Hembrug Products

Hard turning offers significant advantages over cylindrical grinding including faster cycle times, reduced setup complexity, and the ability to machine complex geometries in a single setup. Hembrug machines achieve grinding-like surface quality through hard turning, making them a highly efficient and cost-effective alternative for hardened steel components with tight tolerance requirements.

Hembrug Hard Turning Machines are designed to work with hardened materials typically ranging from 45 to 70 HRC, including hardened steel, tool steel, bearing steel, and case-hardened components. Their hydrostatic spindle and guideway technology ensures consistent accuracy even when machining the most demanding hardened workpiece materials.

Industries that demand ultra-precision turned components benefit greatly from Hembrug machines. These include aerospace, automotive, mold and die, precision mechanics, textile machinery, and medical device manufacturing. Any sector requiring tight tolerances on hardened components — such as bearing races, hydraulic components, or injection mold cores — is an ideal candidate.
