About Hi.automize

Hi.automize GmbH, based in Münster, specializes in the automation of precision machining processes, particularly grinding and polishing in tool and mold manufacturing. The core product is the intelligent tool system iCTS, whose controlled tool compliance ensures constant contact with the component, enabling stable processes, high surface quality, and reproducible results. The company offers two integration paths: CNC-integrated grinding and polishing directly on the machine tool, and robot-based grinding and polishing for complex components and individual applications. In addition to developing and testing the processes, Hi.automize also handles the integration of solutions into existing production environments. The process optimization aims to reduce rework, shorten process times, and lower manufacturing costs. The company boasts more than 50 realized projects, over 70 customers and project partners, and more than 15 years of experience in automated precision machining.
