Close-up
At VOLLMER, we take on even the most complex challenges in tool machining. A current example: a closed bell-shaped tool with roughing teeth, manufactured on our latest VLaser 370.
The tool is used in particular in automotive engineering and aerospace technology for machining aluminium and die-cast parts.
THE CHALLENGE
Tools of this type place the highest demands on:
- Initial situation – Four teeth without profile with a PKD plate thickness of 2 mm / diameter 52.176 mm / length 99.852 mm
- Closed geometry – difficult to access for processes such as wire EDM and impossible for disc EDM
- Roughing gear cutting – requires many compensating movements during machining
- Clamping – very short tool length and clamping depth
our solution: the VLaser 370
Thanks to our unique machine concept with machining directly at the pivot point, wear-free linear drives and direct clamping, the VLaser 370 masters these challenges with maximum precision and efficiency.

the result
- Processing time including measurement: only 1 hour and 48 minutes
- Outstanding surface quality
- Minimal tool wear
Maximum cost-effectiveness -
even with complex high-precision tools
The VLaser 370 sets new standards in the machining of PCD tools – for the most demanding requirements in all industries.
