High-polish turning – groove-free ultra-precision

Mirror finish in one step 


High-gloss, reflecting surfaces not only make a product more attractive: Some technologies require ultra-smooth surfaces. For certain sealing surfaces but also for components where the appearance is important (for example bathroom fittings), the surface finish has to be absolutely perfect.

For parts which used to require several processes such as polishing, cleaning, lapping, and electro-coating, reflecting surfaces can now be achieved by high-polish turning only. 

Much experience 


Bettina Bernhard, Managing Director of ZWT Zisterer, knows that absolutely accurate profile inserts are the precondition for successful saving of process steps. "With tools for high-polish turning, we obviously can use our extensive experience and technical strengths to full advantage," she says. For high-polish turning, ZWT Zisterer offers hard metal tools suitable for extremely accurate machining of metals.

These tools can create surfaces so smooth that the unprofessional eye might take them for a mirror – but which are at the same time absolutely true to scale and free from scores even with high magnification.

Faultless tool for optimum results 


To get truly brilliant results, you need the optimum tool for high-polish turning. Here, ZWT Zisterer's long experience in the field comes into play: Ultra-fine ground and lapped cutting faces and flanks are the preconditions for achieving optimum results in the finished product. With a roughness value (Ra value) of 0.01, the ZWT Zisterer tools allow for the manufacture of faultless surfaces.

Furthermore, the matching tool holder ensures that extremely small tolerances are reliably observed. Thus, ZWT Zisterer tools are used for example for high-polish turning of visible surfaces of fittings to prepare them for further processing.  Since no polishing step is required after high-polish turning, the components can remain in the electroplating shop directly for the next processing steps.
