on the tool being built. The sequence of opera-tions in the follow-on composite tool also plays a role. This knowledge and skill of the Feintool polymechanics results in the showpiece of fi ne blanking technology: The tool design, which al-lows even complex parts to be manufactured in large series and ready for use in a single pass.

Feintool: From the garage to pole positionGarage stories are not limited to Silicone Valley. When toolmaker Fritz Bösch laid the cornerstone for his company in a garage with 3 em-ployees in 1959, he probably – in spite of all his audacity – never imag-ined that it would develop into a global player and technology leader with 80% of the global market share for fi ne blank presses in just half a century.

The heart: Fine blanking and forming The rather complex structure of the Feintool Group can be traced back to the core compe-tencies of fi ne blanking and forming from any perspective. The “fi ne” difference compared to other processes such as stamping, pressing and sintering is that the technology offered by Fein-tool produces high-precision work pieces in sheet thicknesses of 1–16 mm, ready for installation, in a single press stroke. The resulting elimination of post-processing operations is the key element in comparative cost calculations for such compo-nents.

The key to success The technology is backed up by 50 years of con-sistent research and development in the com-pany research centre in Lyss or in cooperation with universities of applied sciences and techni-cal colleges in Switzerland and around the world. Everything revolves around the three parameters of cutting force, vee-ring force and counterforce – and many variables depending on the area of application of the work piece. Simulation pro-grammes (virtual prototyping) are becoming more and more important, calculating the forces generated during forming and cutting and pro-viding the designer or engineer with information

The heartbeat of Feintool technology: Tool construction in the Lyss technology centre

Standard parts: Well in the running at the 10-year markIn over 130 years of Brütsch/Rüegger company history, we have another anniversary to celebrate: The standard parts competency centre is looking back on ten years since its founding. Our cover photo was chosen with care: As we head into our next decade, we are well in the running and actually leading the pack as regards to our ability to deliver as well as the extent of our product range with 30,000 items. We intend to keep up the pace with our team of certifi ed experts. Suc-cess comes as a team; there are no individual medals in a relay race.

Mould construction and stamping technology: Quality fi rst!

Over the course of the last ten years, we have con-tinuously expanded our product range and made it even more attractive. New names were added to the list of proven suppliers, for example TALKOB®

, a manufacturer of safety couplings and hoses. We also offer skilled support by our standard parts specialists, all of whom are trained toolmakers or machine engineers. They form a competency cen-tre that is unique in Switzerland. Their technical knowledge covers all conceivable applications in mould construction and stamping technology as well as machine and apparatus construction. Special parts: No problem! We prepare special parts from CAD fi les or draw-ings, producing them in superior quality, on time and at attractive prices in conjunction with expe-rienced production partners.

The step to new customers with existing products…

As a result of optimising our standard parts prod-uct range, our products also became popular in other industries. For example, high-precision guide elements are also used in the semiconduc-tor industry, valve technology, and the chemical industry in addition to tool and mould construc-tion. Thanks to the cross-industry expertise of our team, we were able to utilise existing know-how and maintain high-quality consulting services.

…and the step to existing customers with new products

In order to reduce procurement process costs, it is in the best interest of the customer to or-der the largest possible number of components with little effort from a few, high-performance suppliers. This is why we purposefully expanded our product range: We are the fi rst Swiss trading partner to keep a large selection of FESTO pneu-matic components in stock. Order by 5:30 pm in the Toolshop www.brw.ch, and you will have the product in your facility the next day! New at Brütsch/Rüegger Tools, you will now fi nd the as-sembly technology product range. From simple screws to locking devices, from locking pins to balls, we can supply everything overnight. Ideally with your tools and standard parts order, so syn-ergy effects are fully utilised.

Brütsch/Rüegger standard parts team: Well on our way after the first ten years

Logic in the process chain The structure of the Feintool segments of fi ne blanking / forming, system parts, auto-mation and plastic / metal components really does make sense: High-precision multi-func-tion parts are produced in modern fi ne blank-ing presses with the core tool. These parts can be supplied individually, or combined into assemblies or end products using automatic assembly equipment also offered by Feintool.The production facilities for all of these steps are located around the world. Focal points include automobile industry centres in the USA, Japan, Europe and – sooner or later – in China, India or Mexico.

