Composite processing for high speed in the food and pharmaceutical industries

In the production facilities of the food and pharmaceutical industries, materials with high carbon fiber content prove their worth every second, as do high-performance thermoplastics such as PEEK.

Where maximum travel speeds are the aim, as little mass as possible should be accelerated and decelerated. This makes the modern CFRP material, with its exceptional strength and low weight, the ideal material.

Hufschmied provides the tools to machine CFRP with precision: The tools have been developed for exact dimensional accuracy and excellent surface quality. Tools such as HEXA CUT® or T-REX deliver optimum results when milling fiber composites. Minimized process forces and process heat prevent delamination, fraying or fiber protrusions on the components. This makes the machining of these components reliable and economical.

Plastics, with their versatile properties, are predestined for a wide variety of applications in mechanical engineering.
They demonstrate their advantages over other materials in many environments. Plastics are the material of choice where lightweight, easy-to-clean and robust housings are required, where sterile contact with food is required and finally, where resistance to solvents, plasticizers or other chemicals is crucial.

For reliable and economical machining of plastics, however, special features must be taken into account. Hufschmied meets the special conditions with milling cutters that are optimally adapted to the materials. These dissipate the machining heat via the chips, for example, and thus also ensure high feed rates with optimum surface quality.

With tools from the Universal-Line as well as the Sharp-Line, Hufschmied offers tools ideally suited for burr-free and rework-free machining of thermoplastics. For elastomers such as rubber, latex or caoutchouc, which are very demanding in their machining, the tools of the Sharp-Line and Universal-Line are convincing. For the machining of thermosets, where the focus is on burr-free machining, quality of the cutting edge and high feed rates, the tools from the Universal-Line and the tools from the Proto-Line are ideal.

Machining packaging foam – ensuring that your products arrive safely

For monitors, sensitive electronics and many other valuable products, foams with foamed PU are the best solutions to pack and ship products safely. With Hufschmied Tools you achieve perfect results when roughing and finishing the material. With minimal cutting pressure, soft and medium-hard foams can be processed with the DFO tools of the Universal Line. For hard foams, carbon cutters with a high stock removal rate from the Fiber Line are suitable.

High machining quality, high feed rates and best tool life. The combination of these factors ensures not only the best safety for your products, but also particular cost-effectiveness. Up to a quantity of about 10,000 pieces, the production of foam parts with Hufschmied Tools is the most cost-effective solution for customized foam packaging.

 
Titanium materials are also being used more and more frequently for highly stressed machine components.

High-strength steels are used for tribologically abrasive components such as guides or control edges. Precise machining with long tool life is a very frequently requested process technology from Hufschmied due to the expertise from tool and mold making.
