Rösler Oberflächentechnik GmbH and the Spanish technology group GPAINNOVA have expanded their partnership. Previously, Rösler exclusively distributed GPAINNOVA’s DLyte Industrial Series in the German market. Now, as the world market leader, the company will also handle the worldwide distribution of GPAINNOVA’s Carbide Cutting Tools Series. Additionally, Rösler will manage the individual process development and service of the machines.

GPAINNOVA is collaborating closely with Rösler to further develop the DLyte Carbide Series and the underlying DryLyte process. The carbide machines utilize the patented DryLyte technology for surface finishing cemented carbides. They aim to replace drag finishing as the standard process for carbide cutting tool finishing, leading to more efficient and superior tools. By expanding its partnership with GPAINNOVA, Rösler is advancing into the tool making industry, which is one of the company’s new focus markets.

“We at the Rösler Group are excited to expand our portfolio in cutting edge preparation with such an advanced technology,” says Alexander Fitz, Head of Sales Mass Finishing at Rösler. “We believe that DLyte surpasses drag finishing in terms of quality, cycle time, handling, and cost-effectiveness. It has the potential to replace conventional drag finishing systems on a large scale as the most commonly used process in cutting edge preparation and quickly establish itself in the market.”

The DryLyte technology, also known as dry electropolishing, is much gentler than drag finishing and produces a more homogeneous surface finish. Unlike traditional methods, DryLyte works more gently and without a mechanically abrasive procedure. This offers customers 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,” adds Alexander 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.” The Spanish technology firm expresses confidence in its partnership with Rösler, a global market leader. According to Pau Sarsanedas, CEO and co-founder of GPAINNOVA, the collaboration signifies a significant milestone for both organizations.

Sarsanedas believes that this strategic alliance not only expands their market reach but also enables them to serve a broader spectrum of clients, leveraging the collective knowledge and capabilities of both companies for innovation and growth.

Looking ahead, Rösler anticipates participating in various trade fairs, conducting processing trials, and collaborating with companies in the carbide cutting tool industry. Alexander Fitz of Rösler is confident that their innovative DryLyte technology meets the rigorous demands of the industrial environment and can significantly enhance the product quality of carbide tools.