Feintool is along for the ride The main market for Feintool technology and services is the global automobile industry. But more and more customers from the electron-ics industry, telecommunication and even the medical industry are recognising the advantages of fi ne blanking technology for their products. So the future looks bright for the listed Feintool group, with more than 1900 employees around the world (of which 360 are in Lyss). A tour of the technology centre and parts production in Lyss says it all: As long as we have companies like this, there is no need to worry about economic activ-ity in Switzerland in the foreseeable future!

Clear procurement strategy Even though the interface to the internal ERP system has not been implemented yet, those in charge of purchasing for the Lyss technology centre are taking advantage of the features of-fered by the Brütsch/Rüegger Tools Toolshop at www.brw.ch. The purchasing structure is mod-elled down to the cost centre level, shopping lists have been prepared for items needed on a regular basis, the “user” in operations or at the machine has the necessary authority and is freed from time-consuming administrative tasks. This results in a noticeable decrease in procurement process costs, which gives purchasers more room for strategic procurement. Feintool employees exhibit environmental responsibility by placing weekly orders so as to minimise transportation and packaging.

Reliable connections for injection moulding:Talkob® couplings“NOVENTA turns good ideas into successful prod-ucts.” Noventa Engineering AG with its registered offi ce in Diepoldsau considers itself an “outsourc-ing service provider”. With approximately 200 employees, Noventa devel-ops, designs and produces functional components and complete product systems based on customer requests. Examples include soap and towel dis-pensers from CWS, showers and toilets from Ge-berit or sewing machine housings from Bernina.Visit www.noventa.com for further information. Noventa has been equipping all of its injection moulds exclusively with our Talkob® Safe Lock™ safety couplings for quite some time.

This resulted in enhanced safety in the production process. The risk of injury was practically elimi-nated, since the couplings cannot be accidentally opened under pressure – a mistake that would have disastrous consequences at water temperatures up to 120° Celsius. Oil and water-resistant Talkob® quick-connect cou-plings are durable products at affordable prices. And we also supply the matching hose of outstand-ing quality! Talkob® products from Brütsch/Rüegger Tools – where safety, reliability and performance is in de-mand! More information at www.brw.ch.

Top-performance milling: FUTURO HPC-PRO

Due to increasing cost pressure, manufactur-ers require high-performance cutting tools with optimum durability, high chipping volume and the least possible amount of machine downtime. We came up with the new line of FUTURO HPC-PRO cutters for our customers in order to meet these requirements.This product line includes top-performance rough-ing and fi nishing cutters. Cut full grooves up to1 x D with incredible productivity, and then fi nish them with the very same tool! This eliminates the need to change tools for fi nishing. High-quality car-bide combines the advantages of wear resistance and durability while covering a wide range of applications. Thanks to the unequal pitch of the blades, vibrations are reduced to a minimum. The

special core geometry also prevents cutter defl ec-tion. This is especially advantageous when cutting full grooves. In addition to top performance, these cutters also come at a sensational price: This month, BRW 225 000 is available from only CHF 26.– (Ø3).You will fi nd a selection of different designs (with corner radius, fl at, short or long blades) in the Toolbook 17 on pages 635 and 636, under article numbers BRW 225 000, 225 010, 225 020, 225 040 and 225 060. Our specialists will gladly advise you on site (phone: 044 736 63 63).

BRW 264 580 from DIXI is the ideal thread cutter for extreme materials such as INCONEL. A current ex-ample from the aerospace industry: In INCONEL 718 with additional welding seams, M10 threads were successfully cut with the following cutting data:Vc = 15 m/min, fz = 0.04 mm, or Vf = 145 mm/min and n = 605 RPM. Pre-drilling Ø 8.5 mm; the opera-tion was cooled with emulsion (10%). BRW 264 580 is also available with TiAlN coating upon request!

