High-quality carbide cutting tools are essential for CNC machines such as lathes and routers. Possehl France SAS knows this quite well, and has specialized in precisely stamping metal parts used in these tools for more than 45 years.
The stamping process involves running a strip, most often made of copper or a copper alloy, through a press by means of a feed reel and a take-up reel. Each strip is 75 microns to 1.5 millimeters thick, and it comes in rolls that weigh between 110 kilograms and 800 kilograms. A protective casing surrounds the press to limit noise and dust.
