NEWS FROM ZECHA

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.

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

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.

The current humanitarian and economic situation as well as the uncertain further developments occasioned by the new respiratory virus SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19, is also a matter of concern for ZECHA.

The precision requirements made on tools rise almost on a daily basis – the need is for even higher tool service lives, even higher precision and even better surface qualities.

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.

Embracing the motto "working better together" our management team decided to take us on a professional exchange event on 17th/18th May 2019 to Plaffeien in Switzerland, in fact, Schwarzsee to be precise.

ZECHA Hartmetall-Werkzeugfabrikation GmbH has always been involved in the development of micro-precision tools of the highest level. The high-end mill cutter line IGUANA sees it making an evolutionary step in the diamond coated hard metal tool segment.

Whe tried-and-tested PEACOCK mill cutters from ZECHA Hartmetall-Werkzeugfabrikation GmbH are the go-to tools for achieving fine contours in the HSC processing of highly alloyed and hardened steel up to 67 HRC.

The key to a flexible, simple and swift ordering process.

More possibilities, more overview, more ZECHA: ZECHA Hartmetall-Werkzeugfabrikation GmbH has broadened its customer service by adding its very own web shop aimed at providing improved support to customers in the optimisation of their processes and at facilitating perfect order placement.

Graphite or copper? – Engineering, improvements and innovations keep the electrode manufacture in an ongoing process change. Over the past few years, the trend has been towards copper where spark erosion is concerned.