Improve cost effectiveness with UT!The standard radius cutter “HB” from Union Tool allows you to counteract increasing cost pressure in tool and mould construction (BRW 222 000), since it is extremely universal (from copper to steel HRC 65) and therefore reduces expensive inventory. And the price is also incredible: Ø2 is available from just CHF 44.40 in stock at Brütsch/Rüegger Tools. Only the best Japanese carbide is used, and the HARD MAX coating guarantees superior durability.

You will fi nd the PROTOTYP face cutterBRW 223 900 on page 630 of the new Toolbook 17. This tool is especially well suited for use on CNC lathes where clamping options are limited. Thanks to the reduced shaft, you can nevertheless clamp and productively process large cutting diameters. In many cases, this supports high cutting speeds in spite of the limited RPM. In addition, the TAX coating makes this tool universally applicable (steel, INOX).

Top-performance milling: FUTURO HPC-PRO

Due to increasing cost pressure, manufactur-ers require high-performance cutting tools with optimum durability, high chipping volume and the least possible amount of machine downtime. We came up with the new line of FUTURO HPC-PRO cutters for our customers in order to meet these requirements.This product line includes top-performance rough-ing and fi nishing cutters. Cut full grooves up to1 x D with incredible productivity, and then fi nish them with the very same tool! This eliminates the need to change tools for fi nishing. High-quality car-bide combines the advantages of wear resistance and durability while covering a wide range of applications. Thanks to the unequal pitch of the blades, vibrations are reduced to a minimum. The

special core geometry also prevents cutter defl ec-tion. This is especially advantageous when cutting full grooves. In addition to top performance, these cutters also come at a sensational price: This month, BRW 225 000 is available from only CHF 26.– (Ø3).You will fi nd a selection of different designs (with corner radius, fl at, short or long blades) in the Toolbook 17 on pages 635 and 636, under article numbers BRW 225 000, 225 010, 225 020, 225 040 and 225 060. Our specialists will gladly advise you on site (phone: 044 736 63 63).

BRW 264 580 from DIXI is the ideal thread cutter for extreme materials such as INCONEL. A current ex-ample from the aerospace industry: In INCONEL 718 with additional welding seams, M10 threads were successfully cut with the following cutting data:Vc = 15 m/min, fz = 0.04 mm, or Vf = 145 mm/min and n = 605 RPM. Pre-drilling Ø 8.5 mm; the opera-tion was cooled with emulsion (10%). BRW 264 580 is also available with TiAlN coating upon request!

Improve cost effectiveness with UT!The standard radius cutter “HB” from Union Tool allows you to counteract increasing cost pressure in tool and mould construction (BRW 222 000), since it is extremely universal (from copper to steel HRC 65) and therefore reduces expensive inventory. And the price is also incredible: Ø2 is available from just CHF 44.40 in stock at Brütsch/Rüegger Tools. Only the best Japanese carbide is used, and the HARD MAX coating guarantees superior durability.

You will fi nd the PROTOTYP face cutterBRW 223 900 on page 630 of the new Toolbook 17. This tool is especially well suited for use on CNC lathes where clamping options are limited. Thanks to the reduced shaft, you can nevertheless clamp and productively process large cutting diameters. In many cases, this supports high cutting speeds in spite of the limited RPM. In addition, the TAX coating makes this tool universally applicable (steel, INOX).

Innovative and successful

by Cay von Fournier,SchmidtColleg, Berlin and St. Gallen

Living creativity in a companyCreativity is a frequently cited term. In gener-al, a person is creative if he or she thinks and acts inventively. Imagination, originality and intuition are just a few of the traits used to describe creative people. But what about the creativity of a company? Does each and every manager have to be creative? Not necessar-ily. However, managers have to ensure that creativity does not get lost in a company but can fully develop. After all, the result of creative acts, innovation, is crucial to the success of a company. This is why a company has to react to changing needs with curiosity as well as to allow and promote new or even seemingly crazy ideas.

on the tool being built. The sequence of opera-tions in the follow-on composite tool also plays a role. This knowledge and skill of the Feintool polymechanics results in the showpiece of fi ne blanking technology: The tool design, which al-lows even complex parts to be manufactured in large series and ready for use in a single pass.

