Application Stories
When theory becomes practice.
We use selected machining examples to demonstrate the use of
HORN tool solutions with our customers.
Emotions and craftmanship
With his company EBG-Instruments, hMarc Locher is breaking new ground, but also holding on to old traditions. For a current project, a Telecaster, 3D printed parts made of titanium and CVD diamond cutters are being used. Locher received support from Paul Horn GmbH for this project.
Further Application Stories
Micro screws for the watch industry
Aeschlimann relies on the Horn µ-Finish tool system for sliding-head turning of watch screws. Micromachinists are the main target market for this range of tools, which is based on the S274 system.
Chip control and micro-precision
For boring, the company RICH Praezision GmbH relies on the new generation of Horn Superminis with sintered chip breaking geometry. “With the new inserts, all chip problems during boring have virtually disappeared into thin air,” says Gottfried Rich.
A long partnership
"Shortly after I started here at the company, I began my partnership with Horn as a tool supplier," says Knott. Since then, numerous systems from the Tübingen-based tool specialist have been used in his production.
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.

Seals for the global market
The Prädifa Technology Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation is a leader in the development and production of sealing solutions. The site in Boom, Belgium, specialises in seals made from machinable materials such as PTFE. The specialists rely on tool solutions from Paul Horn GmbH for machining.
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.
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.
