Making tools efficient again

The high-precision and repeated regrinding of all cutting tools in Tool Management has been one of the most important factors for TCM to reduce tool costs from the very beginning. For this purpose, TCM operates several grinding centers worldwide, which are equipped with modern 5-axis CNC grinding machines as well as tool measuring devices of the latest generation. In this way, we can permanently guarantee our customers absolutely consistent quality in production.

Number 1 in Tool Grinding

TCM has been the first point of contact for tool supply for over 25 years. In addition to the Austrian
market, we also serve Slovenia, Croatia and Poland with tools for machining production.

In the world of machining, efficiency is the key to success.

The TCM Service Center offers comprehensive grinding and tool reconditioning services. The process comprises several stages, from incoming goods inspection to reconditioning and final inspection. In addition to grinding services, TCM also repairs PCD tools and manufactures new and special tools. One of TCM's particular strengths lies in the reconditioning of gear cutting tools. Thanks to minimal grinding removal, the service life of the tools is extended by up to 30%. Sustainability also plays a central role, as customers are supported in achieving their ESG goals through the reuse of tools. TCM works for various industries such as automotive, aerospace and e-mobility and ensures that remanufactured tools meet the highest quality standards and are often better than new.

Constructing, grinding, coating of special tools

TCM designs, grinds and continuously coats special tools to increase our customers' productivity. Using Cybergrinding technology, tools can be displayed and optimized on the computer immediately after programming. Many of these tools are developed, tested and optimized in combination with TCM design, TCM grinding center and AEC machining lab in-house until they are ready for series production.

The re-sharpening of the tools is carried out according to the original re-grinding instructions of the manufacturers or according to TCM re-grinding instructions, which are prepared by the respective TCM tool experts. As a result, we guarantee the same service life and processing results using the current cutting values compared to new tools.

Gear cutting tools

We are also happy to regrind your gear cutting tools, such as shaper and cutter wheels as well as hobs. With our modern machinery we can grind in quality AAA and also provide you with a corresponding measuring protocol. All edge preparations are carried out with the coating partners on request. Due to recent investments in our machinery, TCM can now also regrind all round broaches and flat broach segments to the highest precision.

rox

As part of TCM's decades of grinding experience, the "rox" grinding concept was developed and turned into reality at TCM's own grinding plant in Georgsberg near Stainz.

In 2013, "rox", including the local grinding shop, was sold to Oerlikon Balzers, which operates the site as an international "rox" training center. Precision tool grinding technicians from around the world are trained in the Technology Center to become "rox" team members.
