The funding for the research work is provided within the framework of the international funding program IraSME (International research activities by small and medium-sized enterprises) and is supplied by Innosuisse and the German funding program ZIM (Central Innovation Program for SMEs). The scientific partner is the research institution GFE (Society for Manufacturing Technology and Development Schmalkalden e.V.). They contribute their expertise in the development of highly specialized coating solutions to achieve the best possible tool performance in demanding machining applications.
The traditional Swiss family businesses URMA AG and Schnyder SA combine their many years of expertise and shared vision for precision and quality to develop pioneering solutions for tool technology. As a third-generation company, they not only share a passion for the highest standards but also similar challenges in today's manufacturing industry. The focus of their collaboration is on the fine optimization of microgeometry and coating technologies to make tools more efficient, process-safe, and durable, and to equip them for the machining of high-performance materials.
The common goal: To make sustainable coating solutions and manufacturing processes more efficient and cost-effective.
Project to promote forward-looking production technologies
URMA AG is thus one of the few selected this year for the cross-border funding program. During the two-year project duration, URMA AG and Schnyder SA rely on international cooperation with the German medium-sized company K.-H. Müller Precision Tools GmbH. All participating partners bring expertise from complementary areas of high-end tool manufacturing and jointly develop innovative technologies for hard-to-machine materials.
Contribution to sustainable manufacturing and process optimization
By combining their competencies, URMA AG, Schnyder SA, and K.-H. Müller Precision Tools GmbH aim to overcome technological boundaries in the field of machining hard-to-machine materials. The project is accompanied by the research institution GFE (Society for Manufacturing Technology and Development Schmalkalden e.V.).
The research work aims to increase the efficiency and sustainability of manufacturing by providing industrial manufacturing companies with tools that meet the demands of new materials. This creates synergies that benefit the entire industry and significantly simplify the machining of complex materials for manufacturers.
