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").

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.

Whirling for excellent sound quality
Music makes people happy one moment and can bring them to tears the next. It can help drive people to peak performance in sports, or make them anxious. But one thing that music never does is leave you cold.
Large dimensions with small teeth
High concentration is required. Rejects when setting and running in components is a normal process in almost every production: call up the programme, manufacture the part, measure, correct, manufacture a new part - until it fits. This is different in the machining of large parts. Here, the machine operators carefully feel their way to the final dimension to be produced.
High quality diamonds for a brilliant result
“We branched out into the sectors that others had avoided”, says company founder Walter Schumacher. Together with his son, Stefan, he runs the company Walter Schumacher Impuls Technik GmbH, (SIT). The company specialises in the development and production of special valves and stand-alone valve solutions, which are used in numerous industries.
