Efficient processing of extrusion dies
Extrusion dies must be reworked and optimized by skilled professionals in laborious work by hand. These works increasingly result in higher tool price. The use of MicroStream abrasive flow machining leads to a significant cost reduction while improving the quality of the end product.

AFM-Medium streamer – the liquid file
The central tool for the mechanical removal process of Micro Stream abrasive flow machining is the streamer. It is individually adapted to the material to be processed, the component geometry and the desired surface quality. This supports the process decisively, reduces machining times and delivers the best surface qualities.

Modernize your control system now!
Industry 4.0 allows for a sharp leap in productivity and profits. Those who use this development create significant competitive advantages for themselves and their customers. Your control system has a lot of intelligence and potential, too. In collaboration with Pütz Prozessautomatisierung GmbH we are today once more offering you the chance to adapt your control system to the technology of the future.

Construction of a new technology centre
A new technology centre for the Pütz Group is currently under construction in Remshalden. The subsidiaries Micro + Hega Surfaces GmbH (currently in Freiberg am Neckar) and Sampas GmbH (currently in Kernen-Rommelshausen) are due to move into a modern, energy self-sufficient building where they will develop and research technologies for the surface treatment and robot systems of the future. We are hoping to be able to welcome you there by 2024!

Comfort Line – permanently slimmer!
MicroStream abrasive flow machining systems assist you in the grinding and deburring of difficult to reach internal bores as well as the rounding of edges or the polishing of milled, turned or cast components – and all completely independent of their geometric shapes.
Our products stand forhighest quality and reliability, and we are constantly working to improve them for your benefit. OurComfort Line therefore now also comes in aspace-saving design.

Do you already know our Streamer?
Did you know that the optimal selection of the abrasive medium, which we call the Streamer, contributes significantly to the success of abrasive flow machining?
The use of a Streamer that is adapted to your processing task provides decisive support for your process, reduces processing times and delivers the best surface qualities.

Expansion thanks to reduction?
Expansion and reduction are not mutually exclusive in this case. By installing our reducing kit, you decrease the cylinder diameter of your abrasive flow machine and thereby expand your processing spectrum. As a result, you are perfectly prepared for both test processing as well as serial production, for small, delicate and large components - all with one machine.

We are your partner for contract manufacturing
For components with traditional production methods, and for additively manufactured components in particular, there is often a need to significantly improve the surface quality, especially if they have hard to reach, internal surfaces. We would be happy to process your workpieces as a service provider at our contract manufacturing site in Freiberg am Neckar.
See the quality of our machining for yourself, and the opportunities it opens up for your individual workpieces. We are happy to create an initial feasibility analysis for your components based on drawings.

Optimization of medium piston in the grinding process of inside surfaces
With our abrasive flow machining process you can achieve significant improvements in the surface quality of your processed workpieces. The new, modular medium pistons from Micro Surfaces minimise the number of spare part replacements you will have to make in future. In the event that a sealing edge wears out, only the piston seal and, after even longer run times, the guide band need to be replaced.

More powerful hydraulic aggregate and optimised software
Perfect coordination of all components forms the basis for first-class product quality. Our systems now have a more powerful hydraulic aggregate. In conjunction with optimised software this leads to an even more stable process and thus to the best grinding results.

The new heating/cooling system with anti-condensation coating
The temperature of the STREAMER abrasive medium has a high impact on the processing quality. We have developed a significantly improved heating/cooling system and redesigned the heat exchanger. These measures ensure that the medium remains at a consistent temperature. Moreover, an additional anti-condensation coating increases the service life of the Streamer.
