A successful partnership with WEISSER
J.G. WEISSER is a world-leading supplier of multifunctional precision lathes and turning centres and ranks among the top suppliers to the automotive industry, its suppliers and numerous other sectors of the metalworking industry. Our two-component metalworking fluid HYCUT is successfully used on WEISSER’s UNIVERTOR AM vertical turning centre for the flat honing of thermally coated EURO7 brake discs.
The start of our collaboration
Thanks to the use of DIAHON’s flat honing system in WEISSER’s modular UNIVERTOR AM vertical lathe and the positive experience gained with our HYCUT metalworking fluid in similar projects, DIAHON recommended us to WEISSER. This recommendation marked the start of our successful collaboration, in which our two-component metalworking fluid HYCUT is now also used in the WEISSER machine tool. A key focus was on minimising the clogging of the honing bars through the use of our metalworking fluid – a challenge that is crucial to the efficiency and precision of the process.
Our solution: HYCUT
To reduce clogging of the honing bars during the flat honing of brake discs and significantly increase the productivity of the process, our two-component metalworking fluid HYCUT was successfully used in combination with the ADDITIV BF in this innovative project. This tailor-made solution helps to extend the efficiency and service life of the honing bars, resulting in consistently high quality of the machined workpieces.
Although the project is still in the development phase, it is already showing promising results. HYCUT has proven to be extremely effective in significantly reducing the clogging of honing bars, leading to consistently high machining quality and a significant reduction in downtime. The improved lubrication not only ensures precise and efficient machining but also reduces wear on the machines and tools, thereby lowering production costs in the long term.
Thanks to this innovative solution, the entire machining process has been optimised – greater process stability, reduced downtime and an extended tool life are just some of the key benefits. The result is a noticeable increase in productivity and improved cost-effectiveness for our partner WEISSER.

WEISSER on Oemeta:
“Working with Oemeta was straightforward and constructive. We particularly appreciated the open approach taken in defining the problem and the targeted development of a solution. Based on this project, we can highly recommend Oemeta, particularly for machining processes involving cutting edges with undefined geometry.”
