Nothing is impossible
This was the slogan of a well-known car manufacturer until it gradually became common parlance. Today, these words are often used to indicate that someone has accomplished something that seems almost impossible. Nothing is impossible is also the title of the article on page 42, which is about "Optimized chamfering of internal gears during the machining process", which opens up new possibilities in gear manufacturing.
In the course of e-mobility, transmissions have undergone massive changes in terms of design and tolerances. Here, as in medical technology, perfect surfaces are a challenge.
When the highest surface qualities in the micrometer range are required, grinding is often the method of choice, as the user reports in this issue show. They already give a small foretaste of the upcoming GrindingHub, the new hub of international grinding technology.
Making the impossible possible has always characterized users of precision tools as well as their manufacturers. Sometimes all it takes is a small spark to change the world of machining, as Horst Lach vividly describes in his review of the history of Lach Diamant.
If you take a closer look at the "Materials & Tools" section, you will see how diverse the possibilities are for finding the right cutting material and the perfect tool geometry for new, demanding machining tasks that were previously impossible to realize. These range from extremely hard CBN tools for machining brake discs to customized, extremely hard and wear-resistant diamond coatings for machining materials such as CFRP, graphite and aluminum alloys to ultra-hard PCD cutting materials for machining ceramic materials. In short, to make the impossible possible.
The journal of hp tooling is the brand-new global publication on all aspects of , and their .
