Rösler becomes exclusive global sales partner for GPAINNOVA’s DLyte Carbide Series for surface finishing of carbide cutting tools
April 8 , 2024
Rösler Oberflächentechnik GmbH and GPAINNOVA are expanding their partnership: After Rösler has been the exclusive distributor of GPAINNOVA’s DLyte Industrial Series for the German market for some time now, the world market leader Rösler will also take over the worldwide distribution of GPAINNOVA’s Carbide Cutting Tools Series as well as the individual process development and service of the machines. In addition, GPAINNOVA is working closely with Rösler on the further development of the DLyte Carbide Series and the underlying DryLyte process.
A new standard for carbide cutting tools
The carbide machines use the patented DryLyte technology for surface finishing cemented carbides and are intended to replace drag finishing as the standard process for carbide cutting tool finishing, resulting in even more efficient and better tools. By expanding its partnership with GPAINNOVA, Rösler is making further inroads into the tool making industry, one of the company’s new focus markets. “We at the Rösler Group are delighted to be able to expand our portfolio in the field of cutting edge preparation with such an advanced and promising technology. We are convinced that DLyte is clearly superior to drag finishing in terms of quality, cycle time, handling and cost-effectiveness. This technology will be able to replace the conventional drag finishing systems up to a large scale as the most commonly used process in cutting edge preparation, and that it will quickly establish itself in the market,” says Alexander Fitz, Head of Sales Mass Finishing at Rösler.
The DryLyte technology, also known as dry electropolishing, is much gentler than drag finishing and produces a much more homogeneous surface finish. Unlike traditional methods, the DryLyte technology works much more gently and without a mechanically abrasive procedure. This offers to the companies a new technology that removes material through ion exchange to produce a homogeneous radius preparation and smooth surface. “The process is the future of cutting-edge preparation,” says Fitz. “The technological development behind it is outstanding. We are absolutely convinced that we can offer our customers a technological advantage with this extended partnership”, he adds.
The Spanish technology company is confident in the collaboration with world market leader Rösler: ” The agreement between GPAINNOVA and a world leader like Rösler marks a significant milestone for both entities; by pooling our expertise in the realm of surface finishing, particularly in the treatment of carbide cutting tools, we aim to deliver unparalleled benefits to our customers,” evaluates Pau Sarsanedas, CEO, and co-founder of GPAINNOVA. ” This strategic alliance not only expands our market reach but also equips us to empower a broader spectrum of clients, enabling them to harness the collective knowledge and capabilities of our organizations and unlocking a wealth of opportunities for innovation and growth,” Sarsanedas concludes.
Over the coming months, Rösler is looking forward to numerous trade fair appearances, processing trials and collaborations with companies from the carbide cutting tool industry. “We will convince our customers that the innovative DryLyte technology is up to the daily demands of the challenging industrial environment and can massively increase the product quality of carbide tools,” assesses Fitz.”
