The VHybrid 360 can be used to machine solid carbide or PCD cutting tools in a single set-up.

Vollmer says the VHybrid 360 not only provides tool manufacturers with high efficiency for reduced machining times, but also maximum precision.

A wide range of automatic settings enable unmanned production around the clock and with the new Vollmer tool manager, users can manage the automatic switching of up to eight grinding or eroding wheels intuitively.

The VHybrid 360 can be used to produce different cutting tool types that are used for machining processes in the wood, metal or composite material sectors.

“Tool manufacturers today are often development partners for their customers and are involved in the tool planning phase from the outset in order to achieve efficient machining of a wide range of materials,” said Dr Stefan Brand, Vollmer Group chief executive officer.

“And whether carbide or diamond tools are required, the hybrid machining technologies in our VHybrid 360 enable precise machining of a variety of rotary tools, such as drills, milling cutters or reamers.”