Feintool: From the garage to pole positionGarage stories are not limited to Silicone Valley. When toolmaker Fritz Bösch laid the cornerstone for his company in a garage with 3 em-ployees in 1959, he probably – in spite of all his audacity – never imag-ined that it would develop into a global player and technology leader with 80% of the global market share for fi ne blank presses in just half a century.

The heart: Fine blanking and forming The rather complex structure of the Feintool Group can be traced back to the core compe-tencies of fi ne blanking and forming from any perspective. The “fi ne” difference compared to other processes such as stamping, pressing and sintering is that the technology offered by Fein-tool produces high-precision work pieces in sheet thicknesses of 1–16 mm, ready for installation, in a single press stroke. The resulting elimination of post-processing operations is the key element in comparative cost calculations for such compo-nents.

The key to success The technology is backed up by 50 years of con-sistent research and development in the com-pany research centre in Lyss or in cooperation with universities of applied sciences and techni-cal colleges in Switzerland and around the world. Everything revolves around the three parameters of cutting force, vee-ring force and counterforce – and many variables depending on the area of application of the work piece. Simulation pro-grammes (virtual prototyping) are becoming more and more important, calculating the forces generated during forming and cutting and pro-viding the designer or engineer with information

The heartbeat of Feintool technology: Tool construction in the Lyss technology centre

Standard parts: Well in the running at the 10-year markIn over 130 years of Brütsch/Rüegger company history, we have another anniversary to celebrate: The standard parts competency centre is looking back on ten years since its founding. Our cover photo was chosen with care: As we head into our next decade, we are well in the running and actually leading the pack as regards to our ability to deliver as well as the extent of our product range with 30,000 items. We intend to keep up the pace with our team of certifi ed experts. Suc-cess comes as a team; there are no individual medals in a relay race.

Mould construction and stamping technology: Quality fi rst!

Over the course of the last ten years, we have con-tinuously expanded our product range and made it even more attractive. New names were added to the list of proven suppliers, for example TALKOB®

, a manufacturer of safety couplings and hoses. We also offer skilled support by our standard parts specialists, all of whom are trained toolmakers or machine engineers. They form a competency cen-tre that is unique in Switzerland. Their technical knowledge covers all conceivable applications in mould construction and stamping technology as well as machine and apparatus construction. Special parts: No problem! We prepare special parts from CAD fi les or draw-ings, producing them in superior quality, on time and at attractive prices in conjunction with expe-rienced production partners.

The step to new customers with existing products…

As a result of optimising our standard parts prod-uct range, our products also became popular in other industries. For example, high-precision guide elements are also used in the semiconduc-tor industry, valve technology, and the chemical industry in addition to tool and mould construc-tion. Thanks to the cross-industry expertise of our team, we were able to utilise existing know-how and maintain high-quality consulting services.

…and the step to existing customers with new products

In order to reduce procurement process costs, it is in the best interest of the customer to or-der the largest possible number of components with little effort from a few, high-performance suppliers. This is why we purposefully expanded our product range: We are the fi rst Swiss trading partner to keep a large selection of FESTO pneu-matic components in stock. Order by 5:30 pm in the Toolshop www.brw.ch, and you will have the product in your facility the next day! New at Brütsch/Rüegger Tools, you will now fi nd the as-sembly technology product range. From simple screws to locking devices, from locking pins to balls, we can supply everything overnight. Ideally with your tools and standard parts order, so syn-ergy effects are fully utilised. Showdown at PRODEX Our team will be there for you from November 18 to 22, 2008 in Booth H12, Hall 1.1. Order your free tickets (also valid for SWISStech) by e-mail to [email protected] or under reference number 03.10.

Brütsch/Rüegger standard parts team: Well on our way after the first ten years

Logic in the process chain The structure of the Feintool segments of fi ne blanking / forming, system parts, auto-mation and plastic / metal components really does make sense: High-precision multi-func-tion parts are produced in modern fi ne blank-ing presses with the core tool. These parts can be supplied individually, or combined into assemblies or end products using automatic assembly equipment also offered by Feintool.The production facilities for all of these steps are located around the world. Focal points include automobile industry centres in the USA, Japan, Europe and – sooner or later – in China, India or Mexico.

