Today Dixi Polytool opens its premises in le Locle. After several months of work and important investments, the company presents itself under a new image.
In the spring of 2012, the company approached the architect’s office to redesign its 7’000 m2 of surface. The goals? Improve the thermal values of the building, improve working conditions and also act positively on the company’s image as well as prepare the implementation of Lean Manufacturing. All self-financed!
A pleasing trend For several years, Dixi Polytool is in the steam of a very positive dynamics and its evolution is not limited to its building, the investment rate in state-of-the-art production means is considerable at more than 10% of the turnover per year. Dixi is clearly becoming a major player in the field of cutting tools for both small and precise. Many new products in 2014 Specialized in the realization of micro tools in solid carbide and diamond, shaped tools and precision reamers as well as special tools on request, it is more than 11’000 references that Dixi offers to its customers. And it innovates constantly. Mr. Schuler, CEO, explains: "We have the chance to be at the heart of the market and in direct contact daily with our customers, this enables us to continually find new solutions". So as to fully stick to the demands of the market, Customers Applications and R&D departments have been merged in 2013. Dynamics and customer orientation have been extensively developed. In this respect the Director concludes: "In micromachining (up to 20 mm in standard) we have the image of a provider ready for challenges and going further". Customers looking for effective and reliable solutions are well aware of this.
Don’t miss our next issue for the full interview of M. Schuler.

The AMCC-freezing clamping technology is a patented, high-performance system that allows clamping without deformation and clamping of smallest workpieces simply using ice! To be discovered at the AMB that starts tomorrow. The freezing technology is very easy, connect the plate to the air supply, spray water, place the parts and freeze! Originally designed to meet the needs of space industry workshops, icing plates have since become a necessity in all fields involving the manufacture of (…)
TDM Systems GmbH has now further underpinned its expertise in tool data management through its new CI (Corporate Identity) which speaks volumes at a glance. After 10 years, the Tübingen-based software and IT service experts have introduced a new innovative and dynamic image. Without real tool data, production simulation is not reliable: TDM has been supporting NC programming and CAD/CAM simulation with powerful software tools for many years now. The screenshot shows a 3D turning tool in (…)
Dixi polytool recently presented its new thread whirler developed to solve some troubles in the aerospace industry. The new Drilling thread whirler, Dixi 1740, Ø M3 and M2, Z = 2 The common machining method implied a few operations, namely spot drilling, drilling before threading, threading and finally drilling again to remove any possible burr. This is quite a lot of operations and the result was not perfect. Problem solving tool Results of the standard machining showed some burrs and (…)
The proven slot-type chuck with integrated Venturi nozzle together with a robust vacuum pump is now available as an extensive starter set. There are two versions available. The low-cost starter version already has low-maintenance Venturi technology integrated to generate vacuum and can be used immediately. The dbA noise level is relatively low with 57. The set with a powerful vacuum pump offers greater possibilities. Advantages of the slim slot-type: very flat, large range of uses (…)
Micromachining is in a class of its own. Manufacturers and suppliers in this rapidly-growing sector work hard in order to gain the trust of the industry and research institutes. One company that has earned this trust is W-Präzisionstechnik from Eichendorf/Perbing in Bavaria, Germany. Top quality micromachining. A 50 µm drill is barely visible to the naked eye. Company owner Helmut Wandinger and his team are not only the first stop for micromachining, but also specialist for tricky (…)
With the new Ratio drill type RT 100 Guhring is presenting a newly developed solid carbide drill at AMB 2012 in Stuttgart that sets new standards regarding process reliability and performance especially for the machining of difficult-to-machine materials. The new RT 100 HF is optimally suited for the machining of high-tensile materials and nickel-based super-alloys as for example Inconel 718. With its robust cutting edge geometry it is optimised for the typical wear types of high-tensile (…)
One year ago, Mikron Tool presented the new development of flexible solid carbide drills and earned respect from the producers of deep hole drills, because these drills, starting at 0.1 mm diameter, achieved drilling depths up to 30 x D. Today, the Swiss tool producer takes another step forward and expands their drilling program of CrazyDrill Flex. We are now talking about drilling depths up to 50 x D with integrated cooling which is indispensable for these extreme drilling depths. Also new (…)
To strengthen its presence on the market, Weiss AG takes an additional step by investing in the latest laser technology which allows to machine perfectly not only PCD diamond cutting tools but also those in CVD. Thanks to this new technology, cutting edges impossible to realise before are now within reach. It is conceivable to cut almost all imaginable geometries, whether it be sharp or, rounded edges, positive or negative, with or without 3D chip breaker for an optimal chip evacuation. CVD (…)
The new MultiSwiss machine from Tornos is already making a big impact. As its presence on the market grows, additional product suppliers are starting to bring out solutions which extend its possibilities. A case in point is Applitec, which has produced a tool holder head designed for cutting. Specialists in bar turning tools, Applitec provide solutions which are specifically designed for machining parts from a few tenths of a millimetre to 32 mm. By using this dedicated cutting tool (…)
Micro machining is a rapidly growing market – even complex geometries on a miniature scale can now be reliably mass produced with materials difficult to cut. The new Rego-Fix Tool holder with cutting-edge technology for micro machining. To meet stringent, high-precision requirements, the toolholding system plays a key role as the interface between the cutting tool and machining center – which is where the new powRgrip® PG 6 system size from the Swiss tool manufacturer REGO-FIX comes in.
