Brake pioneer
With over 33,000 employees worldwide, today Knorr-Bremse is the global market and technology leader for braking systems and a leading supplier of other systems for rail and commercial vehicles.
The inventor who pulls the strings
"We pull all the strings," jokes André Gall. The founder of WireStyle creates works of art with his team from thousands of nails and a kilometre-long thread using machines developed in-house.
High-polish milling instead of polishing
An application from Germering in Bavaria shows that special machines are not required for milling high-polish plastic surfaces. The Enggruber company, in collaboration with Paul Horn GmbH, is crystal clear that this even works with conventional machines.
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.
