About fis
Finzler, Schrock & Kimmel GmbH (fis) in Bad Ems manufactures electroplated diamond and CBN grinding tools for industry as well as dentistry and dental technology. The product range includes grinding wheels, grinding pins, grinding rollers, cutting discs, saw wires, saw bands, drilling tools and diamond files, supplemented by tools with resinoid bonding under the D+Z brand as well as rotating dental diamond instruments from FG grinding pins to trimmer discs. The scope of production includes consulting, design, complete manufacture of custom grinding bodies up to approx. 500 mm diameter, as well as the coating and recoating of tools sent in. Base bodies are made of steel or other metallic materials; the electroplating systems were developed and installed according to in-house concepts. For dental products, only hardened, corrosion-resistant chrome-nickel steels are used. Since 2006, fis has manufactured industrial products under the D+Z brand, which was taken over from Drendel+Zweiling Diamant GmbH.

Materials and Abrasives
Natural Diamond
Irregularly shaped crystals with sharp cutting edges for rapid material removal, including dental FG instruments.
Synthetic Diamond
Blocky crystals for coatings with gentle preparation and low surface roughness.
CBN (Cuboron 1000®)
Cubic boron nitride for grinding tools, e.g. grinding rollers TYPE 52, in the machining of steel.
Steel
Base body material for industrial grinding tools and for coating tools sent in.
Chrome-nickel steel, hardened, corrosion-resistant
Base body of all rotating dental diamond grinding pins.
Carbide (hard metal)
Shanks for grinding pins TYPE 55.
Electroplated Bonding
Core element of production; layer thicknesses of 0.03 to 0.75 mm per grit with defined tolerances.
Resinoid Bonding
Tools of the D+Z brand with diamond or CBN grit.
Hard Chrome
Low-wear coating of diamond files.
Hard Nickel Plating
Coating of needle files, machine files, macro and riffler files.
