micromachining to functionalize surfaces using MHP in production

• precision manufacturing of steel parts via machine hammer peening
• specific manipulation of roughness, smoothness, micro-geometry and hardness as well as the magnetic, thermal, electrical, and chemical properties of surfaces  
• in an automated machining process, integrable into existing process chains - without reclamping the workpiece
• applicable in all common machining centers
• substitution of thermal hardening processes
• -considerable extension of tool life - e.g.: up to 50% for injection molds
• partial substitution of manual polishing processes
•  invisible 3-dimensional magnetic coding possibility for components

Innovation level

• unique drive system of the peening head, which enables the control and monitoring of the entire mechanical surface treatment process in-line
• the highly dynamic short-stroke linear reluctance motor allows each individual stroke of the hammer to be precisely adjusted and controlled
• acceleration values of conventional systems are exceeded by a factor of ten and more
• damping of the rebound forces to protect components of the machining center
• patent protection available
• premiere at Hannover Messe

Target audience and applications

• metal processing industry, businesses and service providers
• automotive and aerospace industry, medical metall implants
• manufacturers of machining tools, construction machinery, and plants
• tool and mold making
• microstructuring