Feintool is along for the ride The main market for Feintool technology and services is the global automobile industry. But more and more customers from the electron-ics industry, telecommunication and even the medical industry are recognising the advantages of fi ne blanking technology for their products. So the future looks bright for the listed Feintool group, with more than 1900 employees around the world (of which 360 are in Lyss). A tour of the technology centre and parts production in Lyss says it all: As long as we have companies like this, there is no need to worry about economic activ-ity in Switzerland in the foreseeable future!

Clear procurement strategy Even though the interface to the internal ERP system has not been implemented yet, those in charge of purchasing for the Lyss technology centre are taking advantage of the features of-fered by the Brütsch/Rüegger Tools Toolshop at www.brw.ch. The purchasing structure is mod-elled down to the cost centre level, shopping lists have been prepared for items needed on a regular basis, the “user” in operations or at the machine has the necessary authority and is freed from time-consuming administrative tasks. This results in a noticeable decrease in procurement process costs, which gives purchasers more room for strategic procurement. Feintool employees exhibit environmental responsibility by placing weekly orders so as to minimise transportation and packaging. If you would like to know more about the Feintool Group, please visit the website under www.feintool.com.

Top-performance milling: FUTURO HPC-PRO

Due to increasing cost pressure, manufactur-ers require high-performance cutting tools with optimum durability, high chipping volume and the least possible amount of machine downtime. We came up with the new line of FUTURO HPC-PRO cutters for our customers in order to meet these requirements.This product line includes top-performance rough-ing and fi nishing cutters. Cut full grooves up to1 x D with incredible productivity, and then fi nish them with the very same tool! This eliminates the need to change tools for fi nishing. High-quality car-bide combines the advantages of wear resistance and durability while covering a wide range of applications. Thanks to the unequal pitch of the blades, vibrations are reduced to a minimum. The

special core geometry also prevents cutter defl ec-tion. This is especially advantageous when cutting full grooves. In addition to top performance, these cutters also come at a sensational price: This month, BRW 225 000 is available from only CHF 26.– (Ø3).You will fi nd a selection of different designs (with corner radius, fl at, short or long blades) in the Toolbook 17 on pages 635 and 636, under article numbers BRW 225 000, 225 010, 225 020, 225 040 and 225 060. Our specialists will gladly advise you on site (phone: 044 736 63 63).

BRW 264 580 from DIXI is the ideal thread cutter for extreme materials such as INCONEL. A current ex-ample from the aerospace industry: In INCONEL 718 with additional welding seams, M10 threads were successfully cut with the following cutting data:Vc = 15 m/min, fz = 0.04 mm, or Vf = 145 mm/min and n = 605 RPM. Pre-drilling Ø 8.5 mm; the opera-tion was cooled with emulsion (10%). BRW 264 580 is also available with TiAlN coating upon request!

Thread cutting in INCONEL

Improve cost effectiveness with UT!The standard radius cutter “HB” from Union Tool allows you to counteract increasing cost pressure in tool and mould construction (BRW 222 000), since it is extremely universal (from copper to steel HRC 65) and therefore reduces expensive inventory. And the price is also incredible: Ø2 is available from just CHF 44.40 in stock at Brütsch/Rüegger Tools. Only the best Japanese carbide is used, and the HARD MAX coating guarantees superior durability.

You will fi nd the PROTOTYP face cutterBRW 223 900 on page 630 of the new Toolbook 17. This tool is especially well suited for use on CNC lathes where clamping options are limited. Thanks to the reduced shaft, you can nevertheless clamp and productively process large cutting diameters. In many cases, this supports high cutting speeds in spite of the limited RPM. In addition, the TAX coating makes this tool universally applicable (steel, INOX).

PROTOTYP VHM face cutter

...with CoroCut 3 from Sandvik Coromant.BRW 305 600 features a third cutting edge for your grooving and tapping operations, opening new ho-rizons to improve productivity in mass production.

