Round. Rectangular. Irregular. One chuck handles them all.

HWR's INOFlex® range uses a patented compensating clamping mechanism that centres round, rectangular, and even geometrically irregular parts with equal precision. It’s a game-changer for thin-walled or deformation-sensitive components where a standard chuck would distort the part.

Available in power and manual versions, INOFlex® is built for turning and milling operations where concentricity and repeatability can't be compromised.

Introducing the HERMLE C 22 MT GEN2, making its debut at AMB Stuttgart in Germany later this month!

HERMLE has expanded its 5-axis machining centre range with the C 22 MT GEN2. A mill-turn machine built on the proven C 22 platform, now developed specifically for combined milling and turning in one setup.

What's new:
✅ Simultaneous 5-axis milling AND turning operations
✅ Expandable to include grinding and power skiving
✅ Rough-turn and finish-machine rotationally symmetrical parts without re-clamping
✅ Purpose-built chip management for mill-turn applications

Ideal for aerospace, medical technology, and tool & mold making, where precision and process integration matter most.

Get in touch to learn how TOP-TOOL and HERMLE can take your machining to new heights.

Automating zero-point clamping without the plumbing.

HWR's RoboConnect brings SOLIDPoint® zero-point technology into fully automated processes, without the need to route pneumatic or hydraulic media through the centre of the table.

Instead, the robot itself delivers the medium via a smart interface, meaning zero-point technology stays functional even when the connector disconnects from the plate mid-lift.

✅ Automate machines even without medium at the table ✅ Flexible robot connection increases application range ✅ Still fully usable manually ✅ Same high pull-down forces & repeatability you expect from SOLIDPoint®

Stainless steel doesn't forgive the wrong insert.

Sandvik Coromant's range of milling inserts and grades for stainless steel is built for exactly this challenge. From light roughing to finishing, across stable and demanding operating conditions.

The assortment includes CVD- and PVD-coated cemented carbide grades and cermets, engineered to handle the work-hardening and heat-retention properties that make stainless steel notoriously tricky to machine.

Whatever your ISO M application, TOP-TOOL can help you find the right insert and grade combination.

Small bore. Big precision.

The HEULE DL2 deburring tool handles bore diameters as small as 1.0 mm, deburring the front and back edge in a single pass, without stopping the spindle.

Perfect for demanding applications in medical technology, electronics, aerospace and precision watchmaking, where every micron counts.

✅ Bores from Ø1.00 mm – Ø2.10 mm ✅ Integrated coolant for maximum blade life ✅ Simple, tweezer-free blade changes

Get in touch to discuss HEULE tooling for your micro-machining needs.

Automation that fits in 12m². Yes, really.

The HERMLE robot system RS 1 was upgraded to GEN2 spec and is set to make its debut at AMB Stuttgart, Germany, from 15 - 19 September 2026. It's built for exactly the kind of high-mix, variable production South African manufacturers deal with every day.

Central 6-axis robot with 60 kg payload
Handles pallets, workpiece carriers AND individual parts
Footprint of just ~12 m² (4.25 x 3.00 m)
Can connect to one or two HERMLE machining centres
Expandable with rack modules, measuring machines, washing systems & more

Built for manufacturers who need longer unattended runtimes without sacrificing flexibility.

Composites play by different rules. Now there's a tool built for them.

Sandvik Coromant's CoroMill® Plura composite 2P350 is a serrated router purpose-built for machining carbon and glass fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP/GFRP) - materials known for unpredictable cutting forces, delamination risk and rapid tool wear.

✅ Patented dual-cutting mechanism for stable, scissor-like cutting action
✅ New O2AD diamond-coated grade with up to 100% longer tool life vs. the previous O12M grade*
✅ Large flute volume for efficient chip evacuation
✅ Reduced vibration = quieter, more comfortable shop floor

Built for aerospace applications like fuselage structures, wings, spars, ribs and frames.

*Based on Sandvik Coromant field testing.

Clamping technology that holds its shape.

HWR's INOLine® range is built for one job: clamping round and square components in a precisely concentric way, even parts that are prone to deforming under pressure.

The range includes:
INOFlex®: compensating 4-jaw chucks & vices
INOZet®: turns almost any 3-jaw chuck into a compensating 6-jaw chuck
INOTop®: hybrid chuck for pressureless clamping of rings & sleeves
UNIJaws®: standard clamping jaws for all chucks

35+ years of German clamping expertise, available to you locally through TOP-TOOL.
