About Extrude Hone
Extrude Hone specializes in the finishing of metallic components: deburring, polishing, edge radiusing, shaping and flow tuning. The company develops and builds machines, tools and accessories for the technologies Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM, also known as Extrude Honing), Electrochemical Machining (ECM) and Thermal Deburring (TEM). In addition, Extrude Hone offers Contract Shop services, in which customer parts are machined at its own locations worldwide, as well as aftermarket services such as spare parts, service, process media and cathodes. With Microflow, a process for radiusing and flow tuning small orifices is also available. The VECTOR AFM machine series has been delivered in more than 400 units to 22 countries. The processes are aimed at demanding applications with compact part geometries and difficult-to-machine materials. Extrude Hone GmbH in Holzgünz (Bavaria) sells machines and fixtures, operates as a contract shop for contract manufacturing, and offers spare parts and service. Customer industries include automotive, aerospace, medical technology, firearms, additive manufacturing and general mechanical engineering.

Processes and Materials
Abrasive Flow Machining (Extrude Honing)
Polishing and deburring process in which an abrasive medium is pressed through channels and geometries of the workpiece.
Electrochemical Machining / Deburring
Electrochemical process for deburring and edge radiusing, also for difficult-to-machine materials.
Thermal Deburring (T Series)
Pure deburring process for metal parts using thermal energy.
Microflow
Radiusing and flow tuning of small orifices as well as polishing and deburring.
Metallic components
Machining of metallic components, including those with complex geometries and difficult-to-machine materials.
