Precision processing

We are equipped with state-of-the art CNC milling machines to machine and ensure intricate profiles to meet various customer requirements. This enables us to supply fully finished components instead of only stamped components.

To achieve accurate mounting or functional holes up to IT6 grade accuracy we are equipped with a battery of honing machines. This is a good value addition process post heat treatment and grinding.

Turning processes are used to finish finely cut blanks or sleeves manufactured with rotary swaging processes. The advantage of turning is the high runout accuracy of the dimensions produced by turning in a single clamping operation. To give an example, sleeves produced by rotary swaging are machined on the end faces and partially on the outside diameter.

Our systems are automated, can be flexibly loaded with robots, and allow impact-free loading and unloading of delicate precision parts, allowing for example high volume production of IT 7 fits (18 microns in the diameter range 10 mm to 18 mm).

We can also process materials that are difficult to machine.

Turned parts for the medical and watchmaking industries

• The focus here is on small parts with diameters below 2.5 mm with high levels of precision
• Material: Stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, special alloys at the customer's request
• Applications: Measurement and control technology, medical technology, precision engineering, watchmaking

KERN-LIEBERS uses hard machining during turning, milling, drilling and reaming in order to avoid the need for grinding or honing operations.

In the manufacture of valve seats, we use hard machining in combination with superfinish operations to ensure the tightness of the seats. A 100% leak test using testing machines designed and built by KERN-LIEBERS ensures a tightness rate of 0 ppm.
