Mold and tool manufacturing
![<p>At Dohlen & Krott Werkzeugbau in Baesweiler, Germany, the focus is on highly complex, predominantly hardened injection molded parts. Although a full 5-axis machine was available for milling these parts, achieving the required precision was a challenge. After intensive benchmarking, the decision was made to opt for the <a href="t3://page?uid=132">VERSA 645 linear</a> machining center from Fehlmann. This decision proved to be a good one, as the parts are now produced much faster and with greater precision. </p> Trouble-free production results in higher precision and a better surface finish](/fileadmin/_processed_/b/c/csm_k-Fehlmann_Dohlen_Krott__13__9fe3552c53.jpg)

![<p>WESKO GmbH - A machine should be replaced due to its age and, in a further step, capacities increased with a larger machine. Also, the product range should be improved upwards. WESKO in Stollberg/Germany opted in favor of the Fehlmann VERSA 645 linear 5-axis machining center and, 12 months later, the Fehlmann VERSA 825. The list of requirements for these investments was long. The decisive factor for increased flexibility was the combination of a small and a large machine, together with an automation solution.</p> A unique combination of machining centers are convincing in terms of flexibility and precision](/fileadmin/_processed_/1/9/csm_k-Fehlmann_Wesko__56__af39c10494.jpg)

![<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rauh + Kettner GmbH - Suitable tool changers, fixtures and improvised automation for milling were already available. But when the company Rauh + Kettner, in the Franconian town of Zirndorf, was due to invest in a new milling machine, they decided to take a big step in terms of automation. In 2019, the company decided to purchase the VERSA 825 machining center from Fehlmann, including an Erowa Easy 250 robot. The machine cell has now been able to convince the decision-makers, thanks to achieving the desired output and contributing significantly to cost savings with its high level of precision</p> Supreme in precision and peripherals](/fileadmin/_processed_/2/5/csm_k-Fehlman_Rauh_Kettner__8__46f3c5a51e.jpg)

![<p><strong>Swiss-Made: Manufacturing technology project of the future</strong> <br /> Rychiger AG invested in the future of production technology with a self-sufficient production island. A network of two Fehlmann Versa 825 with workpiece and tool storage, an integrated measuring machine and a washing system ensures low-manpower production of very small series. Hard milling and grinding processes are part of the manufacturing solution. Rychiger AG is re-orienting its parts production strategy with this machining cell - supplying spare parts and key components, while developing new components that possess the required technological competence, vertical manufacturing range and flexibility. <br /> </p> In-house production made possible with flexible production islands](/fileadmin/_processed_/2/6/csm_k-B01_MG_1145_51c599e4e8.jpg)
