Bert de Veer mentions that the initial Hembrug hard turning machines were delivered to customers from tool making and mould making, where they were used for the production of PET bottles: "To this day, not only injection moulding tools for preforms are turned on our machines but also the moulds for closures, including threads. In the meantime, the company can boast several examples of this. "In order to implement high quality, precise hard turning, we developed machines of a particularly high degree of stability, as the forces generated during hard turning are enormous, and precision in the micron range is otherwise unachievable." With many years of engineering experience in turning machines with hydrostatic bearings, Hembrug conquered the niche market of hard turning and developed the technology into a full-fledged alternative to circular grinding as a precision finishing process.

"At that time, new tool materials were available for the first time that made the machining of hardened steels possible", recalls the Head of Design Bert de Veer. Originally involved in the field of ultra-precision turning machines, since the beginning of the 1990s, this family-owned company has focused on hard turning. Hembrug Machine Tools from the Dutch town of Haarlem is a former public enterprise, that was privatised in 1983. FANUC, a partner on the drive and control side, equips these machines, depending upon specifications, with the CNC series 0 i-D and 32 i. Hembrug, one of the pioneers of this technology, has now almost exclusively specialised in fast ultra-precision hard turning technology and offers machines up to work piece diameters of 1500 mm.


Hard turning has established itself as an economical alternative to circular grinding.
