For this purpose, the components are guided along in a process water basin upstream of a patented ultrasonic sonotrode, whose generated vibrations cause the burrs to oscillate in an energy-efficient manner and break off with sharp edges in a process-safe manner. Since July 2022, the start-up ultraTEC has been a company of the international VOLLMER GROUP from Biberach an der Riß.
Established more than 60 years ago, Phillips Tool Co was initially founded by Ted Phillips back in 1959 as a tool and die manufacturing business serving local customers in the Frankfort, IN area.
Wisconsin based Integrity Saw & Tool Inc. has purchased a VOLLMER CHX 840 circular saw blade sharpening machine with the VOLLMER HS automated loading station to provide capacity for a significant order the company has won from a new pallet manufacturing customer.

The name of the US company Great Lakes Custom Tool Manufacturing (GLCT) says it all: GLCT produces special tools and is situated at Lake Michigan, one of North America's five Great Lakes. In order to machine tools and circular saws that are tipped with carbide or PCD (polycrystalline diamond), the toolmaker uses 19 VOLLMER machines in total. Recently, the Swabian sharpening specialist supplied GLCT with a VPulse 500 wire erosion machine and a VGrind 360 tool grinding machine, amongst others.
Danish tool manufacturer, TN Værktøjsslibning, is a name that may be a bit of a mouthful, so they often shorten it to TN Slib. The word "Værktøjsslibning" means "tool grinding", and that is exactly what the company does: It produces coated, solid carbide milling cutters and drill bits, which can be made to order or can be chosen from more than 50 standard models.
Coronavirus has meant that GrindTec 2020 was postponed for 8 months, making the trade fair appearance of Biberach sharpening specialist VOLLMER even more exiting: What until now has only been talked about and written about can now be seen live.
