for machining a wider range of materials.

Following on from PCD parting-off tools, Horn also offers users PCD-tipped step drills. The tool system allows greater drilling precision and better surface quality thanks to the sharp cutting edges. It is designed for drilling, boring and countersinking in non-ferrous metals, such as for the production of aluminium wheels. The tools allow high cutting parameters during machining, which makes it possible to reduce the cost per component in series production, as well as the process time.

Drilling, reaming, grooving and milling: Paul Horn GmbH offers a wide portfolio of optimised tools for economical machining of this light metal.

Thereby responding to customer requests for different tooling system heights. The new Supermini Set will be presented for the first time at AMB 2022 in Stuttgart in Hall 1, Stand 1J10. With this holder variant, clamping is not carried out via the lateral surface of the cutting insert but via a clamping wedge on the face. This results in a greater holding force on the insert and thus high rigidity of the entire system.

Mirror-finish surfaces and roughness to within nanometres. These are properties that can only be achieved with the process of ultra-precision machining or high-polish machining.

"Every block of stone contains a sculpture and it is the sculptor's job to discover it," the famous Renaissance artist Michelangelo once said. If the artist had traded in his hammer and chisel for today's modern five-axis machining centres and precision tools, we would be able to marvel at countless statues by the Italian sculptor today.

The whirling method was invented by the German Karl Burgs­müller in 1942 and 80 years later, manufacturing industry still relies on the process as it offers significant advantages over conventional threading methods.

Paul Horn GmbH and DMG MORI have launched a campaign covering these three core areas in gear cutting to demonstrate the high performance of the solutions that have been jointly developed through a combination of machine, cycle and tool. A major advantage is that many existing machines can be adapted to the individual processes.

More than a century ago, Wilhelm von Pittler filed a patent for gear skiving, which in 1910 was a revolutionary idea.

Paul Horn GmbH has extended its circular interpolation system for slot milling of grooves.
