With consulting and on-site visits we lead you to the best solution.

Tool manufacturers and press shops throughout the world place their trust in the special know-how of Oerlikon Balzers.

In sheet metal pressing the collaboration often starts following the forming simulation and leads on to concrete recommendations regarding selection of materials, as well as heat and surface treatment. The designer thus obtains an early estimation of the wear situation to be expected and can adapt the tool without loss of time and cost.

Professional support throughout the production chain

Within the tool making and press maintenance areas, Oerlikon Balzers offers intensive consultation that often helps avoid significant costs and delays. We always strive for the optimum solution.

To this end, Oerlikon Balzers has a very wide range of processes available in-house,  and in addition collaborates (after checking with the customer) with competent partner companies.

For each functional surface, Oerlikon Balzers seeks a solution, that so far as possible, requires no further treatment. In the area of cast iron tools, this is now feasible, thanks to the PPD™ technology.