Thanks to the unequal pitch of the blades, vibrations are reduced to a minimum. The

special core geometry also prevents cutter defl ec-tion. This is especially advantageous when cutting full grooves. In addition to top performance, these cutters also come at a sensational price: This month, BRW 225 000 is available from only CHF 26.– (Ø3).You will fi nd a selection of different designs (with corner radius, fl at, short or long blades) in the Toolbook 17 on pages 635 and 636, under article numbers BRW 225 000, 225 010, 225 020, 225 040 and 225 060. Our specialists will gladly advise you on site (phone: 044 736 63 63).

BRW 264 580 from DIXI is the ideal thread cutter for extreme materials such as INCONEL. A current ex-ample from the aerospace industry: In INCONEL 718 with additional welding seams, M10 threads were successfully cut with the following cutting data:Vc = 15 m/min, fz = 0.04 mm, or Vf = 145 mm/min and n = 605 RPM. Pre-drilling Ø 8.5 mm; the opera-tion was cooled with emulsion (10%). BRW 264 580 is also available with TiAlN coating upon request!

Thread cutting in INCONEL

Improve cost effectiveness with UT!The standard radius cutter “HB” from Union Tool allows you to counteract increasing cost pressure in tool and mould construction (BRW 222 000), since it is extremely universal (from copper to steel HRC 65) and therefore reduces expensive inventory. And the price is also incredible: Ø2 is available from just CHF 44.40 in stock at Brütsch/Rüegger Tools. Only the best Japanese carbide is used, and the HARD MAX coating guarantees superior durability.

You will fi nd the PROTOTYP face cutterBRW 223 900 on page 630 of the new Toolbook 17. This tool is especially well suited for use on CNC lathes where clamping options are limited. Thanks to the reduced shaft, you can nevertheless clamp and productively process large cutting diameters. In many cases, this supports high cutting speeds in spite of the limited RPM. In addition, the TAX coating makes this tool universally applicable (steel, INOX).

Innovative and successful

by Cay von Fournier,SchmidtColleg, Berlin and St. Gallen

Living creativity in a companyCreativity is a frequently cited term. In gener-al, a person is creative if he or she thinks and acts inventively. Imagination, originality and intuition are just a few of the traits used to describe creative people. But what about the creativity of a company? Does each and every manager have to be creative? Not necessar-ily. However, managers have to ensure that creativity does not get lost in a company but can fully develop. After all, the result of creative acts, innovation, is crucial to the success of a company. This is why a company has to react to changing needs with curiosity as well as to allow and promote new or even seemingly crazy ideas.

on the tool being built. The sequence of opera-tions in the follow-on composite tool also plays a role. This knowledge and skill of the Feintool polymechanics results in the showpiece of fi ne blanking technology: The tool design, which al-lows even complex parts to be manufactured in large series and ready for use in a single pass.

Feintool: From the garage to pole positionGarage stories are not limited to Silicone Valley. When toolmaker Fritz Bösch laid the cornerstone for his company in a garage with 3 em-ployees in 1959, he probably – in spite of all his audacity – never imag-ined that it would develop into a global player and technology leader with 80% of the global market share for fi ne blank presses in just half a century.

The heart: Fine blanking and forming The rather complex structure of the Feintool Group can be traced back to the core compe-tencies of fi ne blanking and forming from any perspective. The “fi ne” difference compared to other processes such as stamping, pressing and sintering is that the technology offered by Fein-tool produces high-precision work pieces in sheet thicknesses of 1–16 mm, ready for installation, in a single press stroke. The resulting elimination of post-processing operations is the key element in comparative cost calculations for such compo-nents.

