Your requirements and applications

You need tools to grind and polish hard to reach surfaces? Your surfaces are so fine that they need to be treated with special sensitivity? We produce all kinds of sizes, shapes and materials. And if there is no matching tool for your individual requirements, our research department will develop it at the highest technological level. 

ARTIFEX tools speed up your manufacturing processes and increase the cost effectiveness of your production. Whether primary work like deburring, descaling or deoxidising, or superfine applications like satin finishing, high-gloss polishing and superfinishing – our products are as flexible in application as your requirements are individual.

  • Cutting edge preparation K-Land

    In cooperation with Rothenaicher Schleifwerkzeuge, we achieved a breakthrough combining super-abrasive tool with unique grinding and polishing capabilities. The two recently developed grinding wheel bondings now enable a highly process-reliable grinding of main cutting edge corrections such as K-Land, as well as the increasingly important step correction for drills.... read more

  • Ultrafine surface finishing

    Ultrafine surface finishing with target Ra roughness values of less than < 0.04 µm with our Series ARTIFEX MFP
    In cooperation with the company InduGrind GmbH from Bochum, we managed to achieve the roughness of < 0.04 µm required by the customer and thus the desired surface quality... Application report

  • Polishing on hard metal

    We have developed a new rubber bonding system that is able to hold diamonds perfectly inside the rubber. These new tools allow an automation of manual processes for example with a robot or inside a CNC machining center... read more

  • Deburring and polishing of medical instruments

    Perfectly polished surfaces make sterilization of the instruments a lot easier. Edges and blades without burrs ensure a good performance. read more
