Tools Success Story
Automated cutting edge optimisation of stamping and forming tools.
The challenge facing the OTEC team of experts was to find an automated solution that delivers consistently high-precision results for the stamping and forming machines of the renowned machine manufacturer Bihler. Optimum cutting edge rounding and a high-gloss polish on surfaces of the most varied tools made of hard metal or hardened steel are achieved in just one step using the OTEC machines. This ensures the long service life of tools and significantly reduces production costs.
Consistent high performance quality with measurable success
For the tool industry, achieving the best possible product quality and increasing efficiency in the manufacture of stamping and bending parts are crucial for maintaining a competitive edge in the market. For the success story of Otto Bihler Maschinenfabrik, in particular, this means optimal cutting edge rounding of 10-20 µm and a high-gloss polish on the outer surfaces with a surface roughness of up to Ra 0.02 µm for cutting punches and dies.