The key to success The technology is backed up by 50 years of con-sistent research and development in the com-pany research centre in Lyss or in cooperation with universities of applied sciences and techni-cal colleges in Switzerland and around the world. Everything revolves around the three parameters of cutting force, vee-ring force and counterforce – and many variables depending on the area of application of the work piece. Simulation pro-grammes (virtual prototyping) are becoming more and more important, calculating the forces generated during forming and cutting and pro-viding the designer or engineer with information

The heartbeat of Feintool technology: Tool construction in the Lyss technology centre

Standard parts: Well in the running at the 10-year markIn over 130 years of Brütsch/Rüegger company history, we have another anniversary to celebrate: The standard parts competency centre is looking back on ten years since its founding. Our cover photo was chosen with care: As we head into our next decade, we are well in the running and actually leading the pack as regards to our ability to deliver as well as the extent of our product range with 30,000 items. We intend to keep up the pace with our team of certifi ed experts. Suc-cess comes as a team; there are no individual medals in a relay race.

Mould construction and stamping technology: Quality fi rst!

Over the course of the last ten years, we have con-tinuously expanded our product range and made it even more attractive. New names were added to the list of proven suppliers, for example TALKOB®

, a manufacturer of safety couplings and hoses. We also offer skilled support by our standard parts specialists, all of whom are trained toolmakers or machine engineers. They form a competency cen-tre that is unique in Switzerland. Their technical knowledge covers all conceivable applications in mould construction and stamping technology as well as machine and apparatus construction. Special parts: No problem! We prepare special parts from CAD fi les or draw-ings, producing them in superior quality, on time and at attractive prices in conjunction with expe-rienced production partners.

The step to new customers with existing products…

As a result of optimising our standard parts prod-uct range, our products also became popular in other industries. For example, high-precision guide elements are also used in the semiconduc-tor industry, valve technology, and the chemical industry in addition to tool and mould construc-tion. Thanks to the cross-industry expertise of our team, we were able to utilise existing know-how and maintain high-quality consulting services.

…and the step to existing customers with new products

In order to reduce procurement process costs, it is in the best interest of the customer to or-der the largest possible number of components with little effort from a few, high-performance suppliers. This is why we purposefully expanded our product range: We are the fi rst Swiss trading partner to keep a large selection of FESTO pneu-matic components in stock. Order by 5:30 pm in the Toolshop www.brw.ch, and you will have the product in your facility the next day! New at Brütsch/Rüegger Tools, you will now fi nd the as-sembly technology product range. From simple screws to locking devices, from locking pins to balls, we can supply everything overnight. Ideally with your tools and standard parts order, so syn-ergy effects are fully utilised. Showdown at PRODEX Our team will be there for you from November 18 to 22, 2008 in Booth H12, Hall 1.1. Order your free tickets (also valid for SWISStech) by e-mail to [email protected] or under reference number 03.10.

Brütsch/Rüegger standard parts team: Well on our way after the first ten years

Logic in the process chain The structure of the Feintool segments of fi ne blanking / forming, system parts, auto-mation and plastic / metal components really does make sense: High-precision multi-func-tion parts are produced in modern fi ne blank-ing presses with the core tool. These parts can be supplied individually, or combined into assemblies or end products using automatic assembly equipment also offered by Feintool.The production facilities for all of these steps are located around the world. Focal points include automobile industry centres in the USA, Japan, Europe and – sooner or later – in China, India or Mexico.

Feintool is along for the ride The main market for Feintool technology and services is the global automobile industry. But more and more customers from the electron-ics industry, telecommunication and even the medical industry are recognising the advantages of fi ne blanking technology for their products. So the future looks bright for the listed Feintool group, with more than 1900 employees around the world (of which 360 are in Lyss). A tour of the technology centre and parts production in Lyss says it all: As long as we have companies like this, there is no need to worry about economic activ-ity in Switzerland in the foreseeable future!

Clear procurement strategy Even though the interface to the internal ERP system has not been implemented yet, those in charge of purchasing for the Lyss technology centre are taking advantage of the features of-fered by the Brütsch/Rüegger Tools Toolshop at www.brw.ch. The purchasing structure is mod-elled down to the cost centre level, shopping lists have been prepared for items needed on a regular basis, the “user” in operations or at the machine has the necessary authority and is freed from time-consuming administrative tasks. This results in a noticeable decrease in procurement process costs, which gives purchasers more room for strategic procurement. Feintool employees exhibit environmental responsibility by placing weekly orders so as to minimise transportation and packaging.
