This is no simple task, as the housing has a number of radii that calls for a semi-wrap or even full wrap of the milling cutter. Due to thin-walled areas, clamping of the component is also difficult. This leads to vibrations during milling, which must be absorbed by the tool. The <a href=\"https:\/\/webshop.guehring.de\/en\/6736\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferre\">RF 100 Diver<\/a> has proven particularly successful for applications that require a high degree of flexibility.

And thanks to its special geometry, it even impresses under unstable conditions. This is because the unequal pitch reduces power consumption compared to conventional milling cutters and thus lowers vibrations.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; module_id=&#8221;3&#8243; module_class=&#8221;gue-row-vertical-aligned-content gue-row-2col-image-text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GUE_hochleistungsreibahle-hr500-alu.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Nahaufnahme einer Hochleistungsreibahle HR 500 AL&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Nahaufnahme einer Hochleistungsreibahle HR 500 AL&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]With these high chip volumes, it is also important that chips are cut as short as possible and transported away safely.

In terms of quality, too, the machined component is the clear leader, especially in terms of surface precision, the dimensional accuracy of the product, the tolerances of the holes and, ultimately, product functionality. For the customer, this means that significantly fewer products are rejected during quality control. \u201cWe are better all round \u2013 not only in terms of costs, but also in terms of quality,\u201d concludes Patrick Matysiak.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; module_class=&#8221;gue-row-vertical-aligned-content gue-row-2col-image-text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_1271_Online-scaled.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]The new solution is also better for the environment: The component no longer needs to be transported and shipped, as in-house production enables short transport routes. The Albstadt-based company is also independent of foreign markets and their pricing policies. \u201cAnd in the event of changes, we can immediately intervene in the process and react flexibly,\u201d says Matysiak happily.<\/p>\n<p>These successes also motivated the company to switch to machining for two other types of electric strike housing.
