But how can a supposedly fragile material like ceramic revolutionise the industry? This is precisely the question addressed by this trio of experts – BCE Special Ceramics GmbH, KRAMSKI GmbH and
ZECHA Hartmetall Werkzeugfabrikation GmbH. Together, they are investigating innovative
approaches to injection moulding toolmaking.

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.

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

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.

Precision in a double pack: The µm-precise production partnership

Precision in manufacturing doesn’t happen by chance: the µm only works when all components fit perfectly together! For machining centres, this includes zero-point clamping systems and the right vices, such as those from LANG Technik GmbH in Holzmaden.

As part of our commitment to environmental protection and species conservation with the beeswe.love project, the focus is on our own bee colony. Their importance as part of a complex ecosystem is particularly close to our hearts.

When a tool manufacturer’s portfolio always has the right precision tools available, it often opens doors to potential customers.

ZECHA Hartmetall-Werkzeugfabrikation GmbH from Königsbach-Stein is expanding its tool range with micro-tools from ALFATOOL SA, a Swiss company, offering its customers and interested parties exclusive access to Swiss precision tools.

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.

24-hour delivery: Made possible through regional proximity and a close, long-term partnershiph
With an impressive company history spanning more than three decades, KLEINER GmbH has established its name in the field of advanced stamping technology.

A special year lies ahead of us: six decades have passed since the doors of ZECHA first opened. Reaching this anniversary marks a significant milestone in our company’s history, because the past six decades have made us what we are today.

In recent decades, there has been fundamental change in the world of ceramic materials. The variety of different compositions influence the properties of ceramics depending on their intended use.

Consistently high quality and maximum flexibility aren’t only key features in mould making. Maintaining maximum efficiency means you have to use high performance, high-end tools.

The production of injection molds for medical technology is increasingly in focus due to the current situation. Globally, the demand for medical products is growing rapidly.

At the end of 2021, Zecha Hartmetall-Werkzeugfabrikation GmbH and AlienTools GmbH went live for the first time in their histories to find the following out: “How long can our IGUANA tool run?“

The Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labor, and Housing annually awards the Innovation Prize of the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg (Dr. Rudolf Eberle Prize) for special innovative achievements by medium-sized companies.

Dependable, efficient, QUEEN BEE: With this new tool family, ZECHA Hartmetall-Werkzeugfabrikation GmbH has taken a major step towards process reliability.

Tool manufacturer ZECHA Hartmetall-Werkzeugfabrikation GmbH has shown just how far precision can be taken with lettering milled into a human hair.

Competition in the tool and mould making industry is strong. This makes valuable partnerships all the more important, especially for medium-sized companies.

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.
