MULTIFUNCTIONAL USABILITY

When it comes to CNC machine functions, HFT is similar to a Swiss pocket knife, i.e. it has multifunctional usability. We especially use it in our new machines because we want to control the breaking of chips with steel materials which are difficult to machine. Naturally HFT slightly increases the cycle time for the parts. However, significantly less downtimes and considerably less operating personnel for the machines with these materials more than compensate for this.

A huge success

We process many materials from silver alloys where the formation of very long chips has previously caused great problems. In this case, the conversion of a machine over to HFT was a huge success. There has been a considerable increase in output. We therefore have plans to retrofit all of our machines with HFT in the near future.

Increased process reliability

HFT has enabled us to more efficiently process long-chipping, tough materials such as copper in our company. This has enormously improved process reliability because work steps such as the removal of chips by workers before part pick-up have been completely eliminated. On the whole we are very satisfied and as a result have been able to create new resources.
