Application Stories
When theory becomes practice.
We use selected machining examples to demonstrate the use of
HORN tool solutions with our customers.
Precision from Allgäu
In Leutkirch in the Allgäu, the company zmtec produces everything from microcomponents to complex assemblies. The specialities include micro-turned parts from a diameter of 0.5 mm (0.020").

High-end connections for extreme requirements
The economical production of gas-tight threads requires a great deal of expertise and precise interaction between machine and tool. SMS group offers this combination using stable RMG coupling threading machines and tool systems from Paul Horn GmbH.
Down to the smallest detail
"Why don't we actually build motorbikes in France?" That's what Olivier Midy thought when he started the development of his own motorbike 30 years ago. Since the start, around 300,000 hours have gone into the development of his Midual Type 1.The inventor has built numerous technical specialities into the bike, paying attention to perfection down to the smallest detail.
High speed production of a precise bone screw
The company hg medical from Raisting in Upper Bavaria is considered one of the leading subcontract manufacturers of these special screws. To produce them, hg medical relies on Swiss-type lathes from Traub and whirling tools from HORN. In addition to conventional whirling, hg medical uses the high-speed whirling process.
Process reliability and economy
"By switching to gear skiving and investing in a turning/milling centre from INDEX, we have achieved maximum process reliability," says Erwin Wagner. Wagner is responsible for tool scheduling at SAM GmbH in Bad Tölz. The company is considered a specialist in the development and production of high-quality components for aircraft construction.
Swabian Precision Trilogy
Precision tools, accurate lathes and a deep understanding of how to use the two to achieve micron precision. This describes the cooperation between Paul Horn GmbH, the machine manufacturer INDEX and the contract manufacturer of precision turned parts, RICH Praezision.
