Stimulus for Shrinking Technology
(05.04.2013)

The companies Bilz and HAIMER, market leaders in inductive shrinking technology which together through the years have established shrink fit technology as a standard option for tool holding in the high precision metal cutting industry, have come to an important agreement. Both companies have agreed to respect each other’s strong patent position and have established extensive cross licenses in the content of the new agreement.

After years of patent law conflicts during multiple proceedings in the German courts, both worldwide leading companies in Tool Shrinking Technology, Bilz Werkzeugfabrik GmbH& Co. KG and Haimer GmbH, have found a mutually beneficial solution and settled their lawsuits. Both companies possess extensive and strong patents in the area of tool shrinking and now mutually respect the legal validity of all intellectual property rights in question. The agreement also includes extensive cross licenses, which create legal certainty for both companies and their customers.

Andreas Haimer, Director and Member of Executive Board at HAIMER comments that this agreement is: „A good solution for the German medium sized businesses and the inductive shrink fit technology market in general.” Michael Voss, President of Bilz Group, adds:” With this solution customers can openly use two convincing systems, which can be used compatibly without the fear of legal restrictions or license fees.”

A new stimulus for the inductive shrinking technology is expected from this mutually beneficial solution. Based on this legal foundation, both companies will invest even more in R&D to further develop the high end shrink fit machines and holders.

Finally the inductive shrink fit technology offers significant advantages in the tool clamping area as compared to other options: Apart from the outstanding run out accuracy of the shrink fit holders, this system offers the widest variety of manufacturer’s producing shrink fit holders. The shrink fit technology is the only system with a stationary tool clamping unit which enables the application of standardized shrink fit tool holders from multiple suppliers. Conversely, if the customer choses a special solution for tool holding such as press fit or polygonal clamping systems with specific limited manufacturers, forcing them to be restricted in the selection of tool holders at an expensive investment of a stationary special tool clamping unit, he can use a wide assortment of shrink fit tool holders from HAIMER or the Thermogrip Group when shrinking is the tool holder system of choice. Andreas Haimer and Michael Voss agree: ”The majority of all customers have realized this decisive fact and the shrink fit technology is regarded as the new standard in the tool holding area. No other system offers more advantages and a higher market acceptance. Hydraulic and Weldon chucks belong to the past; other special and expensive clamping methods won’t be implemented due to a lack in flexibility and technical advantages.”
