Today, Hufschmied is the German full-range supplier for the highly efficient machining of all important materials in tool and mold making. Intelligent process control, high-precision manufacturing with 100% end-measured tools, even for hard metals, and patented cutting-edge geometries can reduce machining times by up to 50%. This makes it possible to efficiently achieve short machining cycles with long tool life and smooth, burr-free components in series production.

Through continuous dialog with universities and our intensive tool development, we have laid the foundations for first-class precision tools. You will find the right tool for every machining task at Hufschmied. Four specialized product lines are available today:

■ Graphite-Line
■ Hard-Line
■ Proto-Line
■ Copper-Line

Graphite machining application example

Substrate, geometry and coating design are critical to tool productivity and performance. Our Graftor® is equipped with the DIP® nanocrystalline diamond coating patented for Hufschmied for cost-effective graphite machining – all geometries are optimized for graphite.

The performance and advantages of the Graftor®

■ Special tip geometry for extremely high feed rates with very good surface finishes
■ Special tip geometry for extremely high feed rates with very good surface finishes
■ Only one tool for roughing and finishing without tool changes
■ Nanocrystalline diamond coating® for maximum tool life

Steel machining application example:
High-performance tools for hardened steel up to 72 HRC

Hard milling also plays an increasingly important role in tool and die making. Hard milling offers great potential for supplementing process chains and can even completely replace certain work steps. However, when machining very hard special materials, the tool used is very important.

Here, Hufschmied offers you the Graphite and Hard-Line in three precision variants:
■ Robo-Line for highest precision and quality
■ Business-Line for standard precision and quality
■ Eco-Line for particularly cost-effective milling processes

Accuracy and surface quality are particularly important in tool and mold making. Especially when milling narrow, deep contours and cavities, the demands on the milling tool are high.

Machining vehicle interiors –
with Hufschmied to appealing results

Hufschmied has special HSC (High Speed Cutting) milling cutters in its range for use in automotive interiors, for example for decorative components, light guides and head-up displays. These material-related cutting tools from the Sharp-Line are ideal for high gloss as well as the machining of soft plastics or soft aluminum on high-speed machining centers, such as those used in the production of interior components.

For machining hard steels, Hufschmied has developed Hard-Line tools. The diameters of these drills and milling cutters range from 0.5 millimeters for the ball and torus cutters as mini-milling cutters, to the large multi-bladed cutters for cutting tool construction up to a diameter of 20 millimeters. This enables you to achieve machining results of convincing quality for components with a wide range of geometries.
