But how can a supposedly fragile material like ceramic revolutionise the industry? This is precisely the question addressed by this trio of experts – BCE Special Ceramics GmbH, KRAMSKI GmbH and ZECHA Hartmetall Werkzeugfabrikation GmbH. Together, they are investigating innovative approaches to injection moulding toolmaking.

ZECHA’s IGUANA line of mill cutters in diverse application-specific versions is known for its specific processing of the cutting edges by means of laser technology (R = 1μm) and special cutting geometry that significantly reduce cutting forces during use.

Fast, accurate, and water-loving – these attributes aptly describe both the kingfisher bird and ZECHA’s new KINGFISHER line of tools. Based on the existing 455 series, the KINGFISHER line was developed especially for processing difficult-to-machine materials in the medical technology sector, where there is an interplay of new solid carbide substrate, innovative cooling systems, and a more stable basic geometry

Milling of graphite and other hard-brittle non-ferrous materials presents a special challenge due to exceptional characteristics. Nevertheless, graphite material is an established element in tool and mould making, as well as in medical technology, and has become indispensable.

Precision in a double pack: The µm-precise production partnership Precision in manufacturing doesn’t happen by chance: the µm only works when all components fit perfectly together! For machining centres, this includes zero-point clamping systems and the right vices, such as those from LANG Technik GmbH in Holzmaden.

As part of our commitment to environmental protection and species conservation with the beeswe.love project, the focus is on our own bee colony. Their importance as part of a complex ecosystem is particularly close to our hearts.

When a tool manufacturer’s portfolio always has the right precision tools available, it often opens doors to potential customers. ZECHA Hartmetall-Werkzeugfabrikation GmbH from Königsbach-Stein is expanding its tool range with micro-tools from ALFATOOL SA, a Swiss company, offering its customers and interested parties exclusive access to Swiss precision tools.

Stefan Zecha was elected chairman of the VDMA Precision Tools Association at its general meeting at Tegernsee. Gerhard Knienieder became Deputy Chairman.

For 55 years ZECHA Hartmetall-Werkzeugfabrikation GmbH has been synonymous for precision and quality in micro-machining, blanking and forming tools spanning a vast range of sectors.
